Florida State and Boston College will square off on Saturday in a pivotal ACC matchup. Both teams are coming off of disappointing losses last weekend, and will be looking to get back on track.
Florida State vs. Boston College: A Preview
The Seminoles entered the season ranked in the top 10, but have struggled to live up to expectations. They lost their first two games of the season, and needed a come-from-behind victory over Louisville to avoid an 0-3 start. Last weekend, they were upset by Jacksonville State, an FCS team.
Boston College has also had a disappointing start to the season. They lost their first two games of the season, and needed a come-from-behind victory over Maine to avoid an 0-3 start. Last weekend, they were upset by Rutgers, a team that they had beaten in each of the previous three meetings.
Both teams will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing losses. Florida State will be looking to prove that they are still a contender for the ACC Championship, while Boston College will be looking to avoid falling to 1-4 on the season.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, September 24th. It will be televised on ESPN.
Florida State's offense has been one of the most disappointing units in the country this season. They are averaging just 17.3 points per game, which ranks 121st in the FBS. They have also struggled to run the ball, averaging just 3.4 yards per carry.
The Seminoles' offense is led by quarterback Jordan Travis. Travis is a talented runner, but he has struggled to pass the ball this season. He has completed just 55.6% of his passes, and has thrown four interceptions.
The Seminoles' receiving corps is led by wide receiver Johnny Wilson. Wilson is a big target who is good at making contested catches. He has 14 catches for 223 yards and two touchdowns this season.
The Seminoles' offensive line has been a major disappointment this season. They have struggled to protect Travis, and have not been able to open up holes for the running game.
Boston College's offense has also struggled this season. They are averaging just 18.3 points per game, which ranks 117th in the FBS. They have also struggled to run the ball, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry.
The Eagles' offense is led by quarterback Phil Jurkovec. Jurkovec is a talented passer, but he has been injured this season. He has missed the last two games, and is questionable to play against Florida State.
The Eagles' receiving corps is led by wide receiver Zay Flowers. Flowers is one of the best receivers in the ACC. He has 25 catches for 367 yards and three touchdowns this season.
The Eagles' offensive line has been a major disappointment this season. They have struggled to protect Jurkovec, and have not been able to open up holes for the running game.
This is a tough game to predict. Both teams are coming off of disappointing losses, and both teams are looking to bounce back. I think that Florida State will win this game, but it will be a close one. The Seminoles have more talent on their roster, and they are playing at home.
**Score:** Florida State 24, Boston College 20
