Florida State vs Boston College Game Preview

Why Boston College Will Win

Can the Boston College pass rush be enough to bother the Seminole backfield?

The run defense hasn’t been all that bad over the last few weeks after getting run over by Rutgers, but it’s the pass rush that needs to get to the FSU quarterback – no matter who that is.

Tate Rodemaker is the likely starter, but Jordan Travis might give it a go on a gimpy leg after getting hurt against Louisville. Rodemaker ended up pulling out the win hitting 6-of-10 passes for 109 yards and two scores with a pick, but now the BC coaching staff had a week to prepare for him.

The FSU secondary has been solid so far, but it allowed over 200 yards in each of the last two weeks, and it’s about to get thrown on over and over again because …

Why Florida State Will Win

Boston College REALLY can’t run the ball.

It gave it a shot in the 38-17 win over Maine, but it was still a struggle. The passing game finally perked up against the FCSer, but it didn’t do enough in losses to Rutgers and Virginia Tech, and the ground game came up with just 33 yards on 54 carries in the two games.

Florida State has the punting game to give the struggling Eagle offense long field to work with, its own ground game has been solid enough to take over, and the O should dominate the time of possession battle if all goes according to plan.

What’s Going To Happen

Boston College hasn’t been playing well, but Florida State is starting to get a bit beaten up. However, the Noles will move the chains and the Eagles won’t.

It’ll take about a half to get going, and then the FSU running game will start to bust off a few big runs. New star Seminole pass rusher Jared Verse is hurting, but the pressure will still be there on Phil Jurkovec throughout the game to ever let the Eagle offense get comfortable.

It’ll be another ugly win for the Seminoles, but 4-0 looks beautiful no matter what.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Florida State vs Boston College Game Preview


Why Florida State Will Win

Florida State should be able to run for over 200 yards.

Yes, BC didn’t face a slew of high-powered passing teams – it didn’t play Pitt or Wake Forest – in ACC play, but it allowed over 210 rushing yards in four of the last six games and lost three of them.

Florida State keeps on fighting, and it can get bowl eligible by winning this and taking down Florida – not as crazy a thought as it seemed a few weeks ago – and it happens on the ground. Sort of.

Boston College doesn’t do a lot to get into the backfield – the Florida State offensive line should catch a bit of a break – but it’s not just about the rushing attack lately.

Jordan Travis threw for 274 yards against Miami last week, hitting on a slew of deep plays to keep up the momentum from a good run in the middle of the season.

Why Boston College Will Win

Now that’s how it’s supposed to work.

It took a week to get back up to speed, but the Boston College passing game clicked in with Phil Jurkovec throwing for over 300 yards in the 41-30 win over Georgia Tech. Now the team is bowl eligible, and it can go for trying for one of the better games.

The pass defense continues to be strong – statistically, it helps to play Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech – and now it gets a Florida State team that’s been better through the air, but has to run to win.

The Noles are 0-3 when failing to get to 100 yards and 1-5 when not running for 205 or more. Yes, Boston College has allowed a ton of rushing yards lately, but again, that was about playing teams that didn’t throw a ton.

NFL Expert Picks: CFN Week 11

What’s Going To Happen

As we speak, it’s around 80 in Tallahassee, Florida. It’s supposed to be in the low 40s in Chestnut Hill on Saturday.

Florida State might be playing better, but Jurkovec is making a big difference for a Boston College team that’s finally starting to score again.

The Eagles will pull this off, but to keep with the theme of the of the season, Florida State will play another interesting game.
