Another week and another opportunity for Florida State to crack into the win column. The Seminoles are off to their worst start since 1974 but have shown some signs of life. The team rallied from 24-points down to Louisville in the first half last weekend to cut the deficit to 8 points before losing 31-23.
Quick slant: This is the third time FSU has entered a game as the favorite (Jacksonville State, Louisville). Syracuse hasn’t won on the road in this series, losers of six straight at Doak Campbell Stadium. SU quarterback Garrett Shrader, FSU defensive tackle Fabien Lovett and defensive back Jarrian Jones played together their freshman year at Mississippi State.
