Florida State was back in Tallahassee for its fourth game of the season, and its second ACC clash. After starting the season 3-0, the Seminoles were scheduled to play a depleted Boston College team. The Noles were going against a talented quarterback, but it wasn’t enough to face a deep defense like the one FSU was fielding.
The highlight of the Seminoles' win was their explosive offense, but the Noles’ defense held down the fort on every occasion where the Eagles tried to get back in. Their linebackers had a great game yet again, and their depth on the defensive line was shown.
