Despite being a game relegated to broadcast on the ACC Network, Saturday night’s matchup in Raleigh between NC State and Florida State will have all the trappings of a primetime affair. With both teams being saddled with a conference loss last week, this will essentially be an elimination game with both teams (and Wake Forest) trying to catch Atlantic Division leader Clemson.
For Florida State, this has been a resurgent season, one led by a dramatically improved offense, especially from the arm of QB Jordan Travis. The Seminoles have a balanced offense and a solid defense that has resulted in efforts in line with a true Top 25 team.
