Florida State Seminoles vs Boston College Eagles team news
Florida State Seminoles team news
Florida State suffered a humbling defeat last weekend in their unexpected loss to Georgia Tech. After a gruelling journey back to the U.S. and a week of intense practice, the Seminoles are expected to come out with renewed focus. DJ Uiagalelei, a transfer quarterback from Oregon State and Clemson, struggled in his debut, throwing for just 193 yards at an average of 7.3 yards per attempt.
Last season, however, he averaged 219.8 yards per game and 8.4 yards per attempt at Oregon State. Perhaps it was first-game jitters and the unfamiliar setting, but Uiagalelei usually performs at a higher level than what he demonstrated against Georgia Tech.
FSU bolstered their roster with ten four-star transfers, according to 247Sports, the highest number in college football this season. Although this influx of talent didn’t translate to a victory in Week 0, it’s just the beginning, and the Seminoles will return to their home turf on Monday. FSU has been dominant at home, winning nine straight games at Doak Campbell Stadium, including six consecutive victories over Boston College.
Boston College Eagles team news
A coaching overhaul in late January is far from ideal, yet Boston College made a significant move by securing Bill O'Brien. The Boston native, who served as the New England Patriots' offensive play-caller last season, last held a collegiate head coaching position at Penn State in 2012-13.
In last year's matchup, Boston College came close to causing an upset, largely thanks to their quarterback, Thomas Castellanos. The Georgia native racked up 400 total yards, averaging 8.2 yards per play against the Seminoles. Though Castellanos now faces the challenge of adjusting to O’Brien’s system, the new coaching staff is unlikely to restrain his versatile and dynamic playmaking abilities.
But Castellanos isn't the only offensive weapon for Boston College. Running back Kye Robichaux, who rushed for 780 yards last season, is joined by Kansas State transfer Treshaun Ward in the backfield. The Eagles also benefit from the return of last season's leading receiver Lewis Bond (646 yards), along with three seasoned starters on the offensive line, providing Castellanos with solid support as they transition into O’Brien’s offensive scheme.
