Big Injury Updates: Read all about them here. 

4th Quarter

Dennis Grosel makes a key third down pass to Ethon Williams, runs it again. Then on 2nd and goal he helicopters into the end zone. 24-24 Tie Game

BC drove, some nice passes from Dennis Grosel, but drive stalls on dropped passes to Zay Flowers and AJ Dillon 24-17 FSU

3rd Quarter

BC's defense is playing really poorly (theme of the season), as Cam Akers trots in 24-14 FSU

Jordan Travis comes in for James Blackman and runs for 30 yard touchdown, ugly ugly tackling. FSU 17-14

2nd Quarter

Two plays later, Tamorrion Terry in single coverage gets hit with a bomb from James Blackman. Eerily similar to last year as he burns Brandon Sebastian 14-10 Boston College

FSU fumbles on kickoff return, Andrew Strater had it, but FSU retains the ball. 

David Bailey and AJ Dillon those Buffalo Boys just drive the ball, FSU getting beaten up up front by the offensive line. Touchdown David Bailey 14-3 Boston College

BC is struggling to move the ball on the ground, FSU is hitting back. 

Florida State starts off moving the ball with Cam Akers and Tamorrion Terry but an unbelievably bad 12 man in the huddle penalty on 4th down kills drive. 

1st Quarter

BC drives, no big chunk plays, BC gets to 4th and 2, Aaron Boumerhi attempts a 37 field goal, misses badly. 

Defense looked shaky, FSU was able to march down the field, but stalls out near the end zone. Field goal for the Noles. 7-3 BC

What a statement drive, BC just ran the ball down Florida State's throat, with Dillon, Grosel and Bailey making big runs. After a botched snap on 2nd down, Kobay White was wide open and Grosel nailed him. 7-0 Boston College

Florida State wins the coin toss and elects to kick to Boston College. 

Alec Lindstrom is down on the field, looks like a lower injury, was able to get off on his own.
