The Florida State Seminoles (3-0, 1-0 ACC) return to Doak Campbell Stadium for the first time in four weeks for a conference matchup with the Boston College Eagles (1-2, 0-1). The Seminoles have defeated the Eagles in ten of their past 11 matchups and will look to continue that trend on Saturday night under the lights in a sold-out stadium.

Boston College has struggled offensively to begin the season, which bodes well for a Florida State defensive line that'll be missing Jared Verse and Fabien Lovett. It'll be imperative for starting quarterback Jordan Travis and the offense to perform to see if the Seminoles can put this game away early.

It's projected to be 79 degrees at kickoff, mostly cloudy, with a 0% chance of rain. It's going to be a beautiful night in Tallahassee as Florida State tries to move to 4-0.
