LIVE UPDATES: Florida State Seminoles vs. Boston College Eagles
Special teams have been the X-factor for the Seminoles early on this season and it continues to show up due to the intense focus on special teams by the Florida State coaching staff.
Benson being introduced in the return game definitely reaped its benefits early as he showed his amazing ability to break tackles in the open field as multiple Boston College defenders had their chances at stopping the return. Benson's physicality could be the best throughout the team as he frequently runs through defenders. Part of the three-headed monster, Benson and his fellow running backs will all see plenty of time but if Benson continues this aggression when he sees the field we may see Benson truly being featured in the backfield.
It's great to see transfers coming into the Florida State program and making game-changing impacts so soon in their Florida State career. All the transfers have really elevated Florida State and are becoming the backbone of the program.
