Final Thoughts
I think this is another prime example of the FSU defense needing the FSU offense to show up. If FSU scores 30+, and they have in every game, Jordan Travis has started except Clemson.
It’s a good matchup for the Noles since Boston College has a weak run defense. They essentially need to stop a couple of players on offense. The key to this game overall is continuing to play disciplined football.
They need to continue to limit penalties and avoid turnovers. They have to avoid a slow start on the road in a sleepy environment like Boston College.
The longer a team like that hangs around, the greater the possibility of something crazy happening.
I don’t need Jordan Travis trying to prove he’s Lamar Jackson out there. Just run the ball and take what’s open in the passing game. I don’t think we need to see Jordan Travis throw more than 15-18 times in this game.
If the Noles don’t turn it over and play a clean game, I like their chances to avoid the letdown and get their fifth win of the season.
