LastNoleOfKrypton’s prediction pretty much sums it up:
Freezing temperatures? Check.
Coach fired? Check.
Best defensive players injured? Check.
AJ Dillon coming off a 242-yard performance vs. Syracuse? Check.
I’m under no illusion as to how this game is going to go; I hope I’m wrong, but this is going to be bad.
FSU 21 BC 38
Florida State has real, actual football to play this weekend. It’s ok if you’ve barely though about football after the Sunday firing of now former FSU coach Willie Taggart. It’s strange times for Florida State. Whichever coach takes over in 2020, it will be the 3rd head coach since 2017. And that doesn’t count interim head coach Odell Haggins, TWICE. It’s a time of uncertainty for the Florida State faithful and it might get worse before it gets better. Oh yeah, Go Noles, beat BC.
