FLORIDA STATE — The Florida State Seminoles (3-0, 1-0) who have started the 2022 season on a hot streak of blow-out wins and road games as underdogs and favorites, will now look ahead to face the Boston College Eagles (1-2, 0-1) at home this upcoming Saturday for their second conference game of the year.
According to DraftKings, the ‘Noles are 18-point favorites heading into the week and although Friday’s contest with the Louisville Cardinals ended in a win, the injury bug struck FSU hard with multiple players leaving the game including starting quarterback Jordan Travis. Backup quarterback Tate Rodemaker answered the call leading to a comeback victory and grading out at 76.9 per pff.com with a passer rating of 197.6.
The primetime matchup against the Eagles will kick off at 8:00 p.m. on the ACCN and features a monster running back room for the Seminoles in Treshaun Ward, Lawrence Toafili, and Trey Benson alongside a revamped receiving corps in Johnny Wilson, Malik McClain, Mycah Pittman, and Ontaria Wilson.
Johnny Wilson took over his first conference game on the road in the Garnet and Gold last week with seven catches, 140+ yards, and two touchdowns showing chemistry with both quarterbacks, and was named ACC receiver of the week.
