Boston College runs all over Florida State

Despite being better than a two-touchdown underdog, Monday’s ACC game between Boston College and Florida State was no sweat for the Eagles, except for coach Bill O’Brien’s polo shirt.

On a hot and humid Labor Day in Tallahassee, BC crushed the Seminoles, 28-13. The game was not as close as the final score. That’s how bad things are for the Seminoles, who are 0-2 after losing to Georgia Tech in Dublin.

The team that was 13-0 last season before being bulldozed by Georgia in the Orange Bowl has now lost three straight.

For Boston College under O’Brien it was a massive road victory. The Eagles had 263 rushing yards and that was after they lost 11 yards while taking three knees rather than run up the score in the final two minutes.

Florida State quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei is on his third school having transferred to FSU after time at Clemson and Oregon State. He was either off target or the victim of drops throughout. The Seminoles had 21 rushing yards on 16 carries.

The Florida State defense had no answer for BC’s rushing attack. Three players, including quarterback Thomas Castellanos, topped the 70-yard mark on the ground.
