The worst season in a very long time for the Florida State Seminoles took another turn on a Friday night in Massachusetts as the Noles fell to Boston College 35-3. Boston College wins their third straight conference game for the first time since joining the ACC in 2005, and beat Florida State for the first time since 2009 in blowout fashion.
If the final score was any indication, the play on the field matched the eventual outcome. Florida State didn’t have a pulse seemingly against a Boston College team that is beginning to believe in themselves. The Eagles used some razzle dazzle on their opening score as Jeff Smith took a reverse and tossed a 34 yard touchdown pass to Kobay White for the opening 7-0 lead.
Boston College added to their lead as quarterback Anthony Brown found Tommy Sweeney for an 11 yard score making it 14-0 Eagles. Following a Ty Schwab interception of freshman quarterback James Blackman, six plays later Anthony Brown took matters into his own hands with a four yard touchdown run making it 21-0 Eagles over Florida State.
The Seminoles best drive of the game came before the half as a 13 play drive ended with a 36 yard field goal by Ricky Aguayo for the lone FSU score of the game.
Boston College smelling blood scored twice more in the second half on an A.J. Dillion two yard touchdown run, and a Darius Wade one yard touchdown run. For Wade it was his first career rushing touchdown score at Boston College.
Blackman finished the game 11-26 for 102 yards and an interception. Cam Akers led Florida State with 42 yards rushing, but Eagles’ running back A.J. Dillion’s 149 yards on 33 carries with a touchdown led the way for Boston College as FSU suffered its largest loss to an unranked team since losing to North Carolina, also by 32, in 2001
This also marks the first time there has been a five loss season under head coach Jimbo Fisher at Florida State.
The Seminoles will return home next week to host Syracuse.
