In a stunning upset, the Boston College Eagles defeated the Florida State Seminoles 24-19 on Saturday, ending the Seminoles\u2019 16-year home winning streak. The Eagles had not won at Doak Campbell Stadium since 2003, and their victory was a major upset for the Seminoles.<\/p>\n
The Seminoles got off to a slow start, falling behind 17-0 in the first quarter. Florida State was able to cut the deficit to 17-13 in the second quarter, but the Eagles responded with a touchdown of their own to take a 24-13 lead into halftime. The Seminoles were unable to overcome the early deficit and the Eagles held on for the win.<\/p>\n
Florida State was unable to get their offense going in the first half, as they managed just two field goals in the first two quarters. The Seminoles’ offense was out of sync for much of the day, as they managed just 296 yards of total offense. The Eagles, on the other hand, had a balanced attack, with quarterback Anthony Brown throwing for 218 yards and two touchdowns and running back AJ Dillon rushing for 149 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n
The Seminoles’ defense was unable to contain the Eagles’ offense, as they allowed 24 points and 447 total yards. The defense was unable to get off the field, as the Eagles were able to convert 8 of 13 third-down attempts.<\/p>\n
The loss was a major disappointment for the Seminoles, who had been hoping to start the season with a win. Instead, they find themselves with a 0-1 record and a lot of questions. The Seminoles will need to find a way to get their offense going if they are to have any chance of success this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
