No. 22 Florida State will host a rare Friday night game this week when Boston College comes to town, and the Seminoles are rightfully heavy favorites to win big at home. With three losses already, this year is definitely a disappointment for Florida State, but the talent level in Tallahassee is still extremely high, and they’re facing an opponent that almost certainly does not have the horses to keep up.
Boston College vs. Florida State 2016: Start time, live stream, TV schedule, and 3 things to know
The Seminoles should have an easy time at home on Friday night.
Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports
The good thing for Boston College is that its ACC losing streak is finally over. They snapped a 12-game skid earlier this year against NC State, but are looking at a new streak starting as they face Louisville and Florida State back-to-back. Few teams would emerge from that two-game stretch with any wins at all, so it’s hard to really hold this against them.

Three big things to know
1. It’s difficult to envision a way in which Boston College can win this game. Their defense might be able to slow down Florida State’s offense somewhat, but it would be shocking if the BC offense could score enough points to stay in the game. The Eagles are 122nd in the country in Offensive S&P+, and score under 20 points per game. That’s just not enough.
2. Dalvin Cook had a quiet game last week against NC State after reeling off five straight games over 100 rushing yards. He may get back over the century mark in this game, but BC will make it tough on him.
3. It would be nice if Deondre Francois could have a week where he isn't getting beaten to a fine pulp by opposing defenses. Francois has taken a ton of hits this year, and he's going against a team that gets after the quarterback pretty well.
