The Florida State Seminoles had big dreams of making the college football playoff again. Those dreams were likely dashed last week when they lost to Clemson for their second loss of the season. Florida State will try to get a win this week and move forward with their 7-2 record as they host the NC State Wolfpack on Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium. The Seminoles are 5-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference while the Wolfpack are 6-3 overall and 2-3 in the conference.
Florida State is coming off of that 23-13 loss to Clemson on the ground with Sean Maguire at quarterback. It is likely Everett Golson is back under center this week with his 1,659 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and just one interception. Dalvin Cook has been dominating in the run game and has 1,231 yards on just 148 carries to go with 12 touchdowns. Travis Rudolph has 41 catches for 587 yards and six touchdowns to lead the pass game. If Cook goes off again this week, it wouldn’t be a shock to anyone if this game turns into a blowout.
The Wolfpack have won two straight including a 24-8 win last week at Boston College and are averaging 34.6 points a game which is four more than the Seminoles are averaging. Jacoby Brissett has thrown for 1,798 yards, 14 touchdowns and two interceptions this season for NC State under center while Jaylen Samuels has been catching big passes with 49 receptions for 467 yards and five touchdowns. Matthew Dayes is the key to the run game with 865 yards on the ground and 12 touchdowns. The Wolfpack will be ready for a fired-up Florida State squad.
