Showing true colors, Boston College and Florida State face remarkable reality

The future looks bright for one team that took the Alumni Stadium field Friday, and it is not the one that has had five consecutive top-ranked recruiting classes in the ACC.

Boston College is the only FBS school to have a freshman leading its team in passing, rushing and receiving. Boston College has also averaged out to have the ACC’s 13th-best recruiting class across the past five years, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.

That did not matter in a 35-3 domination of Florida State, a game that showcased some of the surprising bursts from the Eagles’ young pups while underscoring the dysfunction that is the 2017 Seminoles’ season.
