Florida State used a late defensive stop and a last-minute, game-winning drive to snap a 4-game losing streak to rival Miami last week. The win keeps FSU’s slim postseason hopes alive with the Seminoles needing wins over Boston College and Florida to reach 6 for bowl eligibility.
FSU has one road win (at North Carolina on Oct. 9) in the last two seasons and faces an Eagles team which is 3-1 at home with the loss coming to N.C. State.
Coaches: Mike Norvell, second season, 7-12 (45-28 overall); Jeff Hafley, second season, 12-9
Quick slant: Florida State holds a 13-5 record in this series, winning the last two games.
