Florida State’s three-game winning streak was snapped with a disappointing road loss at Clemson last week. The Seminoles led midway through the fourth quarter but couldn’t finish as the Tigers scored 13 unanswered points in the final seven minutes.
FSU returns home against N.C. State which is coming off an impressive win over Louisville where the defense held the Cardinals to a season-low 13 points.
Quick slant: FSU has lost three of the last four meetings, including 38-22 in Raleigh last season, but is 6-1 in Tallahassee. The Wolfpack are bowl-eligible for the second straight season and the seventh time in the nine seasons under Dave Doeren.
