Game is the 8 pm primetime game on ABC. Gameday will be in Tallahassee for this one as well. Probably the showcase matchup for the ACC conference as a whole.
Florida State has played week competition thus far, but have handled them with ease as should be expected. Wake Forest did have a dogfight with UNC though and we saw what FSU did to them in winning 52-0. This will be the week that FSU can show what they are made of. Primetime game with the whole country watching vs another top 10 team.
Key will be stopping the potent offense with Watkins/Hopkins at WR, Ellington at RB, and Boyd at QB. I think the FSU defense has looked spectacular the last couple of seasons. The offense is what usually hampers them in getting back to what they used to be. Chris Thompson ran for almost 200 yards in the first half on Saturday and looks to be back from a back injury. Manuel is looking better and the line seems to be blocking better.
Still think it will be pretty close. It is a rivalry game after all. I say FSU by 7-10.
