Florida State Snaps Road Losing Streak with Win over Boston College
The Seminoles used a fake short field goal to cap a 12-play, 63-yard drive and take a 21-17 halftime lead.
On Saturday, the Florida State Seminoles defeated the Boston College Eagles 31-24 at Alumni Stadium, securing a victory in interim head coach Rick Stockstill's debut and snapping a 12-game road losing streak.
Florida State entered the contest following the firing of former head coach Mike Norvell after a three-game losing streak; the victory marked the first road win in 1,078 days for the Seminoles.
Freshman running back Amari Thomas scored two rushing touchdowns, while kicker Gabe Panikowski scored on a fake field goal; Panikowski's 1-yard run gave Florida State a 21-17 lead before halftime.
Safety Ja'Bril Rawls and defensive back Nehemiah Chandler recorded critical second-half interceptions, stifling Boston College's momentum and allowing the Seminoles to seal the narrow victory.
The Seminoles improved to 4-5 overall, maintaining bowl eligibility hopes; Stockstill's successful debut provides momentum as Florida State seeks to build on its first road win since November 2023.
