Unc fla state game

The focus of the FSU offense will be their run game. The Florida State rushing offense is ranked third in the ACC, averaging over yards per game on the ground. Jordan Travis, who has been injured throughout the start of this season, led Florida State to victory last week.

The redshirt sophomore dual-threat quarterback is the same player that made the Tar Heels pay last year. Travis rushed for a career high yards against UNC last season, and tallied his only multiple rushing touchdown game of his career. Once again this week, the Tar Heel defense will face off against one of the top rushers in the league. Jashaun Corbin ranks third in the ACC with yards on the season.

He is one of three ACC running backs that is averaging over yards per game. A key battle tomorrow will be in the red zone. If the Tar Heels struggle with a mobile quarterback, will the defense bend, but not break in the red zone? Florida State is tied for fifth in the ACC with 14 team sacks. Leading the way is redshirt senior Jermaine Johnson. The defensive end is tied for the league lead with 5. Carolina is dead last in the conference in sacks allowed, and by a wide margin.

The offensive line struggles will be a storyline in each game. After a two-game homestand, the Florida State Seminoles will be on the road. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games. Things were close when the Seminoles and the Syracuse Orange clashed last week, but FSU ultimately edged out the opposition With UNC ahead 24 to nothing at the half, the game was all but over already.

Their success was spearheaded by the efforts of QB Sam Howell , who passed for three TDs and yards on 32 attempts, and RB Ty Chandler , who punched in one rushing touchdown in addition to catching two passes for one TD and 87 yards.

One of the most thrilling moments was Chandler's yard TD reception in the first quarter. FSU is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past three games, so buyers beware.
