The Florida State football team will look to bounce back from its season-opening loss to Georgia Tech on Monday night when Boston College comes to Doak Campbell Stadium at 7:30 pm ET. The Seminoles (0-1, 0-1 ACC) remain the 10th-ranked team in the country -- at least until new polls come out after this weekend -- while the Eagles open their season with new head coach Bill O'Brien at the helm.
