College Football Predictions at Sportsbook.com have Florida State listed as a -14.5 against the spread favorite.

South Florida crushed Charleston Southern 59-0 last weekend, but the news was not all good for the Bulls. Star quarterback Matt Grothe suffered a season ending knee injury in the win. Prior to his departure, Grothe completed 11-of-14 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Redshirt freshman B.J. Daniels stepped in for the senior passer and looked phenomal against the FCS Buccaneers. Daniels hit on 10 of his 13 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown and he also ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns in eight carries.

The Bulls defense held the Bucs to 188 total yards and nine first downs. Charleston converted just two of their 10 third down opportunities and possessed the ball 22:30.

Florida State shook off a horrendous performance against FCS Jacksonville State and thumped the seventh ranked BYU Cougars 54-28 in Provo, Utah last Saturday. The win vaulted the Seminoles to 18th in the rankings and improved their record to 2-1. 

While Florida State certainly deserves credit for their play against the Cougars, BYU did more than its share to aid the Seminoles. The usually reliable Max Hall tossed three interceptions, one which was returned for a score, and Bronco Mendenhall's squad also lost two fumbles. All of the miscues led to a 39:51 to 20:09 time of possession advantage in favor of Florida State.

The Seminoles had 512 yards, 27 first downs, and converted 12 of their 15 third down opportunities in the win. They also ran the ball for 313 yards at 6.4 yards per clip. Quarterback Christian Ponder completed 21-of-26 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns while Ty Jones ran for 108 yards and a touchdown in 12 carries.
