It was far from the prettiest result, but Florida State survived another slow start last Saturday to record a 20-point victory over USF and improve to 2-0 on the season.
Now the new-look Seminoles will take on their first ACC test of the season when they face Boston College on the road this Friday night.
Boston College, which has recorded back-to-back home wins over FCS strugglers Maine and Howard, has given FSU problems each of the last two seasons. The 2013 championship Seminoles had their closest regular-season test in Massachusetts, and 2014's team needed a late field goal to beat BC at home.
