Charleston Southern vs Florida State Prediction
I’ll probably just go with Florida State here, but realistically the line's too thick to mess with. This is the Seminoles’ best shot at a win in quite some time, and the extra rest/prep should do them good. In the Notre Dame game, FSU put up just 208 yards, 14 first downs, two turnovers, and a paltry 3-of-17 on third downs. Scoring has been a major issue this year, as the Seminoles have been below 17 points for nine straight games.
As for Charleston Southern, on Saturday they recorded their ninth straight loss—the second of the last three to be decided by just three points. The Bucs mustered just 11 first downs and 210 total yards (85 passing) in that one, along with 15 penalties for 118 yards. Needless to say, they’ll have a tough uphill climb on the road against Florida State.
