Deondre Francois – Noteworthy
Florida State has its first victory over a ranked team in almost two years – and a shot at a bowl game. Deondre Francois threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Tamorrion Terry with 1:49 left and the Seminoles beat No. 22 Boston College 22-21 on Saturday to keep their bowl hopes alive. Francois was 19 of 39 for 322 yards, shaking off two first-half interceptions for his fourth 300-yard game of the season. Cam Akers had 19 carries for 110 yards for the Seminoles (5-6, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference). Florida State, which snapped a three-game losing streak, got the ball back with 2:45 left and needed to drive 87 yards to score a touchdown. Francois said he felt confident. “I smell blood,” Francois said. “Really, I was ready to go. I just forgot about the first half. You can’t focus on the first half and the mistakes you made. That’s what we did as an offense. We continued to be resilient and we drove the ball down the field.” – AP College Football
