VS.

Florida State goes on the road with an awful record of 2-4 and 1-1 on the road which tells me that the Seminoles are having one of their worst seasons EVER. Now, they will be facing North Carolina Tarheels with a record of 4-2 and a divisional record of 0-1. This game will be simply not that interesting but let’s check some facts out …

Florida State Seminoles runs last at the ACC Atlantic with a perfect negative record of 0-3 on conference challenges which is pretty much unheard of coming from this team but what the hell, all teams have their dry seasons. Their stats are not that bad but they cannot seem to win against their rivals, and they played only two teams ranked in the top 25 so they are getting beat by just anyone. Comparing their stats with UNC thery rank higher in Total Yards (27th), Rushing Yards (83rd), Passing Yards (11th) and Points Scored (52nd) so what is their deal? What is their problem? The QB Christian Ponder has 9 tds and only one interception which is great actually but the amount of times he has get sacked is just sick, 12 times so Florida State offensive line needs to take care of their QB in a better way. The receivers have not done any good either, WR Bert Reed and WR Richard Goodman have not been able to put points on the board for the Seminoles, it seems to me the QB and the WRS are in different frequences. RB Ty Jones and RB Jermaine Thomas are bringing heat on the rushing game, they are doing better than the rest of the team and they will need all the help they can get.

North Carolina Tar Heels have never been a big football program, they are trying to build one out of thin air but it is really complicated and it takes some time. They are running last on the ACC Coastal with a Conference record of 0-2 and an overall record of 4-2. Their record at home is decent (3-1) and they will put Florida State’s offensive line to the test. QB T.J. Yates has 6 tds and 7 interceptions with 12 sacks which means he is not that good. UNC will depends from the rushing game which has been their strong point with RB Shaun Draughn and RB Ryan Houston, they will be the best way to score on the Seminoles and a great chance to may be win the game. Players like RB Greg Little and WR Erik Highsmith are also ready to cooperate with their team, although they haven’t had bright seasons they could also improve their performance now.
