Florida State shuts out Boston College on the road 14-0
BOSTON — Florida State quarterback Everett Golson escaped not one, but two defenders who had a chance to sack him for a first-half safety.
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey returned a fourth-quarter fumble 36 yards for a touchdown, and No. 9 Florida State’s defense shut down the Eagles in a 14-0 victory Friday night.
The Seminoles (3-0, 1-0 ACC) marched easily down the field on their opening drive, but then struggled against a BC team that had beaten two FCS opponents.
Golson completed 15 of 24 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown to help Florida State run its ACC winning streak to 25.
On BC’s next possession, quarterback Darius Wade was knocked out of the game with what appeared to be a serious left ankle injury.
Jeff Smith took five snaps at quarterback before he was replaced by Troy Flutie, nephew of the 1984 Heisman Trophy winner.
