James not apart of Eagles’ depth chart
Grayson James (undisclosed) is not part of the Eagles’ depth chart for their game Monday at Florida State, Trevor Hass of The Boston Globe reports. According to Curran Schestag of SB Nation, James was recently out for the Eagles’ team practices because of minor nicks. They may be more than minor though, considering his chart exclusion suggests he will sit out against the reigning ACC champions.
Uiagaleli struggles in season opener
D.J. Uiagalelei was 19-for-27 passing for 193 yards during Saturday’s 24-21 defeat to Georgia Tech. He also had six rushes for seven yards. Florida State was very conservative with the ball through out the game taking little shots down the field. This led to a very modest final stat line for Uiagalelei. The Seminoles may look to open things up more offensively next week against another explosive offense in Boston College, if so it may give better indication of how Uiagalelei can perform for the season.

Boston College vs. Florida State Prediction
Take the under. Florida State wasn’t a total disaster last week in Ireland– the Seminoles just looked uninspiring. They should rebound tonight against Boston College. I expect FSU to build a lead in the first half and then take the air out of the ball in the second. Since they already have a loss on their resume, they won’t take many chances against an Eagles team that won’t be able to score much, if at all.
Boston College vs. Florida State Prediction: UNDER 49.5
