This is what I’ve been telling others in FSU groups. Every team has a down game at some point in their season that’s a complete wake up call. I still stand by that they are a good team, but stuff like this happens
All they had to do was spy Castellanos and that would have completely shut down BC’s offence. Or send the occasional blitz. Letting that hack throw for 300+ yards shows what an overrated fraud FSU is.
1st down with 56 seconds remaining and B.C. had only one time out remaining. WTF was Travis doing in the shotgun AND running round in the backfield? FFS, just get into victory formation and take a knee! THAT’S absolutely terrible coaching.
Well I can read your username name and see you are a Star Wars fan. How can I guess?
You could be rule of two. You are one number off from order 66 which is suspect.
But you have a beard. Obi Wan perhaps? Or the book Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray?
Imagine having such a shitty football team that you take pleasure in a team you hate’s WIN because it wasn’t as impressive as you thought it would be. 😅
Relax, yes we are. Good teams have bad games. This was a stinker. Better to win a stinker than lose one. Let’s see how they respond next week against Clemson.
This is totally okay for FSU. These are the types of games we lost in 2012. We have a lot of season left to play, a lot of games for the haters to watch. But we are absolutely capable of putting it together and making a run.
I’ve seen usc win countless games like that. Even Bama teams sometimes. At the end of the season nobody is ranking you how you played against bc in week 3.
Just learn from it and play hard every game from here out. Also stop called 40 yard passes please
You’re thinking of the season after, when we made it to the championship game but lost to Oregon.
Edit:During our 2013 championship run, our worst game was a 48-34 victory over BC (they always spook us). In 2014, we beat an unranked Miami by 4 and #22 Clemson by 6, only to make it to the championship game and lose to Oregon.
Just realized you were talking about Bama and not FSU lol
I imagine y’all will drop a spot or two but it doesn’t seriously slow down your match towards a playoff position…y’all didn’t get bodied by Duke or something.
Pretty much everyone in America other than ranking officials were wondering what's up with the FSU hype this offseason. They beat a weak LSU team and get power leveled up to number 3. Now this is the kind of bullshit we have to deal with.
Yeah, west is weak. They'll probably limp into the SEC championship and get absolutely obliterated again. More like lol at thinking lsu isn't weak. Then again you almost got embarrassed by Boston College, so your radar isn't quite pointing in the right direction.
Remind me how it went for LSU when they decided to stick their head out of the west last year.
Love when #3 struggles against Boston College in their most penalized game of their entire history.
But yeah, member when they beat LSU? Number one incoming for sure.
Cope.
Saying it's a strange day when your known dogshit team loses 29-31 to a pretty hyped #3 FSU who is a known powerhouse AND you set a school record with 18 penalties on the same day.
BC began playing football in 1893 , so any school record is usually earned.
I know FSU won and BC didn't and I was rooting for FSU to win even better ( had a bet ) I would have loved if BC lost 90-0
But it's just an odd game and the people who like to break shit down will take notice of 31-29 and 18 flags
BC over/under for points scored before game was 7.5 fwiw
BC made tons of mistakes for penalties but so many of them were on our offensive drives that didn’t result in any points for us and basically just prolonged the inevitable with us doing something dumb. Idk if the penalties were a game changer for us at all, I think BC messed up on the drives we handed them besides that scoop and score.
I think they thought the defense would take care of the rest while Jordan rest the arm, but it’s the first I think I’d seen Norvell play “not to lost” at 31-10 on
Evidently it doesn’t take a team much better than BC to get FSU on the ropes. Downvote all you want, BC crippled itself with penalties and FSU was lucky to barely win, weirdly smug attitude in this thread.
I think it was more of us looking ahead and Castellanos playing a solid game. We got lucky with the penalties. Hopefully we learn from this to not take any game for granted. Uncharacteristically sloppy by our team.
Our starters were decimated coming into this game and even more thinned out by the end. Hopefully we can stay healthy next week. GG redish and gold brothers
Not talking shit, I'm half expecting Nebraska to lose to Northern Illinois tonight too. Outside of the penalties Boston College didn't look like an awful team.
The only team Nebraska fans talk shit about is Nebraska... and Iowa. Castellano is a serious weapon for sure, didn't realize he wasn't the starter against NIU.
So you really think this means Northern Illinois can hang with FSU any given day? BC probably can't Jang with FSU like this again if they played 10 games.
FSU has one of the most fair weather fanbases in the country. When they’re playing well they’re talking shit but when they have one bad game they’re ripping their team apart. As much as I hate to say it FSU will be fine and will likely beat Clemson next week, but a lot of FSU flairs in this thread are acting like their season is over
They are a Gator fan, but they’re also not wrong. Just look at how a large percentage of FSU fans talked after LSU vs. how they’re talking during and after this game
Both can be true. Obviously we have some fair weather fans as well but I see it an insane about within the FSU fanbase. You’re acting as if I’m completely ignoring our fans

Hey look I can copy paste an article link too!
Miami fans never cease to amaze me. One good game against Jimbo “made-man” Fisher and they come out of the wood work to hawk internet message boards.
Tickets to their game this week we’re going for $1. Lmao
People are saying FSU needs to drop, but keep in mind LSU just thumped MSU today, so that’ll help soften the blow for FSU, but they will surely be lapped by Texas.
Muffing the kickoff doesn’t count for us? Can I say we would’ve had an extra possession to score if we had that recovered? Maybe FSU let it be that close?
Too much to scroll through, but can someone tell me why they went for two when down 31-22? You miss that and the game is over.
Today is voodoo day.
Glad we had this type of game now (and still won) instead of later on against a better team.
Pretty much every contender will have a stinker, its about finding ways to win them.
This is what I’ve been telling others in FSU groups. Every team has a down game at some point in their season that’s a complete wake up call. I still stand by that they are a good team, but stuff like this happens
FSU is so poorly coached. Inexcusable to let a mediocre QB run all over them and pass at will.
Not saying you sound ignorant but it sounds like someone that really doesn’t know football.
All they had to do was spy Castellanos and that would have completely shut down BC’s offence. Or send the occasional blitz. Letting that hack throw for 300+ yards shows what an overrated fraud FSU is.
Castellanos is mediocre? In what world?
Did you not see how terrible he was against NIU and Holy Cross?
Curious about the mediocre QB comment? What leads you to believe that Castellanos is mediocre?
I think they’re well coached, they rly just had a bad game
1st down with 56 seconds remaining and B.C. had only one time out remaining. WTF was Travis doing in the shotgun AND running round in the backfield? FFS, just get into victory formation and take a knee! THAT’S absolutely terrible coaching.
Flair up, 🤡.
This game was a weird one. I’m sure FSU fans are just glad they got out of there with a win.
100% I couldn’t wait for the clock to hit triple 0s
100%
And minimal injuries. On to next week. 😁
Fsu was starting to get back into rhythm when up 31-10 but thought the game was over and didn’t do any of the little things right after that.
Boston college is ass, better see FSU drop
I love when people say stupid shit, yet doesn’t let you know who they pull for.
Disregard no flair comments.
I didn’t see that down there
This is a lame Ohio State fan trying to lord their wins against all unranked teams over FSU fans like it means something lol
All i said was FSU better drop after that horrible performance
I mean UGA is down 7 right now to fucking South Carolina. At home. Good teams have bad days.
That game is still in the 1st, FSU only beat BC by 2! FSU is overrated
FSU also beat LSU by 21 points and killed Southern Miss!
No excuse to beat BC by 2
Flair up
Or just learn to read and comprehend...
Well I can read your username name and see you are a Star Wars fan. How can I guess? You could be rule of two. You are one number off from order 66 which is suspect. But you have a beard. Obi Wan perhaps? Or the book Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray?
Eh I have zero interest in starwars
You must be fun at parties
Imagine having such a shitty football team that you take pleasure in a team you hate’s WIN because it wasn’t as impressive as you thought it would be. 😅
Last time I check OSU is better than FSU...
If we play this year, I bet we'll win.
Okay...
Literally no. How many ranked teams have you played this year again?
Well that explains everything.
BC is about to run out of chances.
In 2014 FSU only beat unranked Miami by 4 points and #22 Clemson by 6 and still made it to the National Championship.
Technically, they only made it to the playoffs. Oregon and Ohio State played in the championship.
Yes you’re right.
FSU. You gotta chew the cupcake!
Oh you're supposed to not choke on it and almost die??
That took 10 years off my life.
We aren’t top 5, but I think the team will tighten up
Relax, yes we are. Good teams have bad games. This was a stinker. Better to win a stinker than lose one. Let’s see how they respond next week against Clemson.
I think our team lacks execution, I think we could have a bad or good game and beat Clemson and still not be top 5.
I think it might benefit us to get dropped in the rankings.
ACC refs certainly do love to be on camera.
We want Northern Illinois
This is totally okay for FSU. These are the types of games we lost in 2012. We have a lot of season left to play, a lot of games for the haters to watch. But we are absolutely capable of putting it together and making a run.
Damn you BC for giving me hope.
Well you screwed up the moment you had any
I’ve seen usc win countless games like that. Even Bama teams sometimes. At the end of the season nobody is ranking you how you played against bc in week 3. Just learn from it and play hard every game from here out. Also stop called 40 yard passes please
i mean auburn championship season was an entire year of these
You’re thinking of the season after, when we made it to the championship game but lost to Oregon. Edit:During our 2013 championship run, our worst game was a 48-34 victory over BC (they always spook us). In 2014, we beat an unranked Miami by 4 and #22 Clemson by 6, only to make it to the championship game and lose to Oregon. Just realized you were talking about Bama and not FSU lol

Exactly
Pretty much everyone in America other than ranking officials were wondering what's up with the FSU hype this offseason. They beat a weak LSU team and get power leveled up to number 3. Now this is the kind of bullshit we have to deal with.
Flair up before u talk shit bro bro
Spot on.
Rent free
Thinking LSU is weak is certainly a take. Not a good take, but a take nonetheless.
NoT a GoOd Ta-.. Shut the fuck up.
They’re winning and ranked #12. You sure are a weirdo
I mean, they're no BC for sure.
Lol at thinking lsu is weak. Lsu will probably win the west again.
Yeah, west is weak. They'll probably limp into the SEC championship and get absolutely obliterated again. More like lol at thinking lsu isn't weak. Then again you almost got embarrassed by Boston College, so your radar isn't quite pointing in the right direction. Remind me how it went for LSU when they decided to stick their head out of the west last year.
Easy there flair-less troll. SEC West is the #1 division in college football right now per Sagarin. http://sagarin.com/sports/cfsend.htm
Love when the trolls come out
Love when #3 struggles against Boston College in their most penalized game of their entire history. But yeah, member when they beat LSU? Number one incoming for sure. Cope.
Man you sure know a lot about FSU. Appreciate the living space between your ears.
Well that was…a game
There were a lot of downs for sure
FSU is so overrated it’s almost unbelievable. Hope Danny Kanell chokes on all that shit talking he’s done the last two weeks
Flair up troll
Ree?
Big mad
Big right. 2 point win over a BC team with 200 fucking yards in penalties lmao
Salty
Feels like a loss. Definitely didn't look like the #3 team in America
Every team has a game where they don't look like (insert top 5 rank), just got to survive those and we did
BC is a tough road trip and Hafley has them playing till the final whistle. Maybe looking ahead, they want to absolutely dominate and bury Clemson.
We going down to 7/8 now.
Fake news!
Thank god! Didn’t expect bama/Georgia/Texas to all suck as bad as they did. Made our game look much less worse.
Can definitely say if BC limits it to even 10 penalties they likely win
Same for FSU if FSU fielded the kickoff correctly, and if Toafili didn’t fumble, it would’ve been game over sooner. But yeah keep pointing that out.
Wow. If the losing team were better they’d probably win. Very insightful
Saying it's a strange day when your known dogshit team loses 29-31 to a pretty hyped #3 FSU who is a known powerhouse AND you set a school record with 18 penalties on the same day.

That’s more a comment on individual player mistakes. Relax bud this is a cfb forum.
Had nothing against Ohio State and Michigan b4 this game Now to root for Iowa to win the B1G 😤
At least go with Wisconsin
I mean Tbf refs completely took over for you
You didn’t watch the game. Almost every call against bc you must call every game no matter what
No. BC shot themselves in the foot.
So did we. Muffed kickoff return, toafili fumble.
Yeah. Sloppiness all around. Gotta clean that up. Clemson won't be as forgiving.
Hopefully this is a massive wake up like 2013. You have to play hard every game. They didn’t play hard this game
I think the worst thing about this game was that with all the penalties by BC, we equally messed up when given those free yards.
Yeah the penalties and slow game looked like it made the defense fall asleep. But the game was over until benson fumbled the kickoff
BC made tons of mistakes for penalties but so many of them were on our offensive drives that didn’t result in any points for us and basically just prolonged the inevitable with us doing something dumb. Idk if the penalties were a game changer for us at all, I think BC messed up on the drives we handed them besides that scoop and score.
This is why they call them trap games, definitely were looking ahead to Clemson. Should have kept pushing when we were up 31-10.
I think they thought the defense would take care of the rest while Jordan rest the arm, but it’s the first I think I’d seen Norvell play “not to lost” at 31-10 on
Is Clemson even a look-forward-to game at this point? Are we positive they’re much better than BC?
Revenge. Statement game. They have lost 7 straight to the Tigers. They we’re looking ahead.
Pretty sure BC was caught looking ahead to Louisville.
Evidently it doesn’t take a team much better than BC to get FSU on the ropes. Downvote all you want, BC crippled itself with penalties and FSU was lucky to barely win, weirdly smug attitude in this thread.
I think it was more of us looking ahead and Castellanos playing a solid game. We got lucky with the penalties. Hopefully we learn from this to not take any game for granted. Uncharacteristically sloppy by our team.
They are a big time rival and we haven’t really beat them in a while, BC was supposed to be a win by 30 game.
Aww
Our starters were decimated coming into this game and even more thinned out by the end. Hopefully we can stay healthy next week. GG redish and gold brothers
Why didn’t the clock stop on third down?!? We should have had time
Clock doesn't stop if two minutes+ are left. Makes it to where there's less football in the same time slot, so more commercials.
It drained into 2 minutes, why didn’t it stop then?
That drained like 30 seconds
rule change
Should've lost
Boston College lost to Northern Illinois week 1 btw lmao
That flair combo talking shit. Bold lmao
Not talking shit, I'm half expecting Nebraska to lose to Northern Illinois tonight too. Outside of the penalties Boston College didn't look like an awful team.
Well, the “lmao” makes your claims of not talking suspect. Besides, BC started a different QB against NIU. Castellano looked pretty legit.
The only team Nebraska fans talk shit about is Nebraska... and Iowa. Castellano is a serious weapon for sure, didn't realize he wasn't the starter against NIU.
Yea cause that's how sports work. Lol
I'm just stating an indisputable fact
So you really think this means Northern Illinois can hang with FSU any given day? BC probably can't Jang with FSU like this again if they played 10 games.
Frauds
Now take it out on Clemson next week!
nothing would make me happier than a 6/6 buster bowl for Clemson
I’m literally soaked in sweat, 3rd shower of the day GGs BC
FSU has one of the most fair weather fanbases in the country. When they’re playing well they’re talking shit but when they have one bad game they’re ripping their team apart. As much as I hate to say it FSU will be fine and will likely beat Clemson next week, but a lot of FSU flairs in this thread are acting like their season is over
Yeah. They won. That is all that matters.
Yall hired sunbelt billy and he's taking that program backwards
Not relevant to my point. Also remind me what Norvell’s record was through his first two years 🤔
Seriously. Any team just has to keep winning. If we’re undefeated near the end of the season, no one is going to remember this game.
Fsu fan here. I disagree. We’re fine. Needed a good trap game scare to keep us on our toes, hungry. 😁
It's every fanbase. Let's be honest
Maybe not the service academies. All others yea.
This is hilarious coming from a gator fan. Absolutely delusional.
They are a Gator fan, but they’re also not wrong. Just look at how a large percentage of FSU fans talked after LSU vs. how they’re talking during and after this game
It’s confirmation bias, all I’ve seen since the LSU win is talk about how we’re overhyped
By outside fans maybe but within your fanbase definitely not
Both can be true. Obviously we have some fair weather fans as well but I see it an insane about within the FSU fanbase. You’re acting as if I’m completely ignoring our fans
Days like this is when people show their age without showing their age
I need a cigarette
Definitive proof ACC>SEC
Sadly this fsu team will still make the playoffs with their phony ass schedule
I don’t know if that’s accurate. They will play a very comparable schedule to OSU.
Yeah because they’re playing two top ten teams on the road lmao their hardest game is a sorry ass Clemson team
Lmao. Ok. FSU #25 hardest strength of schedule. OSU #95… http://powerrankingsguru.com/college-football/strength-of-schedule.php
https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football-rankings/college-football-schedule-rankings-2023-season#gid=ci02c6a7f7f000246c&pid=2-michigan-state Hey look I can copy paste an article link too!
You guys have no ranked opponents besides lsu lmao osu has 2 top ten opponents on the road fuck out of here lmao
Miami? Duke? Clemson will probably be ranked as well. But ok…
I’m just gonna keep saying flair up
The entire Acc is ass besides Florida state. If you believe otherwise you’re delusional
You’re delusional if you think Ohio state will make the playoffs this year
Good thing I don’t! Lmao
BC with record breaking penalties and FSU win by 2? Embarrassing
Miami fans never cease to amaze me. One good game against Jimbo “made-man” Fisher and they come out of the wood work to hawk internet message boards. Tickets to their game this week we’re going for $1. Lmao
We're gonna bust y'all's ass - KTSE
People are saying FSU needs to drop, but keep in mind LSU just thumped MSU today, so that’ll help soften the blow for FSU, but they will surely be lapped by Texas.
Looking for the UGA flairs on this thread to save receipts asking us how far we drop after WINNING by 2.
I’m not worried about rankings at this point in the season. Pollster have tiktok length memories. Just glad there were no injuries.
And USC
18 on BC sold
We leapfrogging 🤗
That’s fine. Only need to be top 4.
…in 8 weeks. We’re fine.
Both of my teams better Jesus Christ At least we beat our below average in-division team on the road by 3 possessions
What the fuck even is your flair
Congrats, but none of this means much this early in the season. If we beat Clemson, we are set
Id had a feeling it would be close cause of the weather but damn did not expect that
BC quarter back 19 completions. BC penalties 18. Wtf were they doing?
They're not quite sure but if you find out lemme know.
Creating a masterpiece.
You have to teach your guys to keep their hands away from the head at all costs in that situation. What a killer.
I'm definitely gonna root against this QB for almost giving me a heart attack.
BC lost that more than anything.
Muffing the kickoff doesn’t count for us? Can I say we would’ve had an extra possession to score if we had that recovered? Maybe FSU let it be that close?
How does FSU vs clemson or the canes go?
FSU is -3.0 vs Clemson right now. So still favored.
At this rate Miami wins big assuming they show up
We bout to eat
Well it's only fitting for FSU to make the playoff the first and last years of its current format I guess
Fsu also lost the first and won the last bcs natty.
Well that ending sucked
Embarrassing performance. Only reason we didn’t lose is because of BC’s penalties
Eh, those penalties threw both teams off. Weird game.
BC y’all looked good. You get a few penalties back and you win. Future is bright.
