If you're watching today, Florida State (3-5, 1-4 ACC) kicks off at noon at Boston College (4-4, 2-3 ACC) in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. It's Rick Stockstill's first game since FSU fired Mike Norvell on Sunday, the day after a 36-24 loss to Clemson.

Stockstill, who played quarterback at FSU from 1977-81, met reporters Monday and said of the program: "It's not broke, we got some dents in it we gotta get fixed." He's promised "subtle changes", not wholesale ones, with four games left.

  • Play-caller: Tim Harris Jr., not the head coach
  • Interim defensive coordinator: Ernie Sims
  • Kicker Gabe Panikowski: 22-for-22 on career field goals
  • Out for the season: receiver Duce Robinson, torn ACL
