If you missed it: Florida State beat Boston College 31-24 on Saturday in Rick Stockstill's debut as interim coach. It was the Seminoles' first road win in 1,078 days. Amari Thomas ran for two touchdowns, including an 11-yard score with 2:29 left that put FSU ahead after a 24-24 tie.

FSU started slowly. Ashton Daniels completed none of his first three passes, and Boston College led 10-0. Daniels then ran in a 4-yard touchdown, and kicker Gabe Panikowski scored on a 1-yard run off a fake field goal with 51 seconds left in the first half. Yes, the kicker. The winning drive covered 90 yards in 14 plays.

That win came over Florida on Nov. 25, 2023. Saturday also ended a 12-game road losing streak.
