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.
