The Florida State Seminoles have struggled in the Willie Taggart era, but the one positive is the fact that they rank in the top 10 on the offensive side of the ball. The Florida State Seminoles are more talented than the Virginia Cavaliers as they have 4 and 5 stars across the board, and their offensive scheme seems to fit them, especially Cam Akers who has run crazy for the Noles. Virginia was concerning on the offensive side of the ball against William & Mary as Bryce Perkins did throw 2 interceptions which could give the struggling Florida State defense some confidence heading into this game. Taggart can change around his image to the once thriving college football program with a win here, and he will have the Seminoles ready to fight. Final Score Prediction, Virginia Cavaliers win but fail to cover ATS 28-24.
