Live updates: No. 3 Florida State football opens 2023 ACC schedule at Boston College.

FSU's strong start to the season has boosted them to No. 3 in the polls as they face Boston College.

The Florida State Seminoles have had a strong start to their season, with impressive victories over No. 5 LSU and Southern Miss. These wins have propelled them from No. 8 in the preseason polls to No. 3 in both the Associated Press and US LBM Coaches polls. Now, the Seminoles are gearing up for their ACC opener against Boston College.

The game will take place at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, with kickoff at noon on ABC. However, there is a concern that Hurricane Lee may make an unwelcome appearance during the game. Despite this potential challenge, the Seminoles are focused and ready to take on Boston College.

One of the standout players for FSU so far has been Jordan Travis, who is a Heisman Trophy hopeful. Travis has already scored seven touchdowns in the first two weeks of the season. Another player who has made a strong impression is Keon Coleman, who has scored four touchdowns and wowed fans with his highlight reel hurdles.

Fans can follow live updates and coverage of the game on various platforms, including the app formerly known as Twitter. Additionally, reporters Ehsan Kassim and Jack Williams will be providing updates on the game.

As for the weather conditions, there are expected to be strong winds during the game, with gusts potentially reaching up to 38 mph. However, it seems that the wind may not be as much of a factor as initially anticipated. Jordan Travis has been seen practicing his throws and they appear to be unaffected by the wind.

Unfortunately, FSU will be without three starters for the game. Left tackle Robert Scott Jr. and center Maurice Smith will both be absent from the offensive line for the second consecutive game. Safety Akeem Dent is also out due to an injury suffered in the previous game against Southern Miss. However, the team has capable replacements in Darius Washington, Bless Harris, and Kevin Knowles.

In addition to these absences, receiver Ja'Khi Douglas is likely to miss the game due to a shoulder injury. Receiver Kentron Poitier's availability will be a game-time decision. Despite these setbacks, the Seminoles remain confident in their ability to perform well.

In terms of uniforms, FSU will be sporting a new combination for this game. They will be wearing white helmets, garnet jerseys, and white pants. On the other hand, Boston College will be wearing white uniforms with a gold helmet.

Finally, it's worth noting that Hurricane Lee has been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone. However, it still has sustained winds of 80 mph and is expected to maintain hurricane strength as it reaches Nova Scotia. The forecast for Chestnut Hill predicts rain and winds between 14-20 mph, with gusts potentially reaching up to 38 mph.

For those unable to attend the game in person, there are streaming options available, such as ESPN+ and fuboTV, which offers a free trial for potential subscribers.
