**What to Watch For:**
- **Tommy Touchdowns in Action:** With Bill O’Brien now at the helm, Thomas Castellanos will be the key player for Boston College. After a full offseason as the starting quarterback, Castellanos is expected to make a significant impact. His performance in the passing game will be crucial for opening up space for BC’s potent running attack.
- **DJU’s Performance:** Florida State’s offense returns only four starters from last season, and new quarterback DJ Uiagalelei struggled in his debut, throwing for 193 yards, rushing for 7, and failing to score a touchdown. With BC’s defense facing uncertainties, especially in the secondary, it remains to be seen if they can contain Uiagalelei’s performance.
- **BC’s Defensive Line:** Florida State’s strongest offensive asset has been their run game. Despite having talented players like Donovan Ezeiruaku, BC’s defensive line underperformed last season. A significant improvement is needed in 2024 for the Eagles to apply effective pressure on opposing offenses.
