Both teams have had their fair share of ups and downs in the previous games, but the Seminoles seem to have found their stride. Led by their standout quarterback, Deondre Francois, they have shown great potential on offense. In their last three games, Francois has thrown for an average of 320 yards per game with a completion percentage of 67.4 percent. He has also thrown three touchdowns and zero interceptions.


But it's not just Francois who has been performing well for the Seminoles. Running back Cam Akers has been a force to be reckoned with on the ground, averaging 5.4 yards per carry and accumulating a total of 76 rushing yards in the last three games. His ability to break tackles and find open lanes has been crucial for the Seminoles' success.


On the defensive side of the ball, Brian Burns has been a standout player for Florida State. The defensive end has recorded one sack and two tackles for loss in the last three games. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses and put pressure on quarterbacks will be key against Syracuse.


However, it won't be an easy task for Florida State as they face off against a talented Syracuse team led by quarterback Eric Dungey. Dungey has been impressive this season, throwing for an average of 218 yards per game with a completion percentage of 71.9 percent. He has also thrown five touchdowns and only one interception.


Dungey's favorite target has been wide receiver Jamal Custis, who has caught six passes for 65 yards and one touchdown in the last three games. Custis' ability to create separation and make tough catches will be a challenge for the Seminoles' secondary.


In the running game, Syracuse relies on running back Jarveon Howard, who has rushed for an average of 38 yards per game and scored two touchdowns in the last three games. His ability to find holes in the defense and break tackles will be crucial against a strong Florida State front seven.


Overall, this game promises to be an exciting matchup between two talented teams. The Seminoles will look to continue their winning streak behind the stellar play of Deondre Francois and Cam Akers, while Syracuse will rely on Eric Dungey and Jamal Custis to lead them to victory.
