Here’s a preview capsule via the Associated Press:
Florida State (1-8) at No. 10 Notre Dame (7-1; No. 10 CFP ), Saturday, 7:30 p.m ET (NBC)
BetMGM College Football Odds: Notre Dame by 26 1/2.
Series record: Florida State leads 6-5.
The 10th-ranked Fighting Irish also find themselves No. 10 in the first CFP rankings, giving them a potential lane to the expanded 12-team playoff field. Yes, Notre Dame has rebounded from that early loss to Northern Illinois. But another stumble, especially against the reeling Seminoles, could end those aspirations. Florida State just wants to salvage something positive from this disastrous season and a win at Notre Dame would do the trick.
Notre Dame DB Xavier Watts vs. Florida State WR Ja’Khi Douglas. Watts led the nation with seven interceptions last season and has helped the Irish jump to No. 3 in pass efficiency defense (96.25). Douglas has been a rare bright spot for the Seminoles — 25 catches, 404 yards receiving and three TDs including a 28-yarder on fourth down last week against North Carolina. He’s led Florida State in yards receiving in four games this season.
Florida State: WR Malik Benson. Though little has gone right for this offense, Douglass and Benson, a transfer from Alabama, have demonstrated they have play-making ability. Benson has 23 catches this year including five for 99 yards in Week 3 against Memphis and a 50-yarder last week against the Tar Heels.
Notre Dame: CB Leonard Moore. The freshman has had an impressive first season since breaking into the starting lineup. He recorded seven tackles in each of his first two starts, then snatched his first career interception, one of six takeaways, in Notre Dame’s 51-14 rout over then-No. 24 Navy. It will be interesting to see what he does for an encore following a bye week.
Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard is rushing for 67.4 yards per game and ranks fifth among FBS quarterbacks with 11 TD runs. … Florida State has lost five straight since beating Cal and is 0-4 outside Tallahassee, Florida. … RB Jeremiyah Love has run for at least one TD in all eight games this season.
