"It's amazed me that we've been able to run the numbers we have," coach Bobby Bowden said. "It's amazed me.

Boston College is coming off a 17-0 win over Notre Dame last week. The defense led the way again for the Eagles as they have all year. The defense has 18 interceptions this season. "We come out there every time and our goal is to get a touchdown and a lot of defenses don't have that as their goal," linebacker Mark Herzlich said. "Their goal is to get the ball back to the offense. We take it one step further." Florida State is 4-2 all-time against Boston College including 2-1 at home. Last season the Seminoles won 27-17 at Boston College. "We have a lot of momentum going," Florida State defensive end Everette Brown said.

It's going to be very important that we come out and play our best game."
