TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Charleston Southern is a curiosity this week for thousands of Florida State fans asking, “who are these guys?”
For starters, the lower-division Buccaneers play their home games in a tiny stadium that holds fewer than 4,000 fans – enough to take care of their student body. That’s about one-fifth of the seats likely to be empty Saturday when the FCS school visits the Seminoles’ usually noisy 83,000-seat stadium.
The fifth-ranked Seminoles opened their season with a 34-0 win over Louisiana-Monroe last week while unranked Central Florida whipped Charleston Southern 62-0 in Orlando. The Buccaneers have never won a game over a major college opponent in nine tries.
The matchup is so lopsided that Las Vegas odds makers didn’t even establish a betting line on the game.
