While Notre Dame has managed to stay unbeaten in the ACC, this is a big step up trying to go on the road to beat the Seminoles. Especially with FSU coming off a loss. Florida State should be plenty motivated for tonight’s game and continue to be an offensive juggernaut at home against a respectable ND defense. I don’t see the Irish having the offense to keep pace with FSU tonight.
