--- And Florida State goes 5 and out on the final series of the game. Thanks to two offensive penalties. Thatll do it. Boise State just has to run out the clock and the game will be over.
Boise State, Florida State 31 FINAL
-- Boise settles for a FG after getting a TD wiped off the board of OPI. Seminoles still in this thing, but offense has to do something. Now.
Boise State 36, Florida State 31 7:27 4th Qtr
--- FSU offense has looked a whole lot like the 2018 one here in the second half. Just two first downs. And a huge fumble by Akers on what could have been a back-breaking drive. Inside Boise territory he fumbled on a first-down run. Boise goes right down the field and scores. Now we've really got a game with 2:50 left in the third quarter.
Florida State 31, Boise State 26 2:50 3rd Qtr
—- Noles catch a break when Boise has TD wiped out because receiver was out of bounds before coming back in. Settle for another FG. It’s hot outside and this place has really emptied out.
Florida State 31, Boise State 19 HALFTIME
--- Boise won't go away. The Broncos make another long drive that fizzles near the FSU red zone. But Sachse drills his third FG of the half. Boise State has 19 first downs in the first half. That's a lot.
Florida State 31, Boise State 16 2:51 2nd Qtr
—- Two plays, 75 yards. Helton with a 58-yard TD on beautifully thrown ball by Blackman. Man. Lightning strikes.
Florida State 31, Boise State 13 4:07 2nd Qtr
—- Felt like FSU had a chance to put this one away after a Bolden INT. Cam Akers then busted another 30-yard run to get into Boise territory. But Blackman was sacked and fumbled and Boise returned it to the FSU 40. Broncos then scored on a 1-yard TD run.
Florida State 24, Boise State 13 5:00 2nd Qtr
--- Finally FSU doesn't score a touchdown. Only a FG. After a long pass to Warren Thompson all the way down to the 1. But a couple of bad snaps, one that went 20 yards pass Blackman results in Aguayo connecting on a 46-yard attempt.
Florida State 24, Boise State 6 10:53 2nd Qtr
--- Three drives, three touchdowns for the Noles. 10 plays, 75 yards on that march. Blackman completed every pass he threw, including a 5-yard TD to Gabe Nabers. Blackman now 7 of 8 for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Akers has 4 carries for 52 yards.
Florida State 21, Boise State 6 1:05 1st Qtr
--- Another long drive by Boise. Again it ends in a FG. FSU had a chance to get off the field on a 3-and-out but it looked like Levonta Taylor took a bad angle on a deep pass down the sideline and Boise completed a 40-yard pass. He then came out of the game and got talked to by Taggart. FSU rallied back, though, got pressure on the Boise QB and held them to another FG. Boise has now run 29 plays from scrimmage. FSU has run 5.
Florida State 14, Boise State 6 3:47 1st Qtr
--- And Tamorrion Terry takes a quick spring pass, gets a nice block by McKitty and sprints down the sideline for a 75-yard touchdown. Dude is something else. Anywho, FSU now leads 14-3 and has had the ball for less than a minute total.
Florida State 14, Boise State 3 7:42 1st Qtr
--- Boise marches 56 yards but has to settle for a 36-yard FG. FSU defense getting gashed by the run so far. But Amari Gainer had two nice plays back to back, first in coverage on the TE and then on a blitz where he rocked the freshman QB.
Florida State 7, Boise State 3 7:49 1st Qtr
--- On Fourth-and-1 from the Boise 38, Akers hits the hole, breaks a tackle and races into the end zone for a 38-yard TD run.
Florida State 7, Boise State 0 12:28 1st Qtr
--- Boise State goes about 35 yards in 5 plays, but Nasrildeen forces a fumble and Robinson recovers and returns it to the Boise 47. Big play early for the FSU defense.
Boise State wins the toss. Elects to receive. Osceola and Renegade crushed that spear-planting. Best one in years!
11:50 a.m. -- Crowd is pretty solid all things considered. They had sold about 34K earlier today, but that didn't include students and the walk-up crowd. So probably will be about 50K.
11:42 a.m. -- Defensive captain Marvin Wilson is the guy in the middle breaking down the FSU squad before they go into the locker room for final talk. Kickoff in about 20 minutes.
11:40 a.m. -- Some choice words being exchanged during pregame between a few FSU and Boise players. Looked like Cory Durden and Boise star Curtis Weaver had some things to say to each other.
11:30 a.m. - Dontae Lucas announced during pregame introductions as the starter at guard. Working with the 1s in pregame, too. James Blackman seemed to get the loudest ovation during introductions. Not a surprise.
11:10 a.m. - Quarterbacks, centers and receivers are now out on the field. Blackman is working with Baveon and Hornibrook is working with Boselli. So, obviously, no surprises. Also, Ricky Aguayo and the kickers were out warming up as well. Aguayo made two straight from 53 yards out. With about five yards to spare.
10:45 a.m. -- Freshman DL Curtis Fann has his arm in a sling. Think he's been out for a little while.
10:38 a.m. -- Travis Jay is wearing sweats in pregame. Doesn't appear to be available today. Checking on his status.
10:30 a.m. -- There's a group of about 20 FSU players going through light stretching and catching passes, etc. Same for Boise State. ...
One note from pregame ... On the media flipcard, it shows that TEs coach Telly Lockette will be the assistant in the press box. All of the other assistants will be on the field. So I'm guessing defensive analysts/GAs will be the ones sharing info with Barnett for the defense.
