Florida State is not having the typical year that we're used to seeing and it's brought about rumors that Bobby Bowden could be asked to step down at the end of this season.
The Seminoles will host 23rd ranked Georgia Tech this weekend and while Florida State hasn't been the best team this year, they do own a 54-28 win over then seventh ranked BYU, on the road no less.
Since then, two straight losses to South Florida and Boston College have derailed the progress that might have come from that game.
But, comparing both Florida State and Georgia Tech, both teams are surprisingly almost evenly matched.
While Florida State is averaging 27 points per game, Georgia Tech isn't that much better at 30 points per game. Both teams are close in total yards per game. Georgia Tech is second in the ACC with 405.6 yards per game, Florida State is third averaging 403.4 yards per game.
Where Georgia Tech is going to create a problem for the Seminoles will be their running game, averaging 252.2 rushing yards per game against a defense that's giving up almost 130 yards per game on the ground.
If Florida State can slow Georgia Tech's running game and force them into the pass a little more, it could work in their favor against a team that's second to last in the ACC in passing offense (153.4 ypg).
