Florida State’s 2024 season is a complete disaster.

The No. 10 Seminoles are now 0-2 after a 28-13 home loss to Boston College on Monday. The Eagles ran over and through Florida State’s defense for 268 yards, while Florida State’s offense, under new quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, has been disappointing for the second straight week.

FSU got the ball to start the second half after Boston College built a 14-6 lead. It seemed like a key moment for the Seminoles to drive down the field and close the gap to one or tie.

Instead, Uiagalelei threw a desperate interception on fourth down. The ball was intercepted by Max Tucker and returned to the FSU 7-yard line. Two plays later, Boston College had a 15-point lead.

Florida State showed some life a few minutes later, pulling within eight after a trick play set up a 29-yard TD pass to Kentron Poitier. But the defense continued to be picked apart by Boston College’s run game. The Eagles responded to FSU’s first TD of the night — and the school’s first passing TD since the ill-fated North Alabama game in 2023 — with an eight-play drive that lasted more than four minutes.

The Seminoles couldn’t respond. Uiagalelei hit Poitier for another big gain on FSU’s next drive, but the QB was penalized for intentional grounding on the next play and Florida State ultimately lost the ball on downs.

Things were so bad for Florida State that they went back to Boston College with just over six minutes left, trailing by 15 points. The Seminoles were facing a 4th-and-20 after offensive lineman TJ Ferguson was given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the push, prompting a celebration from Boston College’s Neto Okpala.

Oh, Florida State never got the ball back after the punt either.

What the hell is going on at FSU?

It’s hard to say what’s going right for the Seminoles right now. They were out of shape again Monday night. Uiagaelei was constantly pressured by Boston College. He was inaccurate at times. His receivers dropped catchable passes when he was accurate. The run game was nonexistent. The defensive line was put to work. The linebackers were in a blender. The Seminoles committed seven penalties to Boston College’s one. The list goes on.

It was easy to dismiss Georgia Tech’s Week 0 loss in Dublin as an aberration. Teams with a lot of new faces can struggle in their first game of the season, and long travel can cause chaos. But many of the themes that blossomed against the Yellow Jackets remained with them against Boston College. Florida State is a deeply flawed football team right now.

The nice thing about the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff is that it would give teams that started poorly to the season a chance to play for the national title if they improved as the season went on. But this is no ordinary 0-2 start. Florida State is the fourth team in the past decade to start the season 0-2 after being ranked in the top 10 of the preseason AP Top 25. And both of those losses are conference losses.

For most teams, an 0-2 start doesn’t have much of an impact on the conference race. Thanks to a unique schedule, Florida State now has to make up ground against the other 17 teams in the ACC to simply reach the conference title game and have a shot at the playoffs.

Do you trust Florida State to do that now? We certainly don’t. And we’re one of many who had FSU as the preseason ACC champion and one of the teams in the 12-team postseason.

What a start for Bill O’Brien at Boston College

Boston College already has one major win in the Bill O’Brien era. The former Houston Texans head coach and Alabama offensive coordinator was hired as Eagles coach earlier this year after Jeff Hafley left to become defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers.

O’Brien was in the bag early against the Seminoles as BC gained chunks of yardage on creative play calls. But the most obvious way the Eagles beat Florida State was on the offensive and defensive lines.

“We won the game by having a good line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball,” O’Brien said after the game on SportsCenter.

The line play is a big plus for a Boston College team looking for its first eight-win season since 2009. The Eagles were seeded in the bottom half of the ACC entering the season and play No. 11 Missouri and Michigan State in Weeks 3 and 4 after a game against FCS opponent Duquesne on Saturday. Given what we saw Monday night, don’t be surprised to see Boston College hang with Missouri for a while and beat Michigan State.
