The Florida State Seminoles open the season against the take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Sunday. Notre Dame posted a 10-2 record last season and has 10 or more games in each of the last four years. The Florida State Seminoles had another dismal season, finishing 3-6 last season.

The Irish put up 33.4 points and 448.5 yards a game last season. On the defensive end, they gave up 19.7 points and 343.6 yards a game. The Irish will have a new quarterback as Jack Coan takes over the offense. he threw for over 3,000 yards and 23 touchdowns for Wisconsin. Kyren Williams returns to lead the rushing attack after putting up 1,100 yards and 13 touchdowns. They return nine starters from last season including three on offense.

The Seminoles put up 25.8 points and 396.7 yards a game last season. On the defensive side, they allowed 36 points and 456.3 yards a game last season. They will break in a new quarterback as McKenzie Milton, who transferred from Central Florida, will make the start. He has not played the last two years as he was recovering from a very bad knee injury. At UCF, he threw for 8,683 yards with 72 TDs and 22 INTs and he rushed for 1,078 yards and 20 yards. The Seminoles do have one of the better pass rushers in the country in defensive end Jermaine Johnson.

Last year, Notre Dame rushed for 353 yards, with Kyren Williams rushing for 185 yards. He will be facing a Florida State defensive line that ranks 9th in the ACC. The Noles have an improved offense but will be going with a quarterback that hasn't played in two years. Notre Dame's defense should be good this year and will get enough stops to give the Irish the cover.
