Florida State vs. Boston College 2017 live stream: How to watch ESPN's Friday night game online
Florida State and Boston College will clash on Friday Night in Massachusetts.
The Florida State Seminoles and Boston College Eagles will pack into the BC Alumni Stadium to clash in an ACC Atlantic division matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, and ESPN (livestream) will broadcast the action.
The Seminoles have been struggling to stay healthy this season, as this program already lost star players like starting quarterback Deondre Francois and receiver George Campbell to season-ending injuries. To make matters worse, Florida State already lost to divisional foes like Louisville and North Carolina State.
Boston College, on the other hand, is on a two-game winning streak. Indeed, this is an important game for Boston College's players, but this matchup is significant for head coach Steve Addazio, too. Addazio is in his fifth season as Boston College's head coach, and he's never knocked off Florida State. He's come close at times but couldn't seal the deal. This could be the game where he does.
