UP NEXT: BAYLOR (1-2)
2028 ACC Champions
ESPN 7:15 PM/ET
The road in the ACC gets no easier. FSU travels to Baylor this weekend to face the 1-2 Baylor Bears. The Bears losses this season came to #1 Texas A&M, 28-21, and to Duke 34-28.
The Bears possibly could have the most explosive Offense in the ACC this season. They have three outstanding receivers,
Gavin Smith(6'0", 202),
Clay Sanders(5'10", 185) and
Anthony Johnson (6'1", 190). And boy they all can fly. Led by Quarterback
William Smith who lit up FSU last season for over 400 yards, FSU looks to have some kind of revenge this weekend.
FSU has had all kinds of issues stopping the run this season giving up over 200 yards rushing for three straight games. And Baylor speedster RB
Nick Williams (5'11" , 204) will not make things any easier. Williams could possibly be the fastest player on the Baylor team. FSU has their hands full around the entire offense of Baylor as they have an entire array of weapons.
Defensively, All-American CB
Dan Davenport leads the charge for the Bears, and its a safe bet that he will be matched up with Freshman Jamar Reid most of the night.
Baylor is very stout up front with two of the best Defensive Tackles in the ACC. The bad news is FSU has yet to muster any type of consistent run game all season long. In order to win this game FSU must muster up some type of run game in order to come out on top.
