They’re Better Than Their Record: 5th Ranked Tar Heels Aren’t Sleeping on Florida State

North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell (7) looks for a receiver in the fourth quarter against Virginia Tech on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. Howell passed for 257 yards and three touchdowns.

The last couple of years haven’t been kind to Florida State. Once a dominant force in the ACC and college football, the Seminoles haven’t had a winning season since 2017 and have stumbled out to a 1-3 start this year with losses to Georgia Tech, Miami and Notre Dame. But none of that means anything to the 5th ranked Tar Heels – who travel to Tallahassee to this Saturday. They’re not sleeping on a Florida State team they say is better than their record reflects.

“They’re a really good team,” Sam Howell said. “Their record doesn’t really show how good they are. They’re very talented. I think this is the most talented team we’ve played so far. It’s a great matchup for us and we’ve got to be prepared.”

Saturday marks the third successive meeting between the two schools in Tallahassee, Fla. The previous two outcomes have been identical 37-35 Tar Heel victories in 2010 and most recently in 2016.
