Florida State football will play on Labor Day weekend for the fourth consecutive season.
It will also be its home opener during the prime-time game at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN at Doak Campbell Stadium Sept. 2.
It is a new era for Boston College.
Bill O’Brien is a college football head coach again after one season as an offensive coordinator and quarterback coach for the New England Patriots.
Before that, he served the same role under Nick Saban in Alabama.
With his college and pro coaching experience, Boston College could likely be a better team than the last meeting with FSU.
Boston College went 7-6 last season but ended the year losing three of the last four games, leading to Jeff Hafley’s departure.
Who is Boston College’s head coach

O’Brien was hired on Feb. 9. He is BC’s 37th head coach in program history. It is the first time since 2012 that O’Brien has returned to the college head coaching ranks.
O’Brien is no stranger to building a winning team right away. He led the Nittany Lions to an eight-win season in his first season at Penn State.
He was 15-9 during his tenure before taking an NFL head coaching job for the Houston Texans in 2014, which lasted for six seasons.
He became Alabama’s offensive coordinator and QB coach for the 2021 and 2022 seasons and one year for the Patriots last year.
