Why Florida has you covered
Florida State replaced its top quarterback, wide receiver and running back from last year's team, but has a talented roster again this season. DJ Uiagalelei, a graduate transfer from Oregon State, will take over as the starting quarterback and is one of the most experienced playmakers in the country. He has played in 48 college football games, starting 40 of them, and compiled a 30-10 record with over 8,000 passing yards and 57 touchdowns in four seasons.
Georgia Tech had the worst defense in the conference last year, so it will be tough for the Yellow Jackets to stop Florida State. Their offense returns several key players, but they will face a talented Florida State defense in their season opener. The Yellow Jackets are 1-5 in their last six season opens, but the Seminoles have won 12 straight games against ACC opponents. Find out which team to pick here.
