3. What’s next for these teams?

For Florida State, they head home to welcome in a red hot North Carolina offense. Keeping up with a polished passer is going to be an uphill battle for the Seminoles. Keep an eye out for the starting quarterback next week, as Jordan Travis may have injured his hand late in the game.

Notre Dame will continue to march through the ACC with a date against Louisville at home. Thanks to the postponement against Georgia Tech, the Irish will have 4 home games to start this season.

Great for now, but they will finish the season playing 5-of-7 games on the road. They also play a three-game stretch against No. 1 Clemson, upstart Boston College and No. 8 North Carolina.

Notre Dame has played very well in 2020, but we will have to see if they can handle playing away from South Bend for a long stretch. We will also see if they can handle a huge jump in quarterback talent with Sam Howell and Trevor Lawrence waiting in the wings.
