The Irish's quarterback remains a mystery after Andrew Hendrix replaced Tommy Rees in their regular-season finale at Stanford. Florida State has won four of six meetings with Notre Dame and is making its third appearance in the Champs Sports Bowl. The last game played between these two teams, however, was in 2003. The Seminoles boast the nation's No. 4 scoring defense. The FSU offense is only averaging 375.8 YPG this year, however.
Notre Dame has won four of their last six and eight of their last ten games while FSU has managed to win six of their last seven after dropping three straight games.
These numbers may be a bit deceptive as Adam Markowitz of DonBest.com notes.
“Florida State has had some major offensive issues in the final three games of the season. The Seminoles just barely put aside the Miami Hurricanes 23-19 at home on November 12, lost to the Virginia Cavaliers as 17-point favorites in the team's final home game 14-13, and then had almost as many penalty yards as offensive yards against the Florida Gators in a 21-7 triumph.”
And Notre Dame, they might have been in the BCS if not for that loss to the Cardinal their final week.
