Florida State interim head coach Rick Stockstill addressed the media on Wednesday, ahead of Saturday's noon game against Boston College. He confirmed that star player Duce Robinson will be out for the year due to a knee injury, requiring surgery. Stockstill expressed his heartfelt support for Robinson, praising his character and assured that he would make a full recovery.

The head coach was pleased with the team's response following his appointment, commending their work ethic and leadership. Reflecting on his new role as head coach, Stockstill remarked that it was both surreal and humbling, jokingly stating that he initially doubted being named the Florida State head coach. He described Boston College as a tough opponent known for their physicality and "lunchbox mentality," predicting a "street fight" on Saturday.

Despite the challenge, Stockstill emphasized the importance of relentless effort and passion in securing a victory. He also expressed confidence in Ashton Daniels, urging him not to be overwhelmed with responsibilities and to play "lights out" during the game. Florida State currently stands at 3-5, 1-4 in the ACC, while Boston College has a record of 4-4, 2-3 in the same conference.
