  "account": "Florida State's offensive line faced a setback on Saturday when starting center Bradyn Welch-Joiner left the game with an injury to his right leg in the first half against Boston College. The injury occurred when a Boston College defensive lineman fell onto Welch-Joiner's leg. The scene at Alumni Stadium became somber as both teams and players kneeled in support of the senior offensive lineman. Welch-Joiner was eventually carried off the field and ruled out for the remainder of the contest. For Florida State, the loss of Welch-Joiner is significant, as he has started every game at center this season and serves as a veteran leader of the offense. The transfer from Purdue arrived as a redshirt freshman and earned freshman All-America honors at Auburn before joining FSU. Redshirt freshman Chavez Thompson took over at center after the injury. Despite the setback, FSU remained in a tight game with Boston College, leading 21-17 at halftime. The Seminoles are aiming for their first road win in three seasons under interim coach Rick Stockstill, but the challenge became more difficult without Welch-Joiner anchoring their offensive line.",
