  "account": "On Saturday, Florida State secured a 31-24 victory over Boston College, but the triumph was marred by several subpar performances, as highlighted by Pro Football Focus (PFF). Four of the Seminoles' five lowest PFF grades originated on offense, involving two tight ends and a reserve offensive tackle. In contrast, defensive tackle Daniel Lyons emerged as the sole defensive player on the list. Here are the Seminoles' five lowest-graded players from the contest:\n\n5. Chase Loftin - 54.8: Loftin recorded the lowest PFF grade of 54.8 after participating in 20 snaps. His receiving grade of 52.5 contributed to his overall score, while his pass blocking grade of 71.3 was notably stronger.\n\n4. Landen Thomas - 53.6: Thomas appeared in 41 offensive snaps and faced challenges as a receiver, culminating in a 38.6 receiving grade. His run-blocking grade of 76.9 was one of the most commendable individual performances for FSU that day.\n\n3. Chimdia Nwaiwu - 52.7: Nwaiwu saw action on just eight offensive snaps at right tackle, resulting in a small-sample result. His pass-blocking grade of 74.8 balanced out his 49.3 run-blocking grade, which dragged down his overall score.\n\n2. Daniel Lyons - 51.3: Lyons logged 54 defensive snaps, including 30 as a pass rusher. Although his run-defense grade of 48.0 lowered his overall score, he managed to generate two pressures and two hurries.\n\n1. Desirrio Riles - 49.0: Riles received FSU's lowest overall grade of 49.0 after playing 38 offensive snaps. The tight end posted a receiving grade of 40.6, but his run-blocking grade of 64.4 was considerably better. He was also penalized once during the game.",
