Florida State's Jimbo Fisher: 'This ain't the ACC of 20 years ago'

Posted Oct 21, 2017
ACC football has come a long way since Florida State joined the conference in 1992. The league’s strength was on display over the weekend, as Syracuse upset No. 2 Clemson 27-24 Friday and Boston College held off Louisville and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson, 45-42. While FSU has not been mathematically eliminated in the ACC Atlantic Division, the team has an uphill climb. (Tallahassee Democrat)
