TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Treshaun Ward totaled 138 offensive yards, including a 13-yard touchdown reception, against his former team as Boston College upset No. 10 Florida State 28-13 on Monday night.

Ward, a Tampa native who played for Florida State from 2019-2022, had 77 rushing yards and 61 receiving yards as the Eagles (1-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) totaled 263 rushing yards.

It was a convincing debut for BC coach Bill O’Brien, who was hired in mid-February after Jeff Hafley left to become defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers.

The Eagles offense produced touchdown drives of 71 yards, 68 yards and 60 yards, while also taking advantage of a short field after intercepting DJ Uiagalelei and quickly scoring a touchdown.

Uiagalelei completed 21 of 42 passes for 272 yards and a 29-yard touchdown pass to Kentron Poitier in the third quarter, cutting BC’s lead to 21-13.

Florida State, seen as a contender for a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff, fell 0-2 for the first time since 2021.

TO TAKE OFF

Boston College: Thomas Castellanos nearly pulled off an upset win over Florida State in 2023, and he did it Monday. The BC quarterback completed 10 of 16 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns, along with 73 yards rushing.

Florida State: A strength entering the season has instead proven to be a weakness. The Seminoles managed just 21 yards rushing on 16 carries.
