Here’s a quick preview of Florida State’s game against South Carolina in the Chick-fil-A Bowl:
WHO TO WATCH: FSU’s quarterbacks. If Christian Ponder is the starter, it will be interesting to see how he plays after a lengthy layoff that included missing the ACC championship game and surgery because of his elbow injury. If EJ Manuel is the starter, he already has a Gator Bowl MVP performance to build on. Ponder is more accurate and obviously has a better grasp on the offense because of his experience, but regardless of who is under center, the Seminoles should find some success against a secondary that ranks No. 107 in the country in pass defense.
WHAT TO WATCH: FSU’s defense on third downs. Virginia Tech was successful on 13 of 18 third-down conversions against FSU in the ACC title game, and the Seminoles will have to do much better than that against a team that features standout playmakers Alshon Jeffery and Marcus Lattimore. They’ll take advantage of every mistake.
