Florida State skid continues, Seminoles suffer crushing loss at Boston College
FSU is unfamiliar territory, off to a 2-5 start for the first time since Bobby Bowden's first season of his legendary coaching career with the Seminoles in 1976. Well, it could be argued that the Seminoles never showed up at all mentally for this game, which if it had been played at home Doak Campbell Stadium, where they are off to their worst start in more than 40 years, would have probably prompted a cascade of boos for FSU.

Pulis: Manchester City Are The Best Team
Kevin De Bruyne has played 24 key passes in the Premier League this season . There is no catch-all solution but deploying three centre-halves, wing-backs and three athletic midfielders, or a compact 4-5-1 system that also seeks to consistently reduce the space between the lines and force City around you, is one way of limiting their ability to get the ball into those little pockets off the front.
