A win for Florida State would push their record over .500, and after one quarter of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead N. Kentucky 43-31.

If Florida State keeps playing like this they'll be starting off their season with a 'W'. On the other hand, N. Kentucky will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).
