The Florida State Seminoles will take on the FCS Central Arkansas Bears at Doak Campbell Stadium this Saturday after a week that saw them hold a 21-6 lead over the Alabama Crimson Tide, only to choke it away.
Here's what you should know about Central Arkansas, particularly their quarterbacking situation compared to Florida State's.
Central Arkansas: Who is QB Donovyn Omolo?
Head coach Nathan Brown says Omolo is "a resilient competitor," particularly after defeating a ranked UT Martin with a 243-yard performance.
Omolo has been at UCA for only a few months, joining the program this year. Here are his stats to this day:
- Completions/Attempts: 64/100 (64%)
- Yards: 671
- Touchdowns: 6
- Interceptions: 4
- Best Game: 9/12 vs. Central Oklahoma - 133 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
- Record: 2-2
Florida State: How did Ashton Daniels do against Alabama?
FSU fans were hoping Daniels would be their savior against Alabama. Despite a strong opening half performance, they fell down the stretch, 50-36. Daniels had his best game
as a Seminole, throwing for two touchdowns and ran for two. But three interceptions proved costly. Here are his full season stats up to today:
- Completions/Attempts: 46/79 (58.2%)
- Yards: 704
- Passing Touchdowns: 4
- Rushing Touchdowns: 4
- Interceptions: 4
