Preview: Savannah State Tigers at No. 6 Florida State Seminoles

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Savannah State (0-1, 0-0 MEAC) at No. 6 Florida State (1-0, 0-0 ACC)

Kickoff: Saturday, 6 p.m. ET (ESPN3)

Spread: No line

Watchability: Oklahoma State beat Savannah State 84-0 last week, and Florida State beat Murray State, a team that received votes in the preseason FCS top 25 polls, 69-3. It's tough to come up with a compelling reason to tune into this one.

Shining Stars: Florida State: Defensive end Bjoern Werner had four sacks against Murray State last week. He could have another field day Saturday. Werner will be playing without fellow end Brandon Jenkins who is out for the year with a foot injury. Savannah State: Tight end Kris Drummond was named to the preseason all-conference second team. Drummond had just one catch for five yards against Oklahoma State. Cornerback John Wilson intercepted a pass last week.

Who could steal the show: Florida State: At 6-2, 226 pounds, running back James Wilder, Jr. is a load to tackle. He had 12 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns against Murray State. Savannah State: Running back Alex Simmons came off the bench last week to rush for 40 yards on nine carries against Oklahoma State.
