There will be quite a bit at stake — just not at the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings — when Florida State and North Carolina State meet Friday night in Raleigh, N.C.Instead, the winner will achieve bowl eligibility with time running out in the season.Florida State (5-5, 2-5), which will finish the regular season at Florida on Nov. 29, is winless in three road games this season.”This year we have not been good enough (in road games),” Seminoles coach Mike Norvell said. “We are looking at every component. There are some modifications that we’re implementing throughout this week and continuing to push so (that) come Friday night on a short week, our best is going to show up.”To complicate matters, Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh generally has been a difficult venue for Florida State.”It’s a hostile place to play,” Norvell said.North Carolina State (5-5, 2-4) has lost three of its last four games, giving up more than 35 points in four consecutive games.”We got all kinds of injuries, and so guys got to duct tape it up and play for each other,” Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said.
