Florida State Seminoles interim head coach Rick Stockstill earned a victory in his debut on November 7, 2026, as the team defeated the Boston College Eagles at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.
"It's a very special feeling," Stockstill said after the game, reflecting on his first win at the helm of the program.
The contest marked Stockstill's first appearance as interim leader of the Seminoles, stepping into the role during the 2026 season. Florida State traveled to the East Coast for the matchup against the Atlantic Coast Conference rival Boston College.
Photographs from the game captured Stockstill on the sidelines during the second half at Alumni Stadium, where the Seminoles secured the win in his inaugural outing.
