Florida State football coach Mike Norvell is trying to hold his team together.
“You’ve got a football team that nobody envisioned ever being where we are and having disappointment, having failure, but I do believe in what this team can do,” Norvell said. “I believe in what this team can accomplish.
“There’s going to be plenty of negativity around this program. I understand that. When we perform the way we just did, that’s all part of it. But for our football team, you’ve got to stay together, and you’ve got to make sure that you’re there for each other. We’ve been knocked down. We know how to get up, but we’ve got to go do that. It’s one thing to talk about it. It’s another thing to put into action and then to be able to perform in the moment.”
The Seminoles are now 0-2 on the season, after dropping games to Boston College and Georgia Tech. Florida State football is almost guaranteed to miss out on the ACC championship and College Football Playoff, following Monday’s loss to the Eagles.

Florida State football is in a free fall after starting the 2023 season 13-0. The Seminoles were snubbed out of the CFP, and that enraged Norvell and Florida political officials. Florida State lashed out against the decision to leave the team out of the CFP.
Since that happened, nothing has gone right for the football program. The Seminoles lost by 60 in the Orange Bowl to Georgia. Then Florida State football opened the 2024 season with an upset loss to Georgia Tech in Ireland. Now, the Seminoles lost again to a rebuilding Boston College football team under Bill O’Brien.
