So here we are, since the moment FSU was snubbed for the CFP at 13-0, they’ve gone 7-17 (3-13), with no bowls, and a 0-6 record against rivals Florida, Miami, and Clemson. Their ACC record is a conference worst. The program is a corpse, and everybody knows it. They just lost by 40-21 to a …

Well, Mike Norvell and FSU lost another game. The Noles stand 5-6 (2-6) after an ugly 21-11 loss at NC State. Twice in the 4th quarter, when the score was 14-11, Florida State failed to field punts, where NC State recovered both. To make matters worse FSU missed a FG in the 4th quarter. As …
