I don't see them with a winning record.

vs Cal: toss-up
@SMU: toss-up
vs. Clemson: loss
@Duke: win
@Miami: loss
vs. UNC: toss-up
@ Notre Dame: loss
vs Charleston: win
vs. Florida: toss-up

3 likely losses, 2 likely wins and 4 toss-ups. 7-5 best case scenario, 2-10 worst case. I personally expect a 3- or 4-win season. When/if they lose to Cal, the players will mentally check out and the wheels will fall off given so many me-guys on the roster.

When you're 0-3 and your QB is struggling to complete a forward pass, everything becomes a toss-up.

I would not be so quick to assume Duke is a win for them, as much as Manny's defense gets dragged around here, he has given Norvell's offenses some problems, and BJ Gungalagunga can't hit passes to exploit it.

Caught this on the comment section of UNLV vs Kansas. The hate FSU gets by other teams fans is so much fun to watch

I thought Atkins is their best recruiter and developer? His '20-'22 guys should be maturing and contributing by now, but most of them are gone.

Wow he missed on a lot of OL. This was a great job of putting this together.

I did not know Dillingham was at FSU or Memphis with Norvell before he went to Oregon

From an article by Ira Schoffel on Warchant:

On DJ: it’s clear after three games this marriage isn’t working. And I’m not putting the blame for that on him; I’m putting it on Norvell. This wasn’t a case of missing an evaluation on a talented young quarterback who had trouble adjusting to the college game. This was a guy who had played 40 games at two different universities. There was film upon film upon film. And yet Norvell apparently decided that he could get more out of him than those previous two schools.

I think Mike Norvell is an excellent offensive coach (despite what things look like this season). But I also believe excellent coaches sometimes believe it’s more about them than the players.

I’m not sure who else Norvell looked at in the transfer portal before bringing Uiagalelei and Ward in for official visits. Maybe Florida State didn’t have a realistic chance at any of the more proven commodities. But if he brought Uiagalelei in believing he was going to transform him into some much different player than he was over the previous four years, then that was a lapse in judgement.

I am bringing the excellent offensive coach into question. Even their last 2 years, their O was predicated on hero ball (with Travis running around and throwing it up Wilson and then Coleman last year) and Benson bailed them out of a few runs.

and then look at this season.

They have ran the ball for 156 yds on the season....The BC game the focus was on a TE who has never shown the ability to be a gamechanger...and they are back to all the procedural penalties that ailed him his first 3 years.
