Seminole disaster? Winless Florida State trailing FCS Jacksonville State at halftime
By Paul Harvey
Published:
It has not been a great debut for Mike Norvell at Florida State.
The former head coach for Memphis took the head coaching job in Tallahassee this offseason following the firing of Willie Taggart. Taggart finished with a losing record in parts of two seasons after replacing Jimbo Fisher, and the hopes are that Norvell can turn things around for the Seminoles.
Unfortunately, Florida State has started 0-2 with a sloppy loss to Georgia Tech and a blowout loss to in-state rival Miami, but this Saturday’s game may be rock bottom. Heading into halftime, the Seminoles are down to FCS Jacksonville State and plenty of people are taking notice on social media:

I’m not sure I can recall an elite program falling as far as Florida State has. Losing to Jacksonville State 21-7.

Heading into halftime, the score is now 21-14 in favor of Jacksonville State. Will Florida State be able to come back and avoid disaster in the second half, or will we see an 0-3 start for Norvell with the Seminoles?
