As a Florida State fan, this game against Pittsburgh feels like it might be do-or-die for Mike Norvell with the FSU fan base.
The Noles enter the game as -10.5 betting favorites at home, facing a Pitt team that has one win over a Power Four program all season. A loss here, with Pittsburgh starting a freshman quarterback on the road for his second career start, would send this fan base into a downward spiral at warp speed.
A win would appease the fanbase to a degree and keep all the preseason expectations within reach, like winning eight games.
