Things haven’t gone as planned for second-year coach Mike Norvell, who’s seen the Seminoles off to their worst start since 1976 after dropping their first three games. Beating the Cardinals, coming off a win over UCF last Friday, could turn things in the right direction.
To do so, FSU must eliminate self-inflicted wounds like turnovers and penalties while kick-starting an offense that is near the bottom of the ACC.
Quick slant: This is the 21st meeting with FSU holding a 16-5 advantage. Louisville has won three of the last five games, including a 48-16 win at Cardinal Stadium on Oct.
