How long will it take FSU to return its winning ways? If history is any guide, maybe not that long.

FSU's disappointing 2020 season brings a sense of Déjà vu to any fan who remembers the 1970s. While Mike Norvell's first year produced only three wins, the Seminoles went 0 - 11 in the nightmare season of 1973.

How did Florida State's program rise from the ashes to earn 14 Top 5 finishes? Mike Schumann knows firsthand. He was a Nole wide receiver in that winless '73 season, and later on Bobby Bowden's 1977 team that turned it all around, going 10 and 2, including a Tangerine Bowl victory. In this episode, Mike talks about the similarities between then and now, including coaching changes and division among players — and what it took to make the transformation.
