Just because Florida State hired a new coach it didn’t mean the program’s problems were all of a sudden going to disappear. And that was very apparent as the Mike Norvell era kicked off with a miserable 16-13 loss to Georgia Tech in Tallahassee.
Saturday’s loss looked a lot like the two openers the Seminoles played under Willie Taggart — ugly losses that FSU fans have tried to forget. It was more of what we’ve come to expect from Florida State in recent years, especially on offense.
There was leaky offensive line play, an inability to establish any semblance of a run game, receivers failing to get much separation and lackluster quarterback play.
