Florida State Coach Mike Norvell Urged to Make Major Change After Disastrous Start

Less than two full weeks into the college football season, Florida State head coach Mike Norvell is already being urged to make a significant change on offense.

The Seminoles suffered a major upset in their season opener in Dublin, with Georgia Tech getting a field goal as time expired to pull off the 24-21 upset. Norvell took the blame for the loss, saying he didn't do enough to prepare the team.

"It's sickening that we came up short and I take total responsibility and ownership for that," Norvell said . "It's my job to have the team prepared to go and play to the best of our ability. I don't believe that was our best."

But the team's struggles continued into the second game, falling behind unranked Boston College 14-6 at halftime of their Monday game. Florida State struggled on offense, with quarterback DJ Uiagalelei completing just 10-of-25 passes for 124 yards and an interception through the first half.

Former NFL quarterback and commentator Dan Orlovsky had seen enough by halftime, calling on Norvell to bench Uiagalelei.

"FSU needs to make a QB change," Orlovsky wrote in a post on X .
