FSU football: 3 huge reasons FSU poised to stay among top national programs
FSU football has gone 23-4 over the past two seasons and projects to win at least nine games in 2024, not including a bowl game. Many pundits counted FSU out when Willie Taggart got fired, and Mike Norvell had a horrific start during the 2020 COVID season. I've always maintained things wouldn't have gotten as bad as they had if the pandemic hadn't interfered with Mike Norvell's first offseason (they only had three spring practices in 2022) of implementing and installing their schemes, plus the summer months of strength and conditioning. That was valuable developmental time lost, and the coaches went into that season flying by the seat of their pants because of it. The pandemic still had its effects going into the 2021 season, and it wasn't until the last 5-6 games in 2021 that we saw what FSU was becoming as a program.
