Mike Norvell discusses Florida State locker room mindset after 0-2 start

The Florida State Seminoles came into the 2024 season with high expectations. However, after dropping their first two games to ACC opponents, head coach Mike Norvell is looking to find a way to quickly turn the season around.

Norvell recently discussed Florida State’s mindset after the 0-2 start and how the locker room is handling the situation.

“Our team, I haven’t felt, seen, heard anything beyond that,” Mike Norvell said. “The guys recognize. They know what good play is. They know times when it’s not just like I know a good play call and I know times when it’s not.”

Florida State opened the season in Week 0 against Georgia Tech in Dublin. That game ended up being a close loss on a field goal as time expired. The Seminoles then returned home for a Week 1 game against Boston College, which the Eagles won by a score of 28-13.

“You sit there and you own the actions that you have,” Norvell said. “You own the performance that you have. Then, you try to figure out why. Why did that occur? Why did I think in this moment this was the best play? Would I do that again? Would I change things up? Same thing with players. If we spend a week working to utilize this technique in this look or this fit or whatever that is, this route depth, why in the moment is it different?”
