Overview
- Florida State fell 21-11 in Raleigh after a fourth quarter unraveling that included four turnovers, eight penalties, and two muffed punts.
- NC State’s second-chance possession from a muff set up the clinching touchdown inside two minutes, and an earlier muff was recovered by the Wolfpack punter.
- The Seminoles are 5-6 overall and 2-6 in the ACC, turning next week’s trip to Florida into a must-win for bowl eligibility.
- Since the 2023 ACC title run, FSU is 7-16 overall and 3-13 in league play with no conference road victories in that span.
- Norvell’s deal runs through 2031 with a buyout reported to exceed $53 million, even as fans flood social media calling for his firing after the NC State loss.
