Overview

• Florida State is 3-2 overall and 0-2 in the ACC after a double-overtime loss at Virginia and a 28-22 home defeat to No. 2 Miami.
• Mike Norvell said the team is disappointed and called for accountability, asking for the program’s best game against Pittsburgh on Saturday at noon on ESPN.
• Norvell defended the Week 1 upset of then-No. 8 Alabama, saying FSU was dominant that day even as Alabama has since improved.
• The recent downturn has been marked by six turnovers and 10 penalties for 94 yards across the two losses, including several at critical moments.
• Despite back-to-back conference losses, FSU remains No. 25 in the AP Top 25 as postseason hopes and Norvell’s job outlook face heightened scrutiny.
