FSU football will look to earn its first official win in the Mike Norvell era. Here are three reasons why it’ll happen against Georgia Tech.

The first step to FSU football beginning its rise back to prominence begins Saturday afternoon against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

The Noles are still double-digit betting favorites with 70 percent of the bets on the Noles to cover the spread.
