FSU football isn’t done with their 2020 season after all.

FSU football had to postpone their game against Virginia last week, and the ACC scheduled Duke to take on Miami Saturday when it was supposed to be FSU traveling to Duke.

Clemson and Virginia didn’t want to reschedule, so it looked as though the season was all but over on Sunday.

However, Mike Norvell mentioned the Noles were looking to play a game on December 12 when speaking on his weekly show ‘Inside Seminole Football with Mike Norvell’ Monday night.

Tuesday, the ACC Conference announced the Noles would have two games put back on their schedule.

They’ll host Duke on December 12 and travel to Wake Forest on December 19. I know some FSU football fans wanted to accept the season was over, not to mention all of the negativity of Luke Altmyer de-committing and La’Damian Webb opting out for the season.

It seemed as though not playing any more games and trying to sweep everything under the rug was the best course of action.

That’s not the case, it’s incredibly important for the team to play these two games. Here’s a different perspective on why that’s the case.
