The 2021 FSU football season was difficult to watch, and the tale of two halves. The Noles did no favors digging themselves into an 0-4 start to the season, but the response was everything you could hope for in a program looking to turn things around.

We had seen the team fold during games after the first taste of adversity in the past few years. An 0-4 start was ripe for a struggling team with a lot of transfer portal players to quit.

However, the players continued to believe in Mike Norvell’s vision, and they managed to finish 5-3 in the remaining eight games and had opportunities to win all three games they lost.

They finally looked like a competent team on a consistent basis. Aside from talent and depth issues, there were still flaws that need correction for the team to take the next step.

They have completed one week of fall camp, and Mike Norvell seems pleased with the team’s progress. There is growing confidence as narratives at different positions continues to develop.

The LSU game early in the season will tell us several things about this team. Here are the top five biggest concerns going into 2022.
