TRUST IS EARNED, NOT EXPECTED

Florida State football was awful in 2024, where they limped to the finish line with a 2-10 record. Head football coach Mike Norvell was left speechless with what transpired just one calendar year from being snubbed from the College Football Playoff.

It was something that the fan base had to turn the page and forget about. There were instances where Coach Norvell felt confident in the team, where they thought they would be able to run the football, Darius Washington is an All-American candidate, and this was one of the fastest teams that he has coached.

Not to mention, the outside noise became strong with legendary head football coach Nick Saban calling the Seminoles' defensive line one of the best in college football. It was all a disaster, and it pains me to watch the 2024 season over again.

Coach Norvell re-evaluated everything from a season ago, and one of the biggest changes in the offseason was overhauling the offense to make it presentable. I wanted to discuss why I believe that individuals should trust the Seminoles' rushing attack during the 2025 season. If you prefer video form, I made a YouTube video discussing my reasoning, as well. You can click here to view.
