An offense that lacks playmakers has headlined the Seminoles' 2024 season

Florida State lost to Miami by a score of 36-14 on Saturday night, and I am completely disgusted. It is embarrassing with how the program has handled the offensive side of the football. This was supposed to be "an offense built for playmakers."

It has been more like "an offense that lacks playmakers." In all honesty, we probably should have seen it coming with losing the likes of Jordan Travis, Trey Benson, Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson, and Jaheim Bell.

That is a ton of production to lose in one season. However, you are seeing through all of college football where teams are scheming their offenses to fit what they have on the roster. As we know, head football coach Mike Norvell calls the offensive plays.

It seems like Norvell is scheming his offense around last year's roster instead of the team that he has. Fans have been clamoring for a youth movement, but the truth of the matter is that the offense still looks abysmal. They have only scored 21 points in a game ONCE this season.

It has been a revolving door at quarterback, the running game has been atrocious, the wide receivers cannot catch, and the veteran offensive line has regressed severely. Nicely put, this is horrific.

The offense is in a mess where veteran DJ Uiagalelei is out with a potentially season-ending injury (it didn't matter with how bad he was playing) and Norvell is having to trot out redshirt freshman Brock Glenn and true freshman Luke Kromenhoek.

The only offense worse in the country right now, other than Florida State, is Houston. I certainly believe in Mike Norvell and his vision of the program, but this is historically bad, and this could be a fireable offense if it continues to happen in 2025.

I know there are a ton of individuals wanting assistant coaches to be fired right now before the season ends. I do not think that solves anything, as a bunch of graduate assistants would have to take responsibility.

However, Norvell needs to understand that the offense's performance cannot be repeated, which will likely result in him hiring an offensive coordinator to completely change everything. UNLV's Brennan Marion has been a popular name, but I hope that Norvell thinks long and hard about everything because this could be a make-it-or-break-it type of off-season for him.
