Is there even going to be an impact for the Seminoles versus Notre Dame?

I hate to even do this because Florida State needs to score touchdowns to have a chance in this game. However, I realize the shortcomings that are coming on Saturday afternoon.

Fans were frustrated in the past because Norvell does not utilize Fitzgerald when they get in field goal range. The Seminoles barely average 14 points per game. They needed to take all of the points that they could get. However, they went for it on fourth down and long to try and keep the drive alive.

Fitzgerald had a memorable 2024 campaign so far where he made all ten of his field goal attempts, with the longest try being a 59-yarder. The special teams have been impressive for the Seminoles, where he and punter Alex Mastromanno have created magical moments.

I want Fitzgerald to go out on top during his senior season, even in a game in South Bend that could go sideways. #InFitzWeTrust
