FSU FOOTBALL FALL CAMP

The offseason can define a team's success during the year. It is those hot, summer practices that can drive you to be your best or show the true colors. The Seminoles are four weeks away from their season opener versus Alabama, so it is now or never.

Head football coach Mike Norvell knew that last season didn't meet the expectations of this proud program that is used to competing for conference and national championships. The Seminoles went 2-10 in 2024, which I never thought was possible.

Florida State decided to add several players via the transfer portal and recruiting ranks, as well as acquiring coaches to its staff that can maintain stability for a program starving for success after the down year.

This can be scary since the Seminoles have so many unknowns for fall camp. How can Florida State football make its haters look like idiots?
