Breath of Fresh Air

FSU football fans have already checked out with DJ Uiagalelei. Some fans were willing to give him another shot after the Georgia Tech game. Mike Norvell didn't call a great game, and the offense only had seven possessions. However, the offense only having six plays in the first quarter against Boston College and not achieving a first down until the second quarter was awful. The missed throws to wide-open receivers were BAD.

This missed throw was the straw that broke the camel's back. There is a great pocket to throw from, and he isn't anywhere close to Darion Williamson. A touchdown makes it 14-10, and FSU receives the ball first in the second half with a chance to take the lead. The fact FSU has only thrown one touchdown pass in two games, and it took a Herculean effort from Kentron Poitier to make that happen. If Mike Norvell wants to continue to lose all the good faith he's built up over the past 2.5 years, continue sending DJ Uiagalelei out there as the starter. If so, Doak Campbell Stadium will have even less folks in the stands moving forward and folks may start to pull their support financially.
