FSU football: 3 reasons Noles have great chance to beat California Bears
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU football cans counted the California Bears coming to Tallahassee in week four as a win before the season started. However, the Bears come into the week 3-0 and FSU 0-3, looking to avoid the second 0-4 start in the Mike Norvell era.
The biggest issue in all three games has been a severe lack of offense. The defense has played well enough for FSU to be 2-1 and potentially 3-0. They have flaws but seem to be getting its act together, unlike the FSU offense.
I wrote about what the California Bears bring to the table in this matchup. They are 3-0, but haven't beaten anyone of note except a bad Auburn team, but needed five turnovers to win by a touchdown on the road. This game is more about FSU than California. If FSU executes, they will blow the doors off the Bears, as we expected before the season began.
There's a reason FSU remains a small betting favorite despite the 0-3 start and California with a 3-0 record. Here are three major reasons FSU has a great chance to pick up their first win in 2024 on Saturday.
