Florida State faces early struggles after season opener

Overview

Florida State opened its 80th football season with a 34-17 victory over the New Mexico State Aggies at Doak Campbell Stadium. Despite the win, head coach Mike Norvell noted the performance was “marred by miscommunications, penalties, and blown coverage.” While the defense limited the Aggies to 47 rushing yards, New Mexico State quarterback Trey Hedden threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns.

Following a subsequent 27-24 loss to SMU, the Seminoles are facing early-season offensive and defensive struggles. National statistical rankings place the team 105th in passing offense and 127th in passing defense through the first two games.

During the team's bye week, Norvell addressed execution issues, specifically citing the SMU loss where missed reads, unsuccessful screen plays, and protection breakdowns prevented the offense from capitalizing on turnovers and scoring opportunities.
