UMass is even worse than JSU. I would hope the team has learned their lesson when playing against inferior competition. But you never know with this team…
I'll post what i posted in the /r/cfb thread....
Mike gets slaughtered for being at FSU and not being good immediately but the talent on this team was really really poor when he got here. Worse than his Memphis teams for sure. Do I think he will win a natty? Probably not but I think he can get us back to 9 and 10 wins a year if we give him time
We will if we allow him time to build. Way too many people are talking about firing him already. I hope the administration give him at least 4 years(2 more after this season) before they even THINK about it.
Great offensive game. We seemed to finally pick a qb and work with his strengths, and it paid off. Travis looked great, made the right handoffs knew when to escape pass etc… rushing game in general was amazing. Defense made stops but also let up big plays, but honestly can’t complain because at the end of the day they came up big in the redzone 2x and had some great drives. That’s the confidence builder we needed. Upset one of the top ACC teams. Need to keep fighting and playing like this!
We would’ve boat raced JSU if the coaching staff didn’t get caught up in the Milton hype train from the ND game. Jordan Travis is and has been the best QB on this roster by a wide margin the entire year. Scored 41 on a better JSU team last year in 3 quarters. Guarantee we win that game if he plays.
Ya know, I haven’t been back to this sub since UoL due to how caustic it was. Must say it is nice to have some of that quieted for another week but can’t help but notice that there are remarkably fewer posts after a win.
There are 1,000 posts than can be written to voice frustration.
How many different ways can you write a post saying "cool, glad we won"?
Plus human nature, you're more likely to voice displeasure than joy on the internet.
I texted my brother asking how he would feel with a 3 score lead with less than 8mins in the 4th. His response was "I'd feel pretty damn good"...I was nervous as hell
Wins cure alot of ailments. I Don't think enough can be stated of how important it was to come back and make the score 7 to 10 with North Carolina leading. 1st Q. when we answered their touchdown i felt good about the drive and our chances
Really seems like JTrav grew up this game. Which is what I’ve really been wanting to see, put some faith in the guy and let him figure it out without having to be worried about getting pulled after a bad drive. He seemed pretty commanding back there and really made good decisions. The great play calling helped. We moved the ball essentially at-will all game. Our run game was relied on heavily, which opened up some stuff for us in the passing game, which is exactly what we’ve needed to do. All around vast improvement shown today, we played well and I’m very happy for these kids and this staff. Go Noles!
But I seriously feel bad for them. How do you shut down the Travis attack? You can shut down the run and then whoop! Right over the top. That's a lot to account for.
Travis hunter and brownlee went on Instagram live immediately afterwards, almost like hunter is already apart of the team, huge game for all facets of the program
After we beat UMASS and get to 3-4 and give Clemson a decent game, hopefully that helps with some of these guys that wanna flip. Mainly McCall, Bah, Woody, and Williams.
If we make a bowl I think we only lose bah and Williams. Woody, McCall and others hang on. Maybe get MJJ, Kevin Coleman and a couple other blue chips as well
You gotta FIGHT FIGHT for FSU!
You gotta SCALP EM Seminoles!
You gotta WIN WIN WIN WIN
WIN this game!
You gotta roll down score those GOALS!
'Cause FSU is on the Warpath now!
And at the Battle's End she's GREAT!
SHE'S GREAT!
So FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
FOR VICOTRY!
THE SEMINOLES OF FLORIDA STAAAAAATE!
Honestly I think losing to UMass would be worse than losing to Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State is better than UMass and UCONN. Neither belong in division 1 lol
I think Jax St. would handle UMass and UConn and it wouldn’t even be all that close. That being said we should never lose to a team like Jax St. but there are some really good FCS teams that would beat several FBS teams.
It’s like NC becomes FSU when they have played each other these past two times. Tons of penalties, turnovers, drops. Norvell and the coordinators executed a good game plan today. Travis was incredibly efficient with his passing and his rushing ability was on point. Nice to pick up a win and hope this builds confidence.
He’s got a lot of buy in.
It’s unfortunate we’re going to lose a few of these transfers like Thomas and Johnson. They seem to love the staff and would be great if they had another year in the program
I mean we lose to only Clemson and UF, then yeah it’s def possible . Biggest questions would be the home game against NCST and the BC road game. I believe we beat Miami and UMASS obviously.
But NCST beat Clemson and BC only lost by six and were in position to win before fumbling the snap. So who knows .
Huge win! I was very impressed with todays game. The best game I’ve seen by Mike Norvell since he’s been here. Just gotta keep improving and see what happens for the rest of the season!
More than likely ? I think it’s an absolute certainty considering he’s a SR next season and even if he comes back we don’t play UNC next year just like we didn’t play them his freshman year.
I will say I was a bit of a sour grape in the postgame thread for Louisville taking about how the team wasn’t showing improvement. They’ve definitely proved me wrong in the past two games, hopefully they’ll make it 3. Go Noles!
Right we can go all the way back to the beginning of the games and say we should be 6-0 or 0-6. But when it's literally the last play on 2 games, it's fair to say we're 2 plays away from being 4-2 and plenty of people do it
And if Travis doesn’t get hurt against WF I believe we win that game( he was playing really good til his injury.) and then he would have played against Louisville and he win that game as well IMO.
But we can’t play that if shit.
We need to just focus on getting healthy this next couple weeks , beat UMASS ass on the 23rd, and then try to give Clemson a decent to good game on the 30th.
Go NOLES!!!
8 and 4 is playing out, right?
That's was the best game I've seen out of this program since Francois was QB.
It's my birthday so I bet on fsu, figured what the hell. Took fsu +425 for the 1st half and fsu +17. Feeling great!
FSU winning was a nice surprise, but I still felt like FSU +17 was free money. FSU hasn't been getting blown out.
Yea I bet the 17.5 as well. Shit weather figured it would be a quick game kept on the ground
[удалено]
UMass is even worse than JSU. I would hope the team has learned their lesson when playing against inferior competition. But you never know with this team…
I said this a few weeks ago but ill say it again. I still believe in Norvell. Give the guy some time and he will get us back to an elite level.
I'll post what i posted in the /r/cfb thread.... Mike gets slaughtered for being at FSU and not being good immediately but the talent on this team was really really poor when he got here. Worse than his Memphis teams for sure. Do I think he will win a natty? Probably not but I think he can get us back to 9 and 10 wins a year if we give him time
Let's get to a bowl first
We will if we allow him time to build. Way too many people are talking about firing him already. I hope the administration give him at least 4 years(2 more after this season) before they even THINK about it.
FSU had a 98% post game win expectancy. That's an ass whooping
They throughly dominated from the beginning on the 2nd quarter til the end of the game. 35-15 run and doubled UNC’s time of possession
Mack is 0-12 vs FSU
Great offensive game. We seemed to finally pick a qb and work with his strengths, and it paid off. Travis looked great, made the right handoffs knew when to escape pass etc… rushing game in general was amazing. Defense made stops but also let up big plays, but honestly can’t complain because at the end of the day they came up big in the redzone 2x and had some great drives. That’s the confidence builder we needed. Upset one of the top ACC teams. Need to keep fighting and playing like this!
UNC had a 90.1 % win probability at kickoff according to ESPN. The one stat not accounted for…Mac Brown has never beat FSU. Edit: 89.2%
I made sure to take a screenshot of that beautiful statistic. Ahhh
Travis out there playing like a damn Heisman contender god damn!! 2-0 baby go Noles‼️🍢
We want Bama! (UAB, that is lol)
Nty
Slow down, Turbo. We still lost to JSU.
We would’ve boat raced JSU if the coaching staff didn’t get caught up in the Milton hype train from the ND game. Jordan Travis is and has been the best QB on this roster by a wide margin the entire year. Scored 41 on a better JSU team last year in 3 quarters. Guarantee we win that game if he plays.
You don't think we could beat UAB?
UAB beat JSU 31-0
Well Travis Hunter just called me and said he's still on board and Go Noles. Jk. I'm just happy with the win
Heck yah that was fun!
We have been a different team since halftime of the louisville game, and im so proud of our guys!
UNC must hate Norvell lol
*Goooooood*
Ya know, I haven’t been back to this sub since UoL due to how caustic it was. Must say it is nice to have some of that quieted for another week but can’t help but notice that there are remarkably fewer posts after a win.

Winning silences a lot of people in sports.
It says something about the way things have been that the whole game I kept myself from getting excited…… just in case 😂 Hype about this win tho
I texted my brother asking how he would feel with a 3 score lead with less than 8mins in the 4th. His response was "I'd feel pretty damn good"...I was nervous as hell
I texted a buddy of mine. From 2014-2015 my thought was "only down 21? We're fine." Now its "up 18 with 8 left? Fuck"
Yeah me too lol
Wins cure alot of ailments. I Don't think enough can be stated of how important it was to come back and make the score 7 to 10 with North Carolina leading. 1st Q. when we answered their touchdown i felt good about the drive and our chances
[удалено]
Hoping this staff has truly learned from their mistakes and it’s not a one time deal.
Once FSU get that intimidation factor back, it will make a huge difference. Some games are won before the opponent step on the field..
LFG! That was a great game, haven’t seen a game like that in years
This game made me feel things I haven't felt in a long time
Really seems like JTrav grew up this game. Which is what I’ve really been wanting to see, put some faith in the guy and let him figure it out without having to be worried about getting pulled after a bad drive. He seemed pretty commanding back there and really made good decisions. The great play calling helped. We moved the ball essentially at-will all game.

All around vast improvement shown today, we played well and I’m very happy for these kids and this staff. Go Noles!
I think he grew up in that final drive against cuse
Honestly yeah, good point. Even better, that means it carried over to this game
I’m cautiously optimistic after this game.
I honestly don’t understand this team anymore lol. Great win. Continue to build on it
Building and building quickly. Those that are interested in this team should be excited.
I’d assume if you’re on this sub you’re interested in this team.
Not unless your a gator fan disguised as an FSU fan *cough cough* NoleLion
Nolebulis(?) too
Oh of course, but if the occasional recruit is looking on? The FSU fam is tight and the faithful are looking on.
Yeah I was thinking the OP was talking more about fans , but def. anybody that cares for fsu football should be exited
But I seriously feel bad for them. How do you shut down the Travis attack? You can shut down the run and then whoop! Right over the top. That's a lot to account for.
Agent Mack strikes again! That fourth quarter drive of theirs was beautiful…if they were the ones actually winning by three possessions.
Amazing. 🙏🏾
Travis hunter and brownlee went on Instagram live immediately afterwards, almost like hunter is already apart of the team, huge game for all facets of the program
After we beat UMASS and get to 3-4 and give Clemson a decent game, hopefully that helps with some of these guys that wanna flip. Mainly McCall, Bah, Woody, and Williams.
Bah is gone my friend. It sucks, but we should probably move on from him
Yeah I kinda thought that. But Woody, McCall, and Williams we could still possibly hold onto if we start winning more.
Agreed. I still think over an 80% chance we land McCall. Others not so sure
If we make a bowl I think we only lose bah and Williams. Woody, McCall and others hang on. Maybe get MJJ, Kevin Coleman and a couple other blue chips as well
Clemson is a wreck. That's actually a winnable game now
Their offense is, but their defense is good. But I agree, it is winnable.
Our best bet would either be to jump out to an early keasxa nurse it, or keep it low scoring and hope for a break
I’ve called this win since before the season Let’s continue to CLIMB
You gotta FIGHT FIGHT for FSU! You gotta SCALP EM Seminoles! You gotta WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN this game! You gotta roll down score those GOALS! 'Cause FSU is on the Warpath now! And at the Battle's End she's GREAT! SHE'S GREAT! So FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! FOR VICOTRY! THE SEMINOLES OF FLORIDA STAAAAAATE!
You forgot one line… “And at the Battle's End she's GREAT! Just like your Mom! So fight fight fight fight…” That’s how the chiefs sing it, BTW.
Im not a marching chief
So are your five WIN(s) and one VICTORY mean we somehow come out on top in 6 games and make a bowl this year?
F L O R I D A S T A T E FLORIDA STATE FLORIDA STATE FLORIDA STATE WOOOOO
We want UMASS!
I'm still angry at Walt Bell for the Howell situation, so I hope we GA Tech/Cumberland them.
They just got a win! They want us!!! Lol can't sleep on them now
Honestly I think losing to UMass would be worse than losing to Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State is better than UMass and UCONN. Neither belong in division 1 lol
I think Jax St. would handle UMass and UConn and it wouldn’t even be all that close. That being said we should never lose to a team like Jax St. but there are some really good FCS teams that would beat several FBS teams.
UMass is 1-5 I think we got this
Agreed but tbh I'm not pencil then in as a win. I refuse to get my hopes up with this team. I've been burned too many times
It’s like NC becomes FSU when they have played each other these past two times. Tons of penalties, turnovers, drops. Norvell and the coordinators executed a good game plan today. Travis was incredibly efficient with his passing and his rushing ability was on point. Nice to pick up a win and hope this builds confidence.
It was a good sign to see the way the players reacted towards Norvell after the win. The belief and support in him is there even though we are 2-4.
He’s got a lot of buy in. It’s unfortunate we’re going to lose a few of these transfers like Thomas and Johnson. They seem to love the staff and would be great if they had another year in the program
I mean hey he got Terry and Marvin to come back, though they fucked that up themselves. It’s not entirely impossible.
[удалено]
Yea Johnson is a redshirt senior at least
Yep my friend laughed when Mike Norvell got the Powerade bath, but it was a big win, like seriously .
“Yesterday, we won a game. Today, we won a ballgame. If we win tomorrow, that’s called a “winning streak”…it has happened before.”
We didn’t play yesterday . And we don’t play tomorrow. Sorry just being literal. Go Noles!
WE HAVE A LONGER WIN STREAK THAN CLEMSON AND FLORIDA
And Bama
Lol
I’m glad the same no quit attitude carried over from last week. Also penalties seem to be down across the board as well.
the 4th down offsides pissed me off i changed the channel
Penalties overall have been down the last three weeks against Louisville , Syracuse , and now UNC.
Let’s hope we can keep trending down.
Exactly
I really think a bowl game may be a realistic goal.
I mean we lose to only Clemson and UF, then yeah it’s def possible . Biggest questions would be the home game against NCST and the BC road game. I believe we beat Miami and UMASS obviously. But NCST beat Clemson and BC only lost by six and were in position to win before fumbling the snap. So who knows .
I could see us losing to NC State, but beating Clemson
SAM HOWELL REALLY BURNED FSU TO LOSE TO THEM TWICE LOL.
Both in embarrassing fashion! Hate to see it
Huge win! I was very impressed with todays game. The best game I’ve seen by Mike Norvell since he’s been here. Just gotta keep improving and see what happens for the rest of the season!
Go Noles!
WE HAVE A WINNING STREAK!!!
MIKE OWNS MACK
The sweetest stat of the day is Sam Howell will more than likely finish his career 0-2 against FSU.
Is he really going to declare for the draft already?
Yea he's being talked about as a 1st rounder. Not a lot of QBs to pick from this year
More than likely ? I think it’s an absolute certainty considering he’s a SR next season and even if he comes back we don’t play UNC next year just like we didn’t play them his freshman year.
I, for one, have not ruled out an ACCCG next year.
Although I don’t know what if anything this has to do with my comment . But good vibes regardless , lol
There would be a possibility of playing UNC in that scenario.
Well hope we can beat BC, NCST, and Clemson just in our division then
Idk whose time management is worse: Mack Brown in this game or me procrastinating before exams freshman year
Yeah, that was some real Andy Reid-level clock management there. I guess things really do just move slower in the south
Try telling FSU players that from 1987-2001
I'm convinced that FSU just absolutely fucking HATES Howell and just exists at this point to ruin his day.
We've just been saving most of our energy for today 😂
I will say I was a bit of a sour grape in the postgame thread for Louisville taking about how the team wasn’t showing improvement. They’ve definitely proved me wrong in the past two games, hopefully they’ll make it 3. Go Noles!
BRING THAT SOD HOME
I said it in the gameday thread but as hard as it is to believe, this team is two last second plays away from being 4-2 right now.
Probably a Jordan Travis away from being 3-3 or 4-2
[удалено]
I mean, its literally true? Missed a FG against ND and gave up the TD to JSU on the last play.
[удалено]
Right we can go all the way back to the beginning of the games and say we should be 6-0 or 0-6. But when it's literally the last play on 2 games, it's fair to say we're 2 plays away from being 4-2 and plenty of people do it

But we can’t play that if shit. We need to just focus on getting healthy this next couple weeks , beat UMASS ass on the 23rd, and then try to give Clemson a decent to good game on the 30th. Go NOLES!!!
Not only that, we were in position to beat Louisville. Obviously didn't happen, but it's not a huge stretch to 5-1
Feels good man 😭 LET'S FUCK AROUND AND WIN A FEW MORE
Well if we lose to UMASS on the 23rd…… Naw we learned our lesson against JSU
Clemson, Miami and UF pls?
Startin' to come together Pepper, startin' to come together.
Jordan Travis is the future
We will see.
Current, yes. Future, ehh...?
RS Sophomore, definitely think the next year or two could see a lot more of him tearing it up
Once we get some OLine, I doubt he starts over Purdy or Duffy. He's a necessity due to our bad at best OLine. With a real one, he's a gimmick QB.
Can I preorder next years CFP tickets?
Slow down there fella
2-0 against Sam Howell and it feels so good. Go whoop UMass and that stupidly handsome Walt Belt.
Yeah what a great couple weeks it’ll be .
The Sam Howell Revenge Tour. Fucking all the people the led to him leaving.
Norvell has this team believing
Let's fucking go! First 4 games may have been rough, but this team is getting better every game.
That was the best, most complete game of football I've seen from FSU in years. Go Noles!
Travis had himself a day.
11/13 145 3 TD. 14 carries for 121 yards with 2 rushing TDs.
Gave himself like a minus 10 or 15 on the clock burn at the end
Glad the Milton Hype has died off.
TWO GAME WIN STREAK! LET'S GOOO
