FSU's hero of the game - Omar Graham Jr. Six tackles and a massive TFL

Praise from Mike Norvell for how Graham has handled adversity, how he has played and "stayed the course."

A Florida State program that climbed to the pinnacle of college football achievement in 2023, finishing a 13-0 regular season, winning the ACC Championship, seeing 10 of their players taken in the NFL Draft, their head coach winning the 2023 Bear Bryant Coach of the Year Award, and is poised for a playoff bid in 2023, has fallen off the cliff in 2024.

In this article we look at the process Florida State will take to evaluate Mike Norvell and each of the assistants on his coaching staff.

And we look at the optimum time to make those changes.
