I’m not so concerned that we are 0-2 or that a long TD pass at the end of the game cost us a game. I’m concerned with Norvell’s lack of preparation for a football game. Any game, no matter the opponent.
Kirk Herbstreit said it best… “FSU didn’t lose on Saturday, they lost on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.” I don’t make millions as a coach but I could have had a better game plan for JSU than CMN. You run Corbin and run Corbin and eventually the defense softens up and you start having success. Instead we saw a circus show full of head scratchers for plays. People can blame the DB’s for not defending well against the Hail Mary, Helton dropping a TD pass etc…. But this game was lost by Norvell overlooking an opponent and not preparing for a game. That is the scary part.
People will also say that Norvell will learn from his mistakes. Well, FSU isn’t a school to learn from those type mistakes. Those mistakes are corrected in the MAC, SWAC, and WAC. A coach at this level should have already known better. That being said… I truly think Norvell was absolutely embarrassed and I think this team is prepared Saturday. I think we see a much cleaner game plan.
