From Andrea Adelson's recent ESPN article on FSU and Miami's problems:
"There's nobody that expects more than I expect," Norvell told ESPN on Tuesday. "Nobody wants to be 0-3. But it's my job to set the foundation of this program so we won't have to experience this again. We have to learn the lessons now. As we get success and build upon the positives, that's when our program is going to take that step, but I'm not going to seek a shortcut in the process and lower the standards in any way because we have to do this right....
"We are not a finished product," Norvell said. "We've got to demand that consistency from our players. It showed up in the first game, guys responding the right way. The last couple of weeks, we've let circumstances distract us in moments of what we needed to do and that's something that we have to grow through and get corrected. But it's something that doesn't necessarily happen overnight, and we're continuing to work on that."

Hot seats and angry fans: Why there's 'real work' to be done at FSU and Miami
Two of the three ACC teams with a losing record so far this season: Florida State and Miami. It reinforces the sad state of affairs for two of college football's most iconic programs, but both programs' coaches tell ESPN how they plan to fix it.
