Everything Mike Norvell said after the Seminoles lost their home opener.
Florida State never showed up in a loss to Boston College that dropped the Seminoles to 0-2. The Eagles led for nearly the entirety of the contest and there wasn't a point in the game where it seemed like FSU would be able to fight its way back.Following the win, head coach Mike Norvell spoke with the media to provide his thoughts on Florida State dropping to 0-2. His full comments from the post-game presser are transcribed below.
They had possession the entire first quarter. We went three-and-out I think the first three drives. Offensively they capitalized on third downs. Our third-down execution was extremely poor. They ran the ball. We didn't. And we had some missed opportunities. Had some chances in the game to be able to take a step and we made mistakes that were obviously extremely costly, and they capitalized on it.
that would be able to really run the football. You haven't really run it well. Tonight you had to kind of abandon it. What do you think has gone wrong there? Q. really struggled. How much do you feel like what happened last season has maybe rubbed off and/or affected this team? progressions. We've got to be able to protect. And obviously we've got to have balance in the run game. I think all that plays off each other. Some of the things we were doing were run/pass options and they were playing hard, stacking the box in the run. You've got to capitalize on the perimeter. When they're doing that, you're going to find one-on-one situations, and we found some.
on the field as much as our guys were on the field, it gets challenging. And obviously some of those explosive runs showed up late and it really hurt us. You can't allow one to turn into two and then turn into five and then to let things spiral and go down hill. That's why I do think that the leadership and the guys that have been here, the guys that have poured through, the guys who have been through so much, you're standing up, sticking together and just making the choice to continue to push to do more. And I know that's what I'm going to do and I know that's what we're going to do as a coaching staff for these guys.
We work to build it through competition. And what we try to do, but when you get out there on the field, that's where you say trust your training, you've got to be able to put that on display. It's the same thing for coaches. And as you're going through game plans, you have a sense of what you believe your guys are, that's going to put them in the best position. There's times you've got to adapt, adjust throughout the course.
