Everything Norvell said after Florida State was defeated on Saturday night.
Clemson blitzed Florida State out of the gate and built a 17-0 lead before the conclusion of the first quarter. After the initial punch, the Seminoles settled in but it wasn't enough to mount a comeback despite some promising signs from redshirt freshman quarterback Brock Glenn. Ultimately, the Tigers walked out of Tallahassee with a 29-13 victory.Following the loss, head coach Mike Norvell spoke with the media to provide his thoughts on Florida State dropping to 1-5.
Like I said, we all have to get better. You are going into a bye week. We've got a lot of work to do, and so we'll be back in tomorrow, learn from mistakes, continue to self-eval of where we are. I was proud of some of the young guys that you see that have stepped up and taken advantage of opportunities. We're going to continue to push opportunities because at the end of the day we left too many plays out there on the field that we've got to be better at.
MIKE NORVELL: This is an offense that's been playing at a pretty high level. I thought our guys -- there were some unnecessary big plays that we gave up. I did really like the way that they battled down in the red zone. Obviously there are still plays that we've got to be able to finish on, but I thought it showed grit in how those guys were able to respond in challenging situations.
Q. After SMU you said that you needed your team to have a better response, but you guys obviously were down 17-0 in the first quarter. What did you make of the slow start, and how come you think the guys came out so flat? Q. I guess just with the running game struggles, is it a combination of several things, or have you isolated, or is it different things in different situations?
MIKE NORVELL: Obviously we're here to win the game. We did not perform well enough to do that. I thought our guys, they responded in challenging situations. I thought they fought throughout the game. I was believing throughout it that we were going to find a way to make that next play, but unfortunately they did what they needed to do to get the win. But there were some good moments in the game and some good things that we could take from it individually, but also just situationally.
