FSU Wins But Defense Needs Work | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Florida State opened their season with a hard-fought 34-17 win over New Mexico State, but the defense’s struggles—giving up ten of seventeen third-down conversions—left plenty to fix. Players and coach Mike Norvell admitted they didn’t play up to standard, citing poor coverage and communication. Still, there were bright spots: Quindarrius Jones returned from injury with an interception and pass breakup, while the running game shined with Ousmane Kromah and Samuel Singleton delivering big plays. Quarterback Ashton Daniels showed promise with over 200 yards and a rushing TD, though his interception drew boos and exposed shaky offensive line play. It’s a win, but the team knows they must tighten up fast ahead of their next matchup against SMU. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
