Seminoles Fall Short Against SMU | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Florida State fell short in a gritty 27-24 loss to SMU, outgained by over 200 yards but kept alive by four SMU turnovers. Head coach Mike Norvell laid bare the team’s inconsistencies—offensive missed chances and defensive lapses that let SMU make big plays. While special teams had bright spots, they weren’t enough against a talented foe. The crowd’s frustration turned to boos in the second half, which Norvell acknowledged but urged the team to focus inward: fix execution, capitalize on turnovers, and own their improvement. With a bye week ahead, he stressed urgency—every player and coach must rise to meet the challenge as the schedule tightens. This loss, he said, was defined by small missteps that need to be corrected fast if FSU hopes to win consistently.
