TALLAHASSEE — Florida State coach Mike Norvell tested positive for COVID-19 a week before the Seminoles game against Miami What he saw, watching last Saturday’s game on TV nearly 500 miles away, was a reflection of just how challenging his rebuilding job will be.
The first-year Seminoles coach watched his team commit 12 penalties for 113 yards, while three interceptions — by three quarterbacks — halted the offense’s efficiency in a 52-10 loss to Miami. And the Seminoles' defense allowed Miami to convert on 11 of 16 third-down plays.
“We understand that there’s great strides that need to be made and they need to be made quickly,” Norvell said.
