Mike Norvell’s FSU honeymoon is just about over following the brutal last-second loss to Jacksonville State.

The Gamecocks had the ball with 6 seconds left and down 3 points at their own 41-yard-line, and the unthinkable happened. Jacksonville State ran 4 verticals down the field — yes, the one you likely used to run all the time on the NCAA Football game, and FSU wasn’t ready for it.

What did the Seminoles defense think was coming? How were they not in a better coverage?

Mike Norvell was asked that question during his postgame press conference, and his explanation only made things worse.

Mind you, there were only 6 seconds left in the game. Jacksonville State had no other option than to throw a Hail Mary. Going into overtime against the Gamecocks is much better than taking the loss.
