Warchant TV: Mike Norvell postgame interview, frustrated in 34-28 FSU loss to Clemson

by: Aslan Hajivandi10/16/22AslanHodges

Florida State dropped to 4-3 on the season after Saturday night’s 34-28 loss to No. 4 Clemson (7-0, 5-0).

Afterward, head football coach Mike Norvell complimented the play of Clemson, lamented the end of the first half in which Florida State turned the ball over in Tigers territory and surrendered a touchdown but added, “the heart of our team showed. But we have to make sure we’re more consistent (in crucial situations) … I believe we’re so very close.”

FSU is idle next week and returns to action on Oct. 29 in a home contest vs. Georgia Tech.
