As Mike Norvell put it, "Our objective this year is to get better." Regardless of how last season ended for Florida State football, he's confident this year's team can elevate the program back to the nation's elite. 🏈🏆 | Tal Dem
Norvell discussed his team's expectations during the 2024 ACC Kickoff in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"We've got a lot of experience, and guys have contributed to helping elevate the program to where it is," Norvell said.
He aims to improve FSU's roster and return to championship contention. FSU is returning 10 starters (4 offense, 4 defense, 2 special teams). Norvell is excited about the defense, praising its talent and depth despite losing 7 defensive starters last season.
