It’s been a dramatic fall from grace for Florida State and head coach Mike Norvell. After starting the season by knocking off then-No. 9 Alabama, the Seminoles have fallen out of the sky. ESPN’s Paul Finebaum believes the program may be running out of time to stop the slide.

The Florida State Seminoles lost to Stanford on Saturday and players were reportedly mocking Mike Norvell after the loss.
