A lot of emotion in your post. While I agree they’re fraudulent to an extent, it’s admittedly a better situation to walk into. He might start from day 1, whereas Young/George/Restrepo will probably all return. Maybe he beats one of them out, but in terms of immediate playing time, FSU can offer that with Coleman and Wilson assuredly gone. Norvell has also proven to be one of the better offensive minds in college football and can now say he “developed” a likely 1st rounder in Coleman and a likely 2nd rounder in Wilson. Lastly, he’s probably going to get more money from FSU than anyone else.
Now, hopefully Glenn is trash, because what they don’t have is QB depth. Rodemaker is mid, nor do they return a lot of starters. Norvell would have to work a legit miracle to win 10 games in 2024; they probably come back down to earth with an 8-4 type season….maybe 7-5 if injuries pile up.
They’ve been super fortunate this year to be completely healthy. Travis has been teetering on the edge of injuries, so I hope Bain or James Williams will be the ones to split his leg in two two pieces on a goofy QB keeper.
As for this thread, typical SFL diva in Blount and his parents. They’ll get a dose of reality when he doesn’t play next year and they’re already shopping him in the portal. South Florida players and their parents / groupies really can’t handle when they’re not the alpha anymore, so I’m curious to see how that’ll unfold.
This offensive mind is completely based around a dude who scrambles every time the play breaks down which is often.
He hasn’t reinvented anything.
Both Wilson and Coleman haven’t done anything they didn’t do where they were at before.
Travis as overlooked because of his size. But he balled in palm beach county. I’ll give him credit for either recognizing him or lucking the Fck out with him.
Take Travis out of there and they would’ve lost at least 3 games already and several last year.
Travis is Norvell’s Watson.
And they’ve had a lot of breaks this year. One of them being an injury to Riley Leonard.
Idk how closely you watch cfb.
But fsu is on a 13 game winning streak while being outside the top 50 in total defense.
And being outside the top 50 in run defense.
This has happened before in cfb. All it means is that they’re not only do for a loss. They’re do for an embarrassing loss.
Not saying it’s gonna be us.
But Unless Norvell reinvented the way the game is played, nobody has ever won a natty with those stats.
FSU is benefiting from a type of qb that has made several coaches look like geniuses.
Beamer with Vick, Sumlin with Manziel, Patrino with Jackson, and to a Definitely Dabo with Watson. Qb’s that can extend and improvise a play.
These qb’s can also turn a a play that normally goes for 5 yards into a 30 yard pickup or take it to the house.
Watson threw for 289 and ran for 131 when Dabo beat UNC for the acc championship.
That’s not coaching genius. That’s a qb that got you out of a lot of trouble.
Even if you have Lamar Jackson, you don’t game plan for your qb to run for over 100 yards.
Travis might finish top 5 in rushing touchdowns in fsu history when he’s done and I fckng guarantee you that Norvell didn’t see that sht coming at all.
