FSU football head coach Mike Norvell talks about Cal preparation and energy in practice
Florida State football will look to earn its first win of 2024 against ACC foe California. Yes, you read that right.
FSU is off to a disastrous start after missing the 2023 College Football Playoff. Mike Norvell’s Seminoles are 0-3 after last week’s 20-12 loss to Memphis and have lost two straight games at Doak Campbell Stadium. Most of the blame has been placed on transfer quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, but this could be a good opportunity to rebound. Last season at Oregon State, Uiagalelei threw for 275 yards and five touchdowns in a shootout win at Cal.
The Golden Bears come to Tallahassee for their first conference game since leaving the Pac-12 for the ACC. Cal is off to a 3-0 start thanks to a top-notch defense and hasn’t allowed more than 14 points in a game this year. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza has thrown for 589 yards and five touchdowns and could get Jaydn Ott back tonight after the All-Pac-12 running back missed two games with an injury.

Cal. 23, FSU 17: While FSU will continue to make progress on defense, returning Jaydn Ott will lead the Golden Bears to victory on the ground. Even if the offense improves, it won’t be enough, as another slow start will prove costly. – Liam Rooney
