Many people ask themselves why FSU quarterback DJ Uiagalelei came under criticism after Florida State football team loses to Boston College. After the Seminoles’ second loss of the 2024 season, fans and analysts are taking a close look at Uiagalelei’s performance and the team’s issues on both sides of the ball.
Here’s a detailed look at Uiagalelei’s challenges, the impact on FSU’s season and what it means for the future of the Florida State football team.

Uiagalelei, who came over from Oregon State, struggled with consistency. He completed just 21 of 42 passes and threw one costly interception. He also failed to capitalize on key red zone opportunities. That performance was a significant decline from last season’s quarterback, Jordan Travis. Fans were frustrated and even called for backup Brock Glenn during the game.
The loss to Boston College exposed larger problems for the Seminoles, including defensive errors that allowed 263 rushing yards. These problems exacerbated the offensive problems under Uiagalelei. Criticism also fell on head coach Mike Norvell, with fans expressing disappointment that the team had failed to meet preseason expectations.
The loss raises questions about Norvell’s leadership and the decision-making process of the Florida State football program, which wanted to leave the ACC and move to a more competitive league but now has an 0-2 record against conference opponents.
FSU’s DJ Uiagalelei and the Florida State football team entered the season with high expectations. However, back-to-back losses have highlighted weaknesses on both sides of the ball. Fans and analysts point out that Oregon State’s strong offensive line and running game made up for Uiagalelei’s weaknesses last season. Now, FSU is unable to replicate that success, and the quarterback is now vulnerable and struggling.
Florida State’s offense has struggled, putting DJ Uiagalelei and head coach Mike Norvell under intense scrutiny. With the team entering an off week, both will have to address issues on offense and defense. The upcoming game against Memphis will be crucial for the Seminoles to recover from their poor start and for Uiagalelei to regain his confidence and performance.
