Florida State's lost season was encapsulated by a disastrous failed field goal
It's already a lost season for Florida State.
After going 13-0 to start last season and being snubbed in the most controversial decision of the College Football Playoff era, it's been a brutal start with a new-look roster. FSU is 1-5 on the year and trying to arrest the slide on the road against Duke, and early in the game, things were pretty rough.
Attempting a field goal in the first quarter trying to expand a 3-0 lead, about everything that could have gone wrong did. The snap was a bit high, and the holder didn't give Florida State kicker Ryan Fitzgerald a chance as the ball went into the back of an offensive lineman.

The Blue Devils proceeded to take advantage of the momentum and jump out to a 17-3 lead after a pick-six and a fumble that led to a touchdown.
It's the perfect encapsulation of a season that has gone much worse than any FSU fan expected before the season, and it seems things aren't getting better anytime soon.
