FSU football fans react to Clemson game: 'FSU just beats themselves'
(This story has been updated to add new information.)
Florida State football fans are not happy with Mike Norvell, but they are happy with new starting quarterback Brock Glenn after Saturday's loss to Clemson. (They're also happy to see FSU Book Guy again.)
FSU scored the only touchdown of the second half, but it wasn't enough as the Tigers won 29-13 to drop the Seminoles to 1-5.
Glenn, starting in place of the injured DJ Uiagalelei, had far and away his best game at FSU, going 23 of 41 for 228 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Here's a look at some of the reaction after the game:
I don’t understand why we can’t run the ball. I legitimately have never seen an FSU team that just cannot run the ball. This is wild.

The lack of speed on the #FSU defense this year is nothing short of astonishing. We used to strike fear in opponents with our speed. Not this year. #Noles #CLEMvsFSU #FSUvsCLEM

FSU is 1-5 for the first time since the Vietnam War and it’s entirely on CMN. As an executive, as a recruiter, as a coach, he has failed in every possible way since we committed to pay him $80 million.

@FSUFootball yeah, FSU should of started Brock game 1. I said it.

FSU playing better on offense tonight gives me hope, but also makes me frustrated Norvell didn't make the QB switch after the BC game.

This exactly why we been calling for Brock, we shouldn’t have waited until this game to start him, he look better already

FSU stink but I think we found one in Brock man. So hard to believe we kept sending DJ out there every week

Florida State fans react to Mike Norvell in the first half
Florida State football fans had questions for Mike Norvell's coaching at the end of the first half vs. Clemson.
With the Tigers facing third-and-13 with 49 seconds left in the second quarter, Norvell called a timeout hoping to give Brock Glenn and the offense one more chance to score before halftime. But Clemson QB Cade Klubnik completed a sideline pass to Bryant Wesco Jr. to move the chains.
Then to make matters worse, the defense jumped offside and committed pass interference on the following play, setting up Clemson to add to its lead. The drive ended with a field goal to make it 23-7 Tigers at the half.
Some FSU supporters on social media chose to look on the bright side:
FSU could be down down 26-7 but they're only down 23-7... I'll take it

FSU fans had been frustrated with Norvell's decision-making and the Seminoles' mishaps on the field throughout the team's 1-4 start. Clemson's first touchdown of the game came after FSU defenders took each other out on a deep pass to Antonio Williams.
Here's a look at how FSU fans are reacting on social media:
FSU just beats themselves. Can’t get out their own way

FSU football fans frustrated by offensive line
While support for new quarterback Brock Glenn was there, fans were less kind to the offensive line.
Drive killed by holding

It’s not even him man. That OL is atrocious
— Roll Tribe Burner (@FSUBurnerBurner) October 5, 2024
Because we can't pass block and nobody can get open.

The oline is atrocious and two of them are like 30 years old 😂
