Florida State football (1-5, 1-4 in the ACC) still may be losing but might have a winning formula in Brock Glenn at quarterback following its 29-13 loss to Clemson.

After evaluating Glenn's performance in his third career start, FSU coach Mike Norvell credited the redshirt freshman for his connection and creating the spark the offense desperately needed.

"That's something that he's been since he got here," Norvell said.

"From the very first recruiting trip when he came, something that stands out is the intangibles of who he is and what he's about. And I love the energy that he brings. And you felt guys that respond to that."

Glenn completed 23 of 41 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

What Norvell liked the most about Glenn's performance was his response after throwing an interception on a pass intended for sophomore receiver Hykeem Williams. He threw his first career touchdown pass to freshman tight end Amaree Williams on the next series.

Norvell reiterated that he has not ruled out the possibility of Luke Kromenhoek playing at some point.

In his postgame presser, he almost considered putting the true freshman in. Norvell wants to have Kromenhoek ready for whenever the day comes.

"Luke has to continue to prepare, and in the way he is, he has to expect to play in every game," Norvell said. "And as long as he does that, be ready when his number is called."

FSU's OC Alex Atkins chimes believes Brock Glenn is 'getting better'

FSU's offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Alex Atkins also praised Glenn.

Atkins liked how he took command of the offense, decision-making, and ball placement. However, his biggest takeaway is his confidence, which has been Glenn's strong suit from the beginning.

"If you look at Brock from his first two starts to now in his second year, he has taken the normal progression that he needs," Atkins said.

" I thought he did a pretty good job being poise and under control. He took a shot, got back up, and kept going. I thought that was a big moment for him."

Atkins described Glenn as a scrappy player with a veteran's presence even though a second-year player on the roster Atkins and Norvell feel comfortable adding more plays for Glenn to run as he continues to improve on his game.

"He's getting better," Atkins said. "We didn't want to put too much on him. He can handle it now, but we don't want to put too much on him. We have to be smart with that, making sure we give him easy things that he has access to."
