Florida State's poor start has left Mike Norvell feeling unwell, and he takes responsibility for the team's early difficulties.

Florida State's 2024-2025 campaign has not begun as expected, with head coach Mike Norvell admitting this on Monday night after the Seminoles lost to Boston College, leaving them with an 0-2 start.

Norvell, looking dejected, stated to reporters after the 28-13 loss to the Eagles at home, "I'm just sick of how the season has started."

"Evidently, tonight, I was unable to adequately prepare the team for the task at hand."

Florida State's head coach, Norvell, acknowledged the team's flaws in their Monday night loss but ultimately took responsibility for the defeat.

"We were unable to execute in all phases, which was extremely disappointing. I apologize to our fans and everyone associated with the program for not showcasing what I believe this football team is capable of."

Preparing the team to play to their full potential is my responsibility.

The Seminoles, initially thought of as a contender for a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff, dropped to 0-2 for the first time since 2021. The defending Atlantic Coast Conference champion previously lost a Week 0 game in Dublin, Ireland, to ACC rival Georgia Tech.

Similar to Monday’s loss, Norvell took ownership of the loss.

"He expressed his disappointment after the loss in Ireland, stating, "It's disheartening that we fell short in that game. I completely own up to my responsibility for the team's poor performance. As the coach, it's my duty to ensure that the team is adequately prepared to perform at its best. In my opinion, we did not give our best effort.""

The Memphis Tigers (2-0) will be hosted by Florida State next week as the Seminoles aim to make amends.
