Former FSU football stars call out Mike Norvell following shocking loss to Pitt

After starting the season 3-0, highlighted by a dominant win over the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Florida State Seminoles football program has taken some steps back, as they have found themselves on the losing side in three straight games, falling short by a single score in each contest.

With their third conference matchup of the season against Pitt being considered a "must-win" game by many, the Seminoles failed to capitalize on momentum coming out of the first half.

As the Panthers' offense was able to run over Florida State, outgaining the Seminoles 476 yards to 415 yards of total offense, it is hard to deny the fact that the most disappointing part of the game was Florida State's defensive performance. True freshman QB Mason Heintschel completed 21 passing attempts for 321 yards, with 2 passing touchdowns, as well as rushing for 64 yards on 16 carries.

It is hard to pinpoint exactly where things went wrong for FSU, as Pitt took the lead with a touchdown on a 7-minute drive to start the game; however, it never felt like FSU had the game under control, even when Florida State had the lead.

Mistakes were made in all four quarters, plays were left on the field that resulted in positive gains for the opposing team. These story lines are similar to those seen in previous games this season, and many former players seem to have had enough, as the program that once saw 15 consecutive top five finishes in the AP poll now on the brink of collapse.

Week in and week out, it is common to see former FSU greats take to social media to share their thoughts on the game, regardless of the outcome, but this week it seems to be on another level, with some even calling for coaching changes in order to get the program back to the glory days of FSU Football.
