Florida State's rough start to the 2024 season took another hit on Monday as they fell 28-13 to Boston College at Doak Campbell Stadium. This marks a shocking 0-2 start for the Seminoles, who were ranked in the top 10 in preseason polls and eyed a spot in the College Football Playoff. The defeat was Boston College's first win over Florida State since a 35-3 blowout back in Jimbo Fisher's final season.
Boston College dominated on the ground, racking up 263 rushing yards compared to Florida State's mere 21 yards. As expected, college football fans didn’t hold back, flooding the internet with memes poking fun at the Seminoles' stunning loss.

Heartbroken Mike Norvell admits fault after shock loss to Boston College
Florida State's Mike Norvell didn't hold back after the tough loss to Boston College on Monday night. His expression said it all. As shared by Bleacher Report on X, Norvell apologized to fans, calling the loss "extremely disappointing":
“I apologize to the fans,” Norvell said. “I apologize to everybody associated with the program. That was extremely disappointing.”
Starting the season at 0-2 is a rough spot for the Seminoles. They’ve struggled across the board — with struggles running the ball, a defense that’s been outmatched and a passing game still trying to find its rhythm with a new lineup.
In his postgame comments, Norvell added (via ESPN.com):
"I'm sick to how this season started. Tonight, I failed in preparing the team to go out and respond," Norvell said.
