FSU’s DJ Uiagalelei, Norvell Ripped by CFB Fans for BC Upset; 2nd Loss to Open Season | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Florida State’s early-season woes continued on Monday.

The No. 10 Seminoles faced another upset following their loss to Georgia Tech in their season-opener, this week losing to Boston College 28-13 at home.

After an undefeated regular season a year ago that saw Florida State fall just short of reaching the College Football Playoff, competing for a championship this season already seems like a lost cause.

Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, who transferred from Oregon State to Florida State this offseason, struggled once against. While he had 272 passing yards and a touchdown, he failed to capitalize several times in the red zone and threw an interception in the third quarter that led to Boston College taking a 21-6 lead. He was also inefficient in his passing, completing just 21 of his 42 attempts.

But it wasn’t just Uiagalelei struggling against the Eagles, the defense was to blame too as it gave up 263 rushing yards.

After the Seminoles’ nightmare start to the season persisted on Monday, fans blasted head coach Mike Norvell and Uiagalelei on social media.

After missing out on the CFP last year, Florida State sued the ACC in hopes of getting out of the conference and into a more competitive one like the SEC or Big Ten. After losing to two ACC teams in their first two games, that decision has now backfired on the Seminoles.

Now 0-2, Florida State will spent its bye week searching for answers on how to turn a disastrous start to the season around. But things don’t get much easier when the Seminoles return to action on Sept. 14, as they’ll take on a strong Group of Five team, Memphis.

Based on their ranking coming into the year, the Seminoles should be undefeated and flying high. Instead, they have two losses and head into their bye week demoralized.
