Florida State Football suffered a disappointing season-opening loss to Georgia Tech, marking the Seminoles' sixth defeat in their last eight openers and their first loss as a top-10 team since 2017. The team's performance was criticized, especially on the offensive and defensive lines, raising concerns about their ability to compete this season. While the loss could influence recruiting perceptions, experts believe it may not significantly impact their overall recruiting efforts, as prospects typically consider the entire season rather than a single game. Head coach Mike Norvell's team is expected to rebound, though the loss may linger in the minds of recruits. As they prepare for their next game against Boston College, the Seminoles need to demonstrate improvement to regain confidence and momentum.
