As Florida State Seminoles prepare for their 2024 season opener against Georgia Tech in Dublin, head coach Mike Norvell expresses excitement about the team's work ethic and potential. The Seminoles, ranked No. 10 in the AP preseason poll, aim to build on last year's successful run that ended in disappointment due to a playoff snub. With DJ Uiagalelei stepping in as the starting quarterback, the team looks forward to their first game as the College Football Playoff has expanded, allowing more opportunities for success. Despite losing key players to the NFL Draft, Norvell is confident in his squad's preparation and resilience. The game is expected to draw strong fan support, adding to the atmosphere at Aviva Stadium. Florida State is favored to win, but they must navigate challenges like jetlag and the absence of offensive coordinator Alex Atkins due to suspension.
