Fans Roast Unbeaten Florida State for Horrendous Start to Orange Bowl vs. Georgia

That really escalated quickly.

The 2023 Orange Bowl is off to a rough start.

At halftime, the Georgia Bulldogs led 42–3 over the Florida State Seminoles. Georgia outgained Florida State 383 yards to 185, forced three turnovers and averaged 11.3 yards per pass in the first half.

That dreadful 30 minutes of football comes in the wake of Florida State not receiving a spot in the College Football Playoff despite its perfect 13–0 regular season, a snub that resulted in Florida lawmakers considering a protest and the university filing a lawsuit against the ACC.

To be fair, Florida State is playing without many key pieces on both sides of the ball, a list that extends much further than injured quarterback Jordan Travis.

But that didn’t prevent fans from weighing in on social media:
