Florida State Seminoles

The sliver of hope that remained for the now 1-7 Florida State Seminoles to make the postseason is officially gone. The team is now guaranteed to finish the regular season under .500 with their seventh loss tonight coming at the hands of the Miami Hurricanes.

In a heated rivalry game, fans and players should expect the unexpected. This was the worst offensive performance from the Hurricanes all season, and with inconsistency on the defensive side of the ball, and a young quarterback running the offense, this FSU team once again took two steps backward for every step in the right direction.

Even with the flashes of hope seen on the field, it's hard to be optimistic when the season is essentially over. For the first time since 2021, the Seminoles will not be playing football in December, and with no incentive to win out, will the team look any different over these next four weeks? Only time will tell.

Regardless of how fans are thinking about the game, it was a rivalry game and of course fans had a lot to say about it following the game. Here are just a few reactions from fans and former players regarding Florida State's loss to the 'Canes.

1-7 is crazy, a $65M buyout is crazier.

I really wish DJU hadn’t gotten ALL the chances he got. I think if they would have given other QB’s a chance, they would have noticed DJU wasn’t THE guy a lot sooner. Then again, what do I know. 🤷🏽‍♂️
