It’s hard to imagine that in a year, the Florida State Seminoles could go from an undefeated team to having eight losses and just one ACC win in seven games. That is, however, exactly where we stand today.
The portal giveth and the portal taketh. And so does the NFL Draft. The Seminoles returned a ton of production on the offensive line. However, they lost far too much production to the NFL draft. They made quite a few moves in the transfer portal, hoping to replace that production. Unfortunately, the transfers they brought in have not panned out.
The Seminoles’ offense is putrid. They have not scored more than 21 points in a single game this season. Now, they must travel to South Bend, IN to take on a stout Notre Dame defense.
It is a defense that is loaded with talent.
Notre Dame has been all systems go since losing an early home game to unranked Northern Illinois.
They have six straight wins and have scored 30 or more in all but one. Notre Dame is a dangerous team facing an anemic Florida State squad. If they are not already numb to the pain, expect things to get even worse for Seminoles’ fans this weekend in South Bend.

NBC Sports Bet’s Brad Thomas is betting Notre Dame 1st Quarter -6.5:
“Florida State has been terrible. They have struggled to move the ball, but their defense has been equally poor. They rank 115th in EPA/Offense and are 131st in net points per drive.
They have seemingly thrown in the towel. Mike Norvell’s buyout is way too large for the Noles to make any changes. So, it seems Norvell is using the rest of the season to get his younger players playing time.
Notre Dame is on fire, and their defense is not one to play around with. They are 4th in EPA/Defense and are equally stout in defensive success rate. Get this one in the books early.”
