'It's extremely disappointing, it's embarrassing:' Mike Norvell is again looking for answers to FSU's failures after loss to SMU

'It's extremely disappointing, it's embarrassing:' Mike Norvell is again looking for answers to FSU's failures after loss to SMU

Florida State (1-4, 1-3 ACC) had another lackluster performance on Saturday, failing to build on last week's win over Cal in a blowout loss to the SMU Mustangs.

The Seminoles were outscored 467-297 in the 42-16 loss, committed three turnovers and were penalized 10 times for 79 yards, a performance that head coach Mike Norvell called “embarrassing.”

“When things weren't going well for us, we didn't respond the way we should have… that's extremely disappointing. It's embarrassing. Ultimately, as a football program, we have to make a decision about what we’re going to look like when we’re out there.”
