FSU coach Mike Norvell talks about that loss to Clemson

Mike Norvell spoke to the media about what needs to be improved going into their bye week to start winning games.

Opening statement

“I thought it was a hard fought game. Credit to Clemson, they did a good job making the plays when necessary throughout the course of the game. I thought they were able to hit some explosive plays and they did a good job of negating our run game. I’m just disappointed in the result for our guys.

What do you feel like needs to be improved going into the bye week?

Mike: We all have to get better going into a bye week. We’ve got a lot of work to do and so we'll be back in tomorrow to learn from mistakes. I was proud of some of the young guys that you see that have stepped up and are taking advantage of opportunities. We’re going to continue to push opportunities because at the end of the day, we left too many plays out there on the field that we've got to be better at. So whatever that takes, whatever that's got to look like, we’ve got to get it done.

Clemson has scored at least 40 points in their last three games, how are you feeling right now about Florida State kind of ruining that winning streak and the confidence that must give your team?

Mike: Obviously, we’re here to win the game and we did not perform well enough to do that. I thought our guys responded and fought throughout the game. I was believing throughout it that we were going to find a way to make that next play and [win].
