Florida State University’s 2024 football season ended with a disappointing 2-10 record, marking the most significant decline ever recorded for a team that began the season ranked in the top 10. The Seminoles, who suffered through a turbulent 98-day stretch starting with a loss to Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland, saw their season close with another defeat against rival Florida at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Head coach Mike Norvell has been vocal about his intentions to revamp the program, which had previously enjoyed a perfect 13-0 season and an ACC title in 2023. With fans hopeful for a turnaround, they are looking for substantial improvements in the 2025 season.
Excitement surrounds the upcoming year as the Seminoles will debut a renovated Doak Campbell Stadium, which underwent a $265 million upgrade and promises enhanced viewing experiences for fans. The 2025 schedule features a standout opening game against the prestigious Alabama Crimson Tide on August 30.
Florida State’s fans can also look forward to several other home games, including matchups against East Texas A&M, Kent State, and long-standing rivalries with teams such as Miami and Florida. Furthermore, FSU will embark on a road trip to Stanford, adding an exciting element to the season.
In summary, while the 2024 season proved to be a challenging one for Florida State football, there is a sense of optimism for the upcoming season, bolstered by significant infrastructure improvements and a competitive schedule. Fans remain hopeful that the new season will bring about the resurgence they desire for the storied program.
