Florida State, Charleston Southern push for positives in forgettable season

As they draw toward what is already one of the worst seasons in program history, Florida State isn’t done yet as the Seminoles host Charleston Southern on Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee, Fla.The Seminoles (1-9) have lost six in a row and one more loss would match their worst record after 11 games since going 1-10 in 1974. Florida State’s worst record ever was a winless 0-11 season in 1973.”What they’ve been able to do this year obviously as a football team, our performance is nowhere near what any of us expect or what we desire,” Florida State coach Mike Norvell said. “So we go back and evaluate where our potential disconnects, where can we have maybe a bigger point of emphasis to get thedesired result that we want, and that comes in every area.”A loss to a struggling FCS program in Charleston Southern (1-10) could make things even worse for Florida State. During the bye week following a dismal 52-3 loss at Notre Dame, the Seminoles made sweeping changes to Norvell’s staff, releasing offensive coordinator Alex Atkins, defensive coordinator Adam Fuller and longtime receivers coach Ron Dugans.FSU just had its worst season in conference play since joining the ACC, going 1-7. After hosting the Buccaneers, the Seminoles close out the season at home against rival Florida.
