Summary
Florida State’s first loss of the season came in a nail-biting 27-24 defeat to SMU, delayed by a stadium power outage. Quarterback Ashton Daniels, a transfer from Auburn, showed promise with his legs—71 yards and a TD—but struggled mightily through the air, making costly mistakes under pressure. Despite the defense forcing three turnovers—including two interceptions—the offense couldn’t capitalize, failing to score on any of their multiple second-chance drives. Third-down woes were brutal: zero conversions until the fourth quarter, finishing just 2-for-15. Daniels’ hesitation and poor play-calling left him stranded, raising questions about whether head coach Mike Norvell is holding him back. With Daniels’ history of coaching changes and his proven leadership potential, many believe offensive coordinator Tim Harris Jr. should take over play-calling—and that it’s time for Daniels to shine without the current constraints.
