That's now two delay of games in 11 minutes. Coaching? Anyway, a missed FG keeps FSU off the board. Sleepy start for the Seminoles on the West Coast.

Florida State is moving the ball into Stanford territory as the first quarter comes to a close, but the Seminoles are shut out after one. Just another horrible start for the fourth week in a row.

Florida State forces a stop and Stanford misses a 30-yard field goal on 4th and 4. Just kidding, offside on FSU. Mike Norvell masterclass.

So after a Stanford touchdown, Florida State goes three-and-out in under a minute. Body language? Response? Energy? This could get ugly quickly.

The Florida State defense has been bailing water since the Alabama game, but the FSU offense has been more than competent. Not today. Back-to-back three-and-outs and the Gus/Tommy magic has lost its luster. Then, of course, the Noles take a false start and give up a massive

At least Tommy Castellanos has not given up yet. The Seminole QB is clearly hobbled, but he provides Florida State a badly needed touchdown to cut the deficit to a field goal.

This was Mike Norvell to open his press conference with the local Tallahassee media on Wednesday. 30 minutes to prove the point he wants.

Is it an improvement for FSU's defense that they only gave up a 13-play drive that went over 7 minutes and not a 15-play drive over 8 minutes?

Stanford scores a touchdown on a 13-play 94-yard TD drive. The Seminoles respond with a three-and-out. Norvell's team trails by 10 and is back on defense.

You might not believe this, but Florida State just shockingly jumped offside on 4th down to give their opponent a first down. Except, it was the second time today, and Florida State did that last week against Pitt and the week before against Miami. A joke.

I thought the PxB and Color have been brutal tonight, but I agreed with punting on 4th&19. It may not matter anyway. But one more stupid Norvell decision just for good measure,

Four straight losses on the season. Nine straight losses in conference play. Another failure of a showing in a game where FSU was favored by multiple scores. tomahawknation.com/florida-state-…

At the end of the day, whether or not he was in or not does not matter. The fact that FSU needs multiple miracles to beat Stanford is. This athletic department is stuck with no way out. Seriously, can you really afford $55 million? Just an unmitigated disaster with no floor.

I thought he was in, but that final play is a microcosm of the disaster FSU finds itself in. Playing at 2:15 AM ET on the West Coast against a team they voted not to be in their conference, while ESPN has technical difficulties with their cameras the entire second half.
