Florida State put forth its most disappointing performance of the season on Saturday night as the Seminoles were ran over in Dallas to the tune of a 42-16 loss. It was one of the largest margins of defeat that FSU has faced in years under head coach Mike Norvell as a highly anticipated campaign in Tallahassee continues to go down the drain.
Nothing will get easier from here as Florida State enters the toughest part of its 2024 schedule, starting with a home game against Clemson. The Tigers will certainly be looking for revenge after falling to FSU for the first time in nine years last season.

On Monday, the Seminoles released their updated depth chart prior to the contest against Clemson. Florida State made a few changes to the two-deep to note on.

The most significant change is that redshirt freshman quarterback Brock Glenn is now listed as a co-starter with DJ Uiagalelei. Glenn entered Saturday’s loss late in the game following a pick-six from Uiagalelei. At the time, trainers were spotted checking out Uiagalelei’s hand and Norvell commented on the injury after the game. It remains to be seen if the veteran will miss time.
Outside of that, redshirt senior Kentron Poitier is now a co-starter with Hykeem Williams at one of the three wide receiver spots. Deuce Spann is no longer on the depth chart Plus, Landen Thomas and Brian Courtney have been elevated to co-starters with Kyle Morlock at tight end. Jackson West is no longer listed at the position.
To round out the switches on offense, redshirt junior Bryson Estes is listed as a co-starter with Keiondre Jones at left guard while redshirt freshman Andre’ Otto is now a co-starter with TJ Ferguson at the other guard spot. Robert Scott is now a co-backup at left tackle with Lucas Simmons and Richie Leonard IV is no longer on the two deep.
On defense, redshirt freshman Edwin Joseph is now the co-starter with veteran Kevin Knowles II at the nickel position. Earl Little Jr. moves ahead of Davonte Brown at free safety.
The only other change was true freshman Lawayne McCoy becoming the lone starter at punt returner.

Florida Coast Equipment has entered into a partnership agreement with the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association making Kubota the exclusive tractor, mower, utility vehicle, and construction equipment sponsor of the Florida Thoroughbred industry, starting in 2026.
The long-term agreement, announced Dec. 23, places Florida Coast Equipment and the Kubota brand front and center to Florida’s Thoroughbred industry, a $3.2 billion industry with more than 90,000 Thoroughbreds and 33,500 jobs.
The Florida Coast Equipment name will now be prominently displayed throughout the FTBOA headquarters, events, and communications, including an advertising package on FTBOA.com, Wire to Wire, and the Florida Horse Farm and Services Directory.
“This partnership goes beyond sponsorship. Florida Coast Equipment is proud to serve as the local dealer of choice for Florida’s Thoroughbred community—working alongside breeders and owners every day with the equipment, service, and support they rely on,” said Florida Coast Equipment online sales manger Timothy Morris Jr. “Both the FTBOA and Florida Coast Equipment are deeply rooted in Florida agriculture and share a commitment to long-term relationships, stewardship, and doing things the right way. That shared mindset is what makes this partnership a natural fit and positions it for lasting impact across the industry.”

RALEIGH, N.C. – The Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers square off for the second time in five days on Tuesday, going head-to-head at Lenovo Center.
Florida football will be hiring Joe Craddock as its next quarterbacks coach, according to a report by Swamp247.
The move adds a veteran offensive mind with extensive play-calling and quarterback-development experience under Jon Sumrall’s first staff with the Gators.
Craddock comes to Gainesville after spending the past two seasons with Tulane, where he served as the Green Wave’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Prior to that, he held the same role at Troy.
At Troy, Craddock’s offenses consistently ranked near the top of the Sun Belt across multiple statistical categories, combining downfield passing efficiency with a balanced run game.

Before his time at Troy and Tulane, Craddock built a resume that includes offensive coordinator stops at UAB, Arkansas and SMU, along with earlier developmental roles at Clemson.
Craddock’s coaching career began after a playing stint at Middle Tennessee, followed by professional experience overseas before transitioning into coaching at the high school level and quickly rising through the college ranks.
With the Orange and Blue, Craddock is expected to work closely with the Gators’ signal-callers as the program looks to establish consistency and development at the position under Sumrall.
