Florida State football is staring down the prospect of its worst season since Bobby Bowden transformed it into a national powerhouse. A loss to North Carolina today would clinch the Seminoles’ worst record since 1975, when Darrell Mudra finished 3-8 in the final pre-Bowden year.

Few saw FSU starting 1-7 after Mike Norvell led the team to the brink of the College Football Playoff one short year ago. The Seminoles are fresh off a fourth straight loss at No. 5 Miami, where neither quarterback Brock Glenn nor Luke Kromenhoek completed half their passes. True freshman Kromenhoek did show his talent as a runner, leading FSU with 71 rushing yards.

UNC is also struggling this season, though their 4-4 record at least makes bowl eligibility a possibility. Coach Mack Brown snapped a four-game losing skid with a 41-14 win at Virginia last week. FSU’s top task will be slowing down running back Omarion Hampton, who is fifth in the nation with 1,006 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. Tar Heels quarterback Jacolby Criswell has 1,600 passing yards and 10 TDs against just three interceptions.
