Kirk Herbstreit didn’t waste any time.

ESPN’s college football analyst appeared to poke fun at Florida State after the No. 10 Seminoles lost to Georgia Tech, 24-21, in a major college football Week 0 upset in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday.

“Man, tough loss for the Noles over in Ireland to a good GT team,” Herbstreit posted on X after the game. “The great news is with the new 12 team playoff, there’s still plenty of opportunities to climb back into the bracket. Regroup and keep battlin!”

Herbstreit emerged as a villain for the Florida State fan base last year as one of the louder voices pushing against the Seminoles being included in the College Football Playoff.

He believed Florida State was underserving of a spot in the field of four (the College Football Playoff expanded from four to 12 teams this year), particularly after quarterback Jordan Travis’ knee injury.

Florida State fans booed Herbstreit during ESPN’s “College Football Gameday” show in Dublin on Saturday.

Florida State was 13-0 last year and had won the ACC title, but became the first unbeaten Power 5 conference champion to be left out of the Playoff, sparking massive controversy.

Head coach Mike Norvell said at the time that he was “disgusted” and “infuriated” about his team’s snub.

But Georgia then destroyed Florida State, 63-3, in the Orange Bowl, helping quell some of the backlash for their exclusion.

And this season is already off to a disastrous start.

Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, who transferred to Florida State from Oregon State, got off to a rough start in his Seminoles tenure, completing 19 of 27 passes for just 193 yards.

“Very limited possessions,” Florida State head coach Mike Norvell said. “The importance of every snap in that game was monumental.”

A Fayetteville, Georgia, man was arrested in Louisiana on Thursday, after he allegedly killed his wife and burned her body before burying her under yard debris, according to authorities.

The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office said Kenneth Hardin Junior faces homicide-related charges and was being held in St. Tammany Parish in Louisiana, pending extradition.

In a press release, the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office said that during the early morning hours on Tuesday, a domestic dispute occurred between Hardin and his wife at their residence on Merlin Court in Fayetteville.

The next morning, Hardin allegedly confessed to family members that he killed his wife, burned her body and was leaving town.

Hardin’s father contacted county dispatchers to report the alleged incident later that morning, and when deputies responded to the residence, they discovered evidence that was consistent with what was reported.

As the investigation unfolded, detectives were able to track Hardin’s vehicle to Convington, Louisiana.

They then contacted the Louisiana State Patrol and St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office (STPSO) and worked together to locate the vehicle at a nearby motel.

After locating the vehicle, SWAT members apprehended Hardin from inside the motel and then booked him into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Facility as a fugitive pending extradition back to Georgia.

As some investigators pursued Hardin, others continued the investigation at Hardin’s residence, where they located a shallow grave in a wooded area behind the residence.

The sheriff’s office said the burned remains of Hardin’s wife, Carrie Hardin, were located buried under yard debris.

What a way to start the season for Georgia Tech. They got the win over No. 10 Florida State and pulled a big upset. Their offensive line was dominant, the running game was excellent throughout, and the defense showed they should be much better this season.

Georgia Tech proved a lot of people wrong once again today. Yellow Jackets head coach Brent Key has had a lot of success against ranked teams as an underdog and continued that today. The Georgia Tech rushing attack looked like it did not miss a beat, the offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage, and the defense looked much improved. Georgia Tech outgained Florida State 336-291 and outrushed Florida State 190-98. That was the difference in the game. Georgia Tech had to beat Florida State on the line of scrimmage and they did just that.

Jamal Haynes rushed for 75 yards on 11 carries, King had 54 on 15 carries, and Chad Alexander had seven carries for 41 yards. Malik Rutherford was the leading receiver for Georgia Tech, catching four passes for 66 yards. Georgia Tech averaged 6.5 yards per play while Florida State averaged 5.0.

The Florida State rushing attack that got a lot of attention coming into this game was held to 3.2 yards per carry.

This is a massive win for the program. Things have been trending up for the Yellow Jackets under Key and while they still have a tough road ahead, this is a great way to start the year. Now, they have to handle the success and attention this game will get and be prepared to face Georgia State next weekend.
