    Southern Methodist University celebrated the start of conference play in the inaugural ACC season by upsetting Florida State and head coach Mike Norvell.

    SMU defenders picked off FSU quarterback DJ Uiagalelei three times en route to a 42-16 victory over the visitors.

    Uiagalelei’s third interception was returned 82 yards for a touchdown.

    Uiagalelei connected on 12 of 30 pass attempts for 222 yards and two touchdowns, while throwing three interceptions, before being replaced by backup Brock Glenn after the pick-six in the fourth quarter.

    Unconquered attitude 🍢🍢🍢 @Eberly_M

    DJ Uiagalelei may be a good kid, but if you’re throwing more interceptions than TDs, that’s potentially a big problem.

    Future of retro @TraeK_

    Dabo winning 10 and 11 games with DJ Uiagalelei at QB should, in retrospect, have earned him coach of the year

    Alterrun⚡ @Hockfan445

    DJ Uiagalelei is built like a linebacker and moves like a running back. Unfortunately for him, the first legal forward pass was thrown in 1906.

    DJ Uiagalelei has to sit on the couch at some point, right?!

    lebby invoices @BillingsLebby

    DJ uiagalelei is a legend. He’s about to keep a starting job all season on a team that’s going to win 2 games 😂

    Florida State is now off to a 1-4 start in Mike Norvell’s fifth season with the team. His overall record in Tallahassee drops to 32-21 with the loss.

    Norvell, who led the Seminoles to three consecutive winning seasons between 2021 and 2023, signed an eight-year contract. extension with FSU last year, that would necessitate a buyout if the team wanted to part ways with him before 2029.

    The entire defense has stopped. Mike Norvell completely lost this team. I’ve fallen like Miami over the last twenty years. No hope.

    Brantley Goodrich🍢 @bgoodrich210

    Mike Norvell is endangering his own career by deliberately refusing to make any changes. If the same thing doesn’t work over and over again, why keep doing it?

    Jagnole (depressed FSU fan) @Tylergottea

    Mike Norvell has absolutely debunked FSU athletics

    Jordan Bice @JordanBice2

    Mike Norvell looks like he doesn’t care anymore

    💫🅰️♈️🆔 @ADavidHaleJoint

    Mike Norvell looks like he just realized he’s living in a simulation and none of this can be real.

    Jim Bill @jwnejnssn38x3

    Mike Norvell has lost all the fan goodwill he’s earned over the last two years. If there were a Worse Coach of the Year, Norvell would be the unanimous choice.

    Disappointed cat fan no more @sports pessimism

    DJU wasn’t great, but he did well tonight. He wasn’t the problem. The problem is Mike Norvell and only Mike Norvell. He has no idea what he’s doing. Fire him.

    Ryan Williams @RyanAWilliams

    I don’t know what happened to FSU. It took Mike Norvell 4 years to build this team and in the 5th year it completely fell apart.
    And it’s up to him.

    Norvell leads a team still reeling from the loss of 10 players in the 2024 NFL draft, including quarterback Jordan Travis, receiver Keon Coleman and defensive end Jared Verse.

    Uiagalelei, who began his college career with three seasons at Clemson and one at Oregon State before transferring to FSU before the 2024 season, has struggled to tackle the Seminoles’ offense thus far while working to transition into the former role to step away from Travis.

    Dru’Challa @DruDilly

    Mike Norvell calls some of these plays as if he has the same personnel on the roster as last year…

    duvalnole @duvalnole_

    Mike Norvell is in over his head. Don’t let 2023 fool you.

    Orlando magic guru. @OMagicGuru

    Mike Norvell owes Jordan Travis every cent of his new contract

    Producer Erik @EMunoz_20

    Mike Norvell without Jordan Travis is Willie Taggart

    SMU’s record, meanwhile, improves to 4-1 thanks to previous wins over Nevada, Houston Christian and TCU. The team’s only loss of the season came to No. 22 BYU in Week 2.

    Mustangs quarterback Kevin Jennings went 16 of 23 for 254 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

    Ultimate CFBpod @cfb_ultimate

    You must provide SMU credit. They didn’t look like a team that could compete early week in and week out as an ACC member, but this team continued to improve. I like what I see of the ponies #PonyUp #PonyUpDallas

    Jason Taylor @jtaylor4001

    I’m not betting on it. But. If SMU wins at Louisville next week, an ACC championship wouldn’t be out of the question. Lots of “ifs”, so don’t count on it. But the fact that we can talk about it at all shows how far the SMU program has come.

    ACC play continues next Saturday as Florida State faces an even tougher conference opponent when No. 17 Clemson arrives in Tallahassee.

    Norvell will still have plenty of questions to answer as the Seminoles offense seeks answers to the offensive struggles that have made them one of the greatest. least productive teams in the FCS so far this season.
