It wasn’t always pretty, but Mike Norvell’s Florida State Seminoles came back in the 2nd half and then held on to beat Billy Napier’s Florida Gators in Tallahassee Friday night, making FSU state champs, after the Noles annihilated Mario Cristobal’s Miami Hurricanes earlier this season.
Let’s take a look at some of the best reactions from social media.

I told you Guy’s along time ago keep your eyes on @FSUFootball the head coach is building something special. He has very good coaching staff very good recruiting department. Most important they don’t back door high school coaches they recruit through the coach.

Florida State started the season with many wondering whether Mike Norvell was on the hot seat. Now the Noles have a W over Florida and a chance for 10 wins. Norvell absolutely should be in the convo for ACC Coach of the Year.
