With Florida State’s season opener just three days away, Mike Norvell will provide one final public assessment of his team before the Seminoles take the field. The seventh-year coach is scheduled to speak Wednesday at 11:30 p.m. about FSU’s Week 0 matchup against New Mexico State, offering insight into preparations, expectations and any late developments ahead of kickoff.
Florida State opens its 2026 season Saturday at 7 p.m. against New Mexico State at Doak Campbell Stadium. The game will be televised on The CW Network.
Player interviews will also be available following Norvell’s news conference, with participating athletes to be announced.
During his most recent media appearance, however, Norvell decided not to reveal the depth chart to the public before game day. He also expressed as much confidence in this roster as any team he has coached at Florida State, citing the group's growth throughout the offseason and fall camp.
Now, with game week underway, attention shifts from preparation to performance as the Seminoles look to begin the season on a positive note and take the first step toward rebounding from last year’s struggles.
Follow along with our live blog throughout Wednesday’s press conference for the latest updates, key quotes and news from Norvell as Florida State prepares for its season opener against New Mexico State.
