Following a 35-11 blowout loss against the North Carolina Tar Heels, the Florida State Seminoles and head coach Mike Norvell are facing significant backlash as they fell to 1-8 on the season.

Florida State finished the year 1-7 in ACC play, which represents the worst conference record in program history.

Just one year after finishing 13-1 and ending the season ranked No. 6, Norvell and his team have managed to win just one game so far this season.

After taking the lead on a field goal in the first quarter, the Seminoles allowed the Tar Heels to score 21 straight points, failing to find the end zone until the 6:24 mark in the third quarter.

Quarterback Brock Glenn completed 6-of-11 passes for 123 yards and one touchdown before freshman Luke Kromenhoek stepped in, completing 2-of-7 passes for 36 yards and two interceptions.

Tar Heels quarterback Jacolby Criswell completed 13-of-17 passes for 211 yards and one touchdown.

In his fifth year with FSU, Norvell had the Seminoles ranked No. 10 entering the season but got off to an 0-3 start, securing their only win against the California Golden Bears in Week 4.

FSU fans took to social media to voice their frustrations over the program's lack of offensive success compared to just a year ago.

I've never hated an FSU team… until this year, overpaid, embarrassing group. Don't even play with pride for themselves

Oh no we suck @fordnotferrari
Easily the worst FSU offense of my lifetime

Even in my most hater moments I never thought this could be possible at FSU. <br><br>It genuinely should not be possible at FSU. <a href="https://t.co/IAnn8B2M2p">https://t.co/IAnn8B2M2p</a>

FSU never been worse, never looked so incompetent. 35 years of loving this program. Haven't missed a second all season. Absolutely broken but this too shall pass. I've seen all the lowest of lows which is the worst part

Plant The Spear @Plantthespear1
Year 5 and FSU is a complete embarrassment. Worst conference record in program history. Worst offense in program history. First loss to Duke. First loss to Mack Brown. 47th ranked recruiting class. Idk, man... You might have to find the money sooner rather than later.

FSU has to fire Mike Norvell keeping him as coach will set this program back more than any money you have to pay him to fire him.

The Seminoles will face Notre Dame on the road next Sunday as they continue to search for their second win of the season.
