Florida State Seminoles football failed to capitalize on four turnovers in a 27 to 24 loss to SMU, leaving Mike Norvell under heat.

Norvell would be owed approximately $46.7 million due to the buyout terms in his contract, which the Tallahassee Democrat has obtained, and that would be the third-largest payout in college football history. It trails only Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M and Brian Kelly at LSU.

Florida State football dropped its ACC opener to No. 19 SMU, 27-24, in a game that was delayed following a power outage.

Even after the season-opening victory, the prevailing reaction wasn’t relief or encouragement. It was ridicule because the Seminoles didn’t win impressively enough.

According to OptaStats, SMU is the only FBS or NFL team in the past 30 years to have a -3 or worse turnover margin, twice as many penalties as the opponent, fewer rushing yards, a lower time of possession and missed more field-goal attempts than the opponent only to still win a football game.
