By admin — In News — September 27, 2026

   ​The FSU Seminolesbeat the Central Arkansas Bears 34-7 on Saturday in Doak Campbell Stadium. While the Seminoles were far from perfect and many fans were disappointed with the performance, they did improve to 2-2 with the win, snapping their losing streak.Wide receiver Jayvan Boggs had the best game of his young career, catching six passes for 122 yards and a touchdown. He was chosen to break the rock after the game, and head coach Mike Norvell believes he gives them another dangerous receiver to pair with Duce Robinson and Micahi Danzy. “I think we’ve got a really good room,” Norvell explained. “We’ve dealt with some injuries, but those three guys have really emerged as guys that can be counted on, and when the ball comes their way, they’re ready to make great things happen. So I’m proud of him because he stayed the course and he’s capitalizing on the opportunities when the ball’s flying.”Norvell also addressed the status of several players who didn’t play, not getting the backups more reps, scoring quickly vs. possessing the ball, and more. Here are his comments after FSU beat Central Arkansas.Opening StatementAll right, I want to start off, first, really appreciate everybody who came out today, family weekend herein Tallahassee, great crowd, great environment. Appreciate the Marching Chiefs and all the work they put in anddefinitely good to be back in Doak Campbell Stadium. Great to get a win, obviously as you go back and you watchthrough the game, different sequences and unique dynamic in today’s game. You came out, started fast, we’re ableto put points up on the board, some explosive plays that showed up. You look at the final stats, just the time ofpossession was such a unique dynamic. Defensively, we actually allowed, there were seven first downs by penalty.There’s some things we got to clean up in our details. They were able to hold the ball for close to 40 minutes of thegame, so it’s limited repetition offensively. We held them to only seven points, but still we would like to see moreopportunities throughout the course of the game. Some good things that we’re seeing, but obviously a lot of areaswhere we can continue to improve upon as we get back into ACC play here this next week. A variety of differentplayers got a chance to play, some guys playing their first extensive reps throughout the course of the season. Wedid have some guys that were not available for today and were not with us due to various circumstances as wecontinue to uphold an expectation of what we want it to look like throughout the week as well as just the expectationwithin our team. Some guys that, of course, have gone down with injuries and very hopeful to get those guys backquickly as we get into the bulk of conference play here moving forward. Big test ahead, but you’re definitely glad tofinish 1-0 today and see guys get out there and competeOn why FSU took the ball to start he game, his disappointment at not getting the backups more reps on offenseYeah, I wanted to
