Fans and gamblers forget that when the Florida State Seminoles hired Mike Norvell, he was considered an outstanding choice. Norvell led Memphis to the greatest season in school history and was seen as an innovator and builder. Norvell inherited a program that was in ashes. Locker room lawyers, malcontents, and insufficient talent undid his first season. His second season was a close call for a bowl game. But the hot seat was turned up on Norvell despite his challenges. Deion Sanders played for Florida State and has shown well as head coach of Jackson State. But Norvell slammed the door shut with a masterful performance and strong season at FSU in 2022.

Oklahoma Sooners Weekly Matchup

On Thursday, December 29, 2022, the Florida State Seminoles of the Atlantic Coast Conference will face the Oklahoma Sooners of the Big 12 Conference in the Cheez-It Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. Kickoff time is 5:30 p.m. ET, with television coverage on ESPN.

The casual sector still respects Oklahoma as a former perennial contender for the national championship. Wise Guys may consider Oklahoma because a large segment of the public wrote them off during a subpar season. By contrast, Florida State won a lot of respect from gamblers this season for its big leap forward.

Last game, the Florida State Seminoles won 45-38 against the Florida Gators as 9.5-point home favorites. The game went over the total of 58.5. Florida State has a record of 9-3 straight up, 8-4 against the spread, and 6-6 over/under the total. Florida State ranks 14th for total offense, 41st for passing, 12th for rushing and 18th for scoring. Defensively they rank 14th overall, 4th against the pass, 64th against the rush, and 17th for points allowed. Also, Florida State ranks 53rd for fewest turnovers lost and 85th for takeaways.

Trey Benson had a 17-yard touchdown run with 4:06 left to give Florida State a win over Florida. Benson had 111 yards rushing and three touchdowns, and Jordan Travis ran for 83 yards and two touchdowns. The Seminoles ran for 228 yards - the seventh straight time they surpassed the 200-yard rushing mark.

Travis also completed 13 of 30 passes for 270 yards as Florida State finished a sweep of its state rivals for the first time under Mike Norvell. The Seminoles drilled Miami 45-3 on November 5. A redshirt junior, Travis used his ability to escape and elude to his advantage. He initially broke out of the pocket to avoid sacks but then made cuts and off-balance runs once in the open field to get into the end zone or set up FSU's touchdowns.

Travis finished with a season-high 15 carries, and his 83 rushing yards were the second most he accumulated this season, only to a 108-yard output in the loss at NC State on October 8.

Oklahoma Sooners Weekly Recap

Last game, the Oklahoma Sooners lost 51-48 against the Texas Tech Red Raiders as 1.5-point road favorites. The game went over the total of 65.5. Oklahoma has a record of 6-6 straight up, 4-8 against the spread, and 5-7 over/under the total. Oklahoma ranks 18th for total offense, 44th for passing, 13th for rushing and 37th for scoring.

Trey Wolff made a 35-yard field goal in overtime after a tying kick in the final seconds of regulation, and Texas Tech erased an 18-point deficit in a win over Oklahoma.

Dillon Gabriel threw for 449 yards and six touchdowns, but the OU quarterback was sidelined briefly in OT after a hard hit from safety Reggie Pearson Jr. on a catch on a throwback play. The Sooners appeared out of sync on offense and had to settle for a 34-yard field goal try from Zach Schmit after Gabriel was sacked. The kick was wide right.

Oklahoma’s Marvin Mims Jr. had a career-high 162 yards receiving and two touchdowns, and Brayden Willis also had two TD grabs. Eric Gray rushed for 161 yards.
