FSU football begins new chapter with Rick Stockstill: Live updates

With Mike Norvell gone, Florida State football enters a new chapter.

The Seminoles (3-5, 1-4) begin their first full week without a head coach after Norvell's dismissal, turning to interim coach Rick Stockstill as they prepare for Saturday's ACC road game at Boston College (4-4, 2-3). Stockstill is scheduled to address the media Monday for the first time since taking over the program, offering insight into how FSU plans to navigate the remainder of a challenging season.

As the Seminoles search for their next permanent head coach, the focus remains on ending a three-game losing streak and building momentum over the final stretch of the season. Saturday's matchup against Boston College kicks off at noon at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.
