It’s mail time: Is FSU’s Mike Norvell stubborn? Will DJ Uiagalelei ever be benched for Brock Glenn

Florida State football fans are growing impatient and wants answers after Saturday’s loss to Memphis, 20-12 dropped the Seminoles to 0-3.

What was projected to be a 3-0 start heading into Saturday’s ACC matchup against California Saturday at 7 p.m. at Doak Campbell Stadium has been flipped.

And it might not get any better.

The questions remain consistent, involving Mike Norvell, his quarterback decision and offensive struggles. In this week’s mailbag, we answer all those questions.

Javion Hilson was the most recent player who decided to weigh his options elsewhere. A lot of players want to be part of a winning program. Can you blame them?
