FSU Coach Sidelined for Miami Game After Positive Test

Brock Fritz Headshot

The Florida State University football team has had a difficult start to Mike Norvell’s tenure. Now, the first-year head coach will miss Saturday’s game at Miami (Fla.) after testing positive for COVID-19.

According to The Washington Post, Norvell tested positive on Friday. Fortunately, the Seminoles (0-1) were off last week, as Samford had decided in August to cancel their game. However, the ACC requires any member of a football team to isolate for 10 days after testing positive, which means Norvell won’t be in person for Saturday’s game at 12th-ranked Miami (2-0). Deputy head coach Chris Thomsen will serve as the in-person coach.
