Golden Bears face Auburn this week, but what the Seminoles did in their first two games gives Cal hope in its conference opener on September 21
When the 2024 ACC football schedule was announced and showed Cal playing at Florida State in its conference opener on September 21, the Berkeley responses was “Yikes.”
But now, on September 3, that game at Florida State does not seem so intimidating based on what the Seminoles have done in their first two games. The Bears were not particularly impressive in their opening win over UC Davis and must worry about their nonconference game on Saturday at Auburn and their final nonconference game on September 14 against San Diego State in Berkeley. But those of us on the outside can wander our gaze to the game against Florida State the following Saturday.
Of course, Florida State and coach Mike Norvell might right the ship by the time Cal faces the Seminoles and become the powerhouse that was expected. Afterall, Florida State started the 1989 season 0-2 and wound up 10-2 and ranked No. 3 in the country. But that team was coached by Bobby Bowden and its second loss was against No. 10 Clemson.
OK, stuff happens, but surely Florida State would bounce back at home, with more than 50,00 tomahawk chopping fans and a game under its belt, against a Boston College team picked to finish 14th in the 17-team ACC and playing its first game of the season. Florida State was a 16.5-point favorite and there was still money coming in on the Seminoles.Not only did Florida State fail to win, but it got embarrassed by Boston College 28-13 on national television.
