What happened

Florida State opened 1-0 with a 34-17 win over New Mexico State, which is the last nice thing anyone said about it. The turning point wasn't a play so much as a pattern: New Mexico State throwing over the middle all night, unbothered, while the fanbase did math it didn't want to do. One fan noted the Aggies "were able to throw to the middle of the field all night with no resistance. We are not going to have a good year." Another: "A win is a win. Fuck I need a cigarette or a shower." Both, probably.
