Undefeated but flawed No. 5 Florida St. seeks to shore up flaws vs. Virginia Tech

Florida State has started 4-0 with a pair of impressive wins away from home, knocking off LSU in Orlando and edging Clemson at Death Valley while scoring 30 or more points in each September game. “We’ve got to do a better job of third-down conversions, continuing to extend drives,” Florida State coach Mike Norvell said. The No. 5 Seminoles converted on just 1 of 9 third-down tries in a nail-biting win at Boston College and followed it up with a somewhat improved 4 of 13 conversion rate at Clemson.
