ESPN graphic viciously summed up the current condition of Florida State football

Calling Florida State’s 2024 college football season a disaster so far would be a massive understatement.

The team that was supposed to contend for the ACC title entered Week 6’s game against No. 15 Clemson with a 1-4 record, 1-3 in conference play, with its only win being a 14-9 victory over Cal. As a result, Florida State has become the butt of a lot of jokes this year and is catching jabs and slights from all over the college football world, including ESPN.

With an absolutely vicious graphic at the bottom of the screen during the Clemson game, ESPN threw a hilarious insult (though, an accurate one) at Florida State. Talking about what’s at stake for FSU with a win against the Tigers, the graphic read:

“Restores hope and respect”

It might take a little more than a win over Clemson for Florida State to get some respect back, but it would definitely offer a glimmer of hope for the rest of the season.

At the time of publishing, Clemson was winning, 23-7.
