Well, it was a happy homecoming for everyone other than Walt Bell and Dante Pimbledon, who took a 59-3 loss here to Florida State. And in a game that was never, well, really, you know, UMass does get the lead. Yeah, they did. They did. 59 unanswered. 59 unanswered. And they rolled to the win. Really a pretty complete game offensively, defensively. Jordan Travis didn't put up crazy numbers because he didn't have to. He sat out most of the second half. Jay Sean Corbyn had about 120-something yards on like 11 carries. Defense, Jarvis Brownlee has the pick six. I mean, so big plays. Pretty complete, pretty complete dominant performance from Florida State. But Mike Norval didn't seem overjoyed about it, even though they just beat the team by 56 points. Largest margin of victory since they beat Syracuse by 56 points back in 2013. No, I think it had to do with the opponent, right? Like UMass just isn't very good. I get it, but you know what? Jacksonville State's not very good either, and you didn't play them well at all. So I think that's another lesson. That's another growth, right?

It's like what they did to Jacksonville State, that didn't happen today. That it wasn't even close to today. Like they took them seriously and they punished them. They ran for, what, 360? Yeah. Had almost 600 yards of total offense. The defense other than Travis Jay just, I mean, he handed the ball to the guy, really.

It was a pretty generous spot.

Talk about sportsmanship. That should be the new, that should be the new statute behind us. But other than that, I thought a couple special teams miscues, that's what you wanted. You weren't going to learn a ton about your team against UMass, but if you played well, but if you played poorly, I think that's, that would have been a really bad step. I think this was another positive step. Yeah, it was exactly what we wanted to see. And not, and not necessarily today, but really these last couple weeks. We've been hearing things at practice from people around the program of just how much more focus the guys have been, how much more in tune with, with all of their responsibilities, both in terms of

practice, but then in other parts of their daily activities as well.

Team really seems to have kind of come together over the last few weeks, and you saw it play

out in the game today.

From an individual standpoint, some really impressive individual performances, Jarvis Brownlee

could have had two pick sixes, but he did come back and get the one. That was, you know, I asked, I think I asked Norvella, but yeah, I did ask Norville about that because that to me was, I mean, he was really excited for Jarvis Brownlee because he was really not happy that he dropped that first pick. And I remember when he dropped, I'm like, yep, that's Florida State. That's what you do, right? That's what Florida State does, right in his chest, and he's running before he caught it. And then for him to get

another chance and to take advantage of it, again, it's kind of, it's a small baby step, but it's a baby step. It is the response that he's talking about. And I think when you look at that play and how Jarvis Brownlee got another chance crazily because that you mess.

My man's got to get, he's got to get some Sam Howells up there at quarterback.

He's not blessed with a lot of quarterbacks, old Walt Bell. But what Jarvis Brownlee getting a second chance and actually, you know, taking advantage of it. It was actually a better play, too. He actually broke out of the ball. Really good to see because he was really upset. Like he was upset with himself, almost to the point, like it looked like he was limping. He was so upset with himself. And then later on in the game with Jordan Young scores and the whole team, Jermaine Johnson goes over there. Kishon Helton jumps on him like he just won the national championship. The way they celebrated with each other. And I thought Jordan Travis said something that was really insightful. I mean, sometimes he doesn't give us much,

but Jordan Travis gave us some after the post game press conference with some insightfulness

anyway. That's a word. Some insight. I mean, I like to say insightfulness. Because you're a little

extra. Yeah. A little extra. Well said. As we saw from the champagne. Yeah.

He talked about that last year that wasn't something he thinks this team would have done. Like,

they are a team and they really genuinely celebrate and care when their teammates score because

Keishon Hilton celebrated that as if he had scored. And that's good to see. Is it a huge thing?

It's a small step, man. It's a small step. But you see it with the Florida State basketball team. That speaks to a culture maybe being developed when they cheer for each other like they did today. Yeah. And I think another moment on that vein, and we'll talk more about the game. But on that note, I thought it was pretty cool that McKenzie Milton declined to go in the game. Basically, Mike Norvell and the coaching staff went to him early in the second half and said,

hey, do you want to go in? And he said, why don't you let Chubba and Tate play, you know, which on the one hand, you could say, well, big deal, it's UMass, whatever. But McKenzie Milton's not going to get that many more opportunities to play in a college football game. I mean, really, I mean, unless Jordan Travis gets banged up.

Unless they're blowing out Clemson next week and they got, you know.

And, you know, unless Jordan Travis gets banged up. Unless they're
