CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – After leading Florida State to a perfect regular season and a spot in the 2023 ACC Football Championship game, Mike Norvell has been named the ACC Coach of the Year for the 2023 season.
Before Norvell claimed the honor this season, Florida State had claimed the award twice, most recently in 1997. While leading the Seminoles, College Football Hall of Famer Bobby Bowden won the award in both 1993 and 1997.
Heading into the ACC Championship Game on Saturday, the Seminoles are 12-0 for the fourth time in program history. Under Norvell’s watch, Florida State also posted its 10th perfect conference season, going 8-0 in league play.
The Seminoles are on an 18-game winning streak dating back to last year, the longest active streak in the ACC and the third-longest active streak in the country. The winning streak is also the second-longest in program history and third-longest in ACC history.
During its 18-game winning streak, Florida State has outscored its opponents 718-310.
FSU is also on an 11-game conference winning streak, the fifth-longest in the nation, has won nine straight at home, also the fifth-best streak in the nation, and seven straight contests on the road, tied for the fifth-longest in the nation.
Florida State leads the conference in points per game (38.8), while also allowing the lowest scoring total (16.8/game) on the season, which both rank in the top 15 nationally. Defensively, the Seminoles have allowed the fewest touchdowns among ACC teams (20) and the third-fewest yards (3,786). To date, the Seminole defense ranks inside the top 10 nationally in several categories, including total sacks and third-down conversion defense.
