Florida State is 0-2 with losses to Georgia Tech and Boston College.

The quarterback FSU brought in to replace Heisman candidate Jordan Travis, DJ Uiagalelei, has been uninspiring — to say the least.

Not surprisingly, Florida State’s offense has been listless as well.

Uiagalelei has completed just 40 of 69 passes for 465 yards, one touchdown and one interception while FSU’s offense has put up just 34 points through the two games. It totaled 291 yards of total offense against GT and 296 against BC.

Speaking to the media on Monday, head coach Mike Norvell didn’t place blame squarely on his quarterback’s shoulders.

“I’m not gonna get into specifics but there have been issues,” Norvell said ( h/t On3 ). “I say ‘issues’ it’s not pointing to one person, to one group. I think that we have to be more consistent overall as an offense, and there’s been times where obviously he’s been on point or maybe we’re a couple of yards too deep on route depth or maybe there’s a protection issue. There’s different elements.”
