Florida State's coordinators took the podium Monday, three days after a 14-0 lead at Louisville turned into a 44-20 loss, and both pointed at the same stretch of the game.

### The goal-line stall

Offensive coordinator Tim Harris Jr. said the failed fourth-and-goal was a read play with a handoff option. He said quarterback Ashton Daniels made a good decision, but the play was not executed across the board, [per Warchant](https://x.com/Warchant/status/2109676069523456424?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io). Harris also said the Seminoles have to be better downfield when Daniels extends plays: "Scramble drill is going to be a big part in everything you do," [he said](https://x.com/Warchant/status/2109676917582700907?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io).

### The defense

Defensive coordinator Tony White said he did not know if he had ever been part of a game that flipped that quickly, [Warchant reported](https://x.com/Warchant/status/2109679404548775963?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io). Louisville finished with 397 rushing yards, 235 of them from Isaac Brown, and 537 total yards, [according to Tomahawk Nation](https://www.tomahawknation.com/florida-state-football/138580/mike-norvell-on-the-collapse-versus-louisville-looking-ahead-to-miami-none-of-us-were-good-enough?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io). White is working to fix late-game collapses before facing Miami, [the Tallahassee Democrat reported](https://x.com/NoleSports/status/2109756786576142488?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io).

### Why Miami is different

Harris called the rivalry "different." "It means a lot, I've been on it both sides now," [he said](https://x.com/Warchant/status/2109677463555264891?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io).
