After an offseason with a lot of big roster moves and question marks, the Florida State Seminoles took to the field in the highly anticipated Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland. For many, the long-awaited game would be an eventual answer to those questions surrounding the team. The expectation for fans was for the team to make a statement win, proving why they were not only deserving of a spot in last year's college football playoff but also why they will make a run for a national title this year.

As we all know, that is not what happened. Despite a successful opening drive from the offense and a few courageous and brilliant kicks from Ryan Fitzgerald, the team not only failed to win the game but failed to prove to anyone why they should be a playoff contender, let alone a team in the country.

Like always, Seminole fans were quick to take to social media to voice their thoughts on the game.

College football is such a funny sport cuz our season basically ended the same day it started.

All our aspirations out the window after just one game.

Crazy man. https://t.co/qsmqsopOEe

Maybe if we win the rest of our games then the CFP Committee will choose us since we will have a quality loss https://t.co/wv7M08ssTl

We lost this game because Mike had no trust in DJ or the receivers to cut it loose. Plain and simple.

The Seminoles will return to action Monday, September 2nd, in Tallahassee against the Boston College Eagles.
