Former NFL star and Florida State alum Chad Johnson has raised eyebrows with his bold prediction that the Seminoles could lose to in-state rival FAMU in their upcoming matchup.
Former NFL wide receiver and Florida State alum Chad Johnson has caused a stir among Seminole fans with his recent prediction that the team might lose to Florida A&M University (FAMU) in their upcoming matchup. In a series of tweets, Johnson expressed his disappointment with the Seminoles' recent performance and suggested that FAMU could be a formidable opponent.
"As a proud alumnus of Florida State, it pains me to say that I might have to root for FAMU in their upcoming game," Johnson tweeted. "The Seminoles have been playing with a lack of heart and determination, and I'm not sure if they can overcome that against a hungry and motivated FAMU team."
Florida State Faces Embarrassing Upset, According to Chad Johnson
Johnson's prediction has sparked a firestorm on social media, with many Seminole fans expressing their outrage and disbelief. Some have accused Johnson of being a traitor, while others have defended his right to express his opinion. However, Johnson has doubled down on his prediction, saying that he believes FAMU has the potential to pull off an upset.
"FAMU is a talented team with a lot of heart and hustle," Johnson said. "They're coming off a big win over Bethune-Cookman, and they'll be looking to make a statement against Florida State. I'm not saying that it's going to be easy, but I believe that FAMU has a chance."
Johnson's comments have sent shockwaves through the Florida State fan base. The Seminoles are a perennial powerhouse in college football, and the idea of them losing to an FCS team like FAMU is almost unthinkable. However, Johnson's prediction cannot be taken lightly. FAMU is a rising star in the FCS ranks, and they have a history of pulling off upsets against bigger opponents.
In 2018, FAMU defeated Power Five opponent Texas A&M, and they have a strong track record against teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The Seminoles, on the other hand, have struggled mightily in recent years, and they are coming off a disappointing 5-7 season in 2022.
Johnson's prediction may be bold, but it is not without merit. FAMU is a talented team with a lot of momentum, and the Seminoles are struggling to find their footing. If FAMU can play to their potential and Florida State continues to underperform, then an upset is certainly possible.
