  "account": "The history between former Florida State head coach Mike Norvell and Central Arkansas goes back to Norvell's college days at the university. From 2001 to 2005, Norvell, then a wide receiver, played for Central Arkansas, a team that has achieved notable success in the NAIA and NAIA Division II levels. During his tenure, he became the second all-time recipient in program history, with 213 receptions for 2,611 yards and 15 touchdowns.\n\nOne of Norvell's standout seasons was in 2005, when he led the Bears to a Gulf South Conference championship and a spot in the Division II playoffs, advancing to the quarterfinals. These accomplishments have established a personal connection between Norvell and Central Arkansas, creating a unique dynamic for their upcoming game at Tallahassee. The Florida State Seminoles are expected to dominate the matchup, as they are currently on a much higher level. The game, which marks a homecoming for Norvell, will take place on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. ET on the ACC Network.",
