Football

Florida State football head coach Mike Norvell wasn’t exactly pleased with the results of Wednesday’s practice, but was satisfied with the level of competition:

“We got some good work situationally. There were some ups and downs in practice that I wasn’t really pleased with. We had some tense moments of some great competition. All in all, there were times when we had lapses in focus and communication. When that occurs, we’ve seen the results of that throughout the course of the season.”

“The challenge is on us to respond and to make sure we be more consistent. But all in all, I thought we got a good work day, but I want better.”

Hear from Norvell as well as offensive lineman Darius Washington, running back Treshaun Ward, and defensive back Jammie Robinson.

Well wishes to the big man:
