FSU football meets Norvell’s challenge in short but intense Friday practice: “Mindset, approach, physicality, toughness, it was one of those days we needed.”

Last Thursday marked the first in a string of up-and-down practices for Florida State football, where head coach Mike Norvell remarked that the Seminoles had “moments we have to be better.”

Two days later, FSU’s second scrimmage saw the defense dominate an offense incapable of taking advantage of opportunities due to self-inflicted mistakes. On Tuesday, hoping to see his team elevate in the penultimate week of camp, Norvell instead was disappointed as he failed to see the expected — and needed — edge come to fruition.

We’ve got some guys fighting their butts off to maximize the opportunities they have, and then there’s guys that are missing out on opportunities to take advantage of some of the reps that they’re getting,” he said at the time.
