Florida State’s Chris Marve has been pleased with what he’s seen out of his linebackers group during preseason camp. It’s been a far cry from what the second-year coach endured during the uncertainty that surrounded last season with the COVID-19 pandemic.
“One thing that I think football players and coaches for that matter benefit from is structure,” said Marve. “Last year, we didn’t have any of that, and because of that. … sometimes you would find yourself still teaching some of the fundamental aspects of the game and the position.
“Whereas this year, you’re on level two and level three and hopefully you continue to grow in that way so guys not only understand what we’re trying to get done from a fundamental standpoint but also understand the bigger picture.
