Florida State was back at practice after the team’s first scrimmage of the fall. The tempo continues to rise as newcomers get accustomed to the system. Most of the offensive weapons seem to be replicated from last year's production, with a clear-cut No. 1 option at wide receiver and running back.
The defense, on the other hand, may have some of the same faces, but there’s been improvement in nearly every room with depth being the main reason. Redshirt sophomores Patrick Payton and Joshua Farmer have taken massive leaps forward in cementing their names into the top of the depth chart, while newcomers Darrell Jackson and Braden Fiske look to add more strength and speed to an explosive defensive line.
