“Iron sharpens iron:” 3 observations from FSU football’s 14th practice

“Iron sharpens iron.”

Florida State offensive lineman Maurice Smith repeated this quote during his media availability, and it has become a calling card for this Florida State team. Even in a shorter practice, the intensity and tempo were non-negotiable. The Tallahassee temperature was no match for the heat being brought by the coaching staff inside Moore Athletic Center. The foundation has to be laid in August if Florida State wants to play meaningful games in December. That sentiment and spirit of competition were on full display Saturday morning. The practice was only half pads today, but the action was plentiful.
