Noles Begin Preparation For Colorado

FSU Sports Info. Excerpt:

Florida State got back to work following its win over UAB Saturday. The Seminoles spent 10 periods working out in helmets and shorts on the turf field. The practice started with honor roll and then agilities. After a few periods of kick-off return and coverage, the rest of practice was spent working versus scout teams. FSU is preparing for its first ever trip to Boulder,Co to play the Buffaloes.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden:

"Antone (Smith) was out there tonight, practiced. That was a good sign. We came out of that game pretty good as far as injuries were concerned. I wish we could get some of the other guys back that have been out. Such as (Matt) and some of those guys back. They do look better."

On Keeping Antone Out Of Practice
"Yes. We can't afford to have somebody pop him in the head. If we had to, that's (trainer) Randy (Oravetz's) call and he could say no. I would think if we were playing today he could play. Unless something comes up - some kind of a delayed deal (he is expected to play)."
