Noles Begin Practice For Physical Va. Tech Team

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

Following a win Thursday night in Raleigh, NC, the Seminoles were given the weekend off. During their time away, the team returned to campus to find themselves back among the top 25 including a spot in the initial BCS poll. Florida State’s win over NC State Thursday, coupled with a loss by Wake Forest, not only put FSU in the polls but it also vaulted the Seminoles back into the ACC race. FSU took one last look at NC State Monday night when they spent 12 periods in shorts correcting mistakes from the win over the Wolfpack.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden:
On getting ready for a physical Virginia Tech one week after beating NC State on the road:

"We did our normal thing on Monday night. We started to take a look at Virginia Tech and it is going to be yet another tough and physical football game. That game last week was pretty physical. You can always tell if you are in the middle of a real physical game by how much your boys come off the field limping around. We expect this week’s game to be even more physical than it was last week against NC State."
