Noles Have Good Practice Headed For Maryland Sod Game

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

Florida State has responded well following losses this year. After falling to Wake Forest, FSU won four straight games. After a loss to Georgia Tech the team bounced back to beat Clemson. This week the Seminoles are trying to bounce back from the BC game as they head into a very difficult environment at Byrd Stadium. The Terrapins have been perfect at home this year winning six games at College Park. If Florida State can break that streak, Tony Carter is the man designated to bring home a piece of turf from the third sod game of the season.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden:

On practice:

"We have had a couple of good practices. We thought yesterday was a good practice and today was too. The kids worked hard and had a lot of enthusiasm. We are trying to cut down errors and cut down the mistakes."

Running back Antone Smith:

On his thoughts on Saturday's game:

"I think we are going to fare pretty good. The guys have really prepared. There are guys coming out here with no sleeves on trying to get used to the cold weather. It's (the cold) not going to play a major part; we have played in it the last three years and it's been pretty cold. We just have to go out and use our talents and go out there and play on the field."
