FSU Begins Preparing For Duke

Excerpts From FSU Sports Information:

Florida State Head Coach Bobby Bowden named Drew Weatherford his starting quarterback for the Duke game as FSU returned to practice Monday night. The Seminoles spent 10 periods under the lights. The team worked on kick-off returns, versus scout teams and then on agility drills. Weatherford met with the media following practice and talked about making his first start since the win over Alabama. Florida State will return to practice Tuesday afternoon.

Coach Bowden :
On Drew Weatherford being named the starter:
"We moved Drew back up to starting quarterback. As we try to analyze this, the best game Lee had was against Alabama when he came off the bench. We feel like we're better off going with Drew and then go from there and play the game from there. That change will be made this week."

Quarterback Drew Weatherford:
On being back in the starting position:
"At this point we're more than halfway through the season and it's more about the team right now. Obviously I'm glad to be back on the field, but we've got to start playing better and stop making mistakes so we can win ballgames."
