Will the Noles be physical on Saturday? They better be. This Saturday the Noles will square off against the nation's second-best rushing defense - a stout unit that allows only 55.1 ground yards per game. "This game is going to come down to being physical," Seminoles offensive line coach Rick Trickett said. "If we're physical, it's going to be one heck of a ballgame. If we're not, it's going to be ugly." The ankle injury that junior tailback Antone Smith sustained last weekend against Duke is not helping our chances. Smith, who has rushed for 260 yards in his past two games, was held out of contact Tuesday and likely will wear a blue, non-contact jersey all week. "He looks like he's about 60 percent," Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden said.
FSU's freshman guard Rodney Hudson, who has missed two games because of a sprained knee will return for the BC game. Hudson and seniors Jacky Claude and Shannon Boatman will rotate between the two guard positions.
The game between FSU and Va. Tech has been picked up by ABC. The game will played at 3:30 as the Noles play Va. Tech at Blacksburg, Va.
