Noles Return To Practice

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

The Seminole football team is coming off its first win over a ranked opponent in more than a year and its third straight win. The team is on the verge of the top 25 but with conference play resuming Saturday versus NC State, FSU can't afford to lose focus on its next opponent. The Wolfpack have won four of the last six meetings in the series and two of the last three in Doak Campbell Stadium. With that in mind Florida State returned to the practice fields Monday night for a short 10 period practice in helmets and shorts. The team worked on kick-off returns and coverage and spent the rest of practice working versus scout teams.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden
On how Xavier Lee looked in practice tonight:

"He looked okay. He's running first unit. I think he will [respond mentally] the way we want him to. I think he's so much further along than he was last year. I expect him to have a good game."
