Noles Begin Practicing For Gators

Despite the fact they did not have a single scholarship tailback in uniform on Saturday the Seminole football team got a victory over Maryland on senior day. Preston Parker was a big reason for the success as he rushed for 133 yards in his first ever start at running back. On Monday Florida State returned to practice for 10 periods on the band field. It is the last Monday night practice of the regular season for FSU. After facing the Gators, the Seminoles will wait to hear where they will go bowling this year.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden

"Antone (Smith) was out there tonight and Jamal (Edwards) ran. (Russell) Ball was out there also, but I don't know if he is quite as far along. Talking to Randy (Oravetz) before the game and it's still kind of wait and see. We'll practice this week and see how they do. I was surprised that Tony Carter was out there running as well. He did some drills. I don't know what his status will be. I guess we'll find out as the week goes along."
