Noles Continue Preparations For Kentucky

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

The Seminole football team practiced for 20 periods in full pads on Thursday. With just two more practices slated before breaking for Christmas, the squad continued to work versus Kentucky scout teams. Florida State will reconvene later this afternoon to have segment meetings and workout.

In skeleton drills Drew Weatherford connected on a couple passes to Chase Walker and one pass to Rod Owens, De'Cody Fagg and Burt Reed.

For the defense both Tony Carter and Patrick Robinson broke up passes.

In 11-on-11 in the red zone Weatherford connected on a TD with Fagg and also ran another in. Jamaal Edwards had a big run.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden

On wide receiver Rod Owens:

"He's been fighting just to get playing time and I think when his opportunity came he took advantage of it so now you're not afraid to use him going into this game."

Wide Receiver Rod Owens

On practice:

"Practice has just been a track meet with the wide receivers because the depth chart is pretty thin. It's just been a track meet--a lot of running. Anytime we're off the field we have to get a lot of rest because we know we're going to be doing the same thing everyday."
