Noles Practice On Friday As Holiday Looms

FSU Sports Information Excepts:

The Seminole football team practiced for 20 periods on Friday. The squad went in shells and for the first time since the regular season ended, they practiced inside Doak Campbell Stadium. Tomorrow morning FSU will hold one more practice before the team heads home for the holidays. The Seminoles will hold two more practices in Tallahassee after the break and before they depart for Nashville.

Coach Bobby Bowden

On today's practice:

"We practiced good today and practices have been good. I think we've gotten everything we could out of it. We'll practice again tomorrow and then give them off until Christmas, and then they'll come back the day after and pick it back up."

On whether there's any concern with the loss of players from injury, etc:

"There definitely would be. You have 22 positions out there and some you'd be more concerned about than others. The main concern is to not get any more injuries."
