The Heat Is On

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

Wednesday’s Seminole practice looked like a normal practice that had been run through a blender. Earlier in the day there was lightning in the Tallahassee area, once practice time came and the lightning subsided, the coaches jumped straight to period 14 and after they reached 24, the team went back to the start. When all was said and done, the team got through all 24 periods with no delays.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden:
“This is the first time we practiced in the heat. Today we got out and it got hot. We could tell our kids got wilted about half way through practice. It is very obvious we could play in a ball game about this hot.”

Associate Head Coach Mickey Andrews:
On the difficulty Coach Haggins will go through now after Dunbar’s injury:
“Somebody else has got to play now. Someone else is going to line up there, it may be Myron Rolle but someone will be there.”

QB Christian Ponder:
On his throwing arm
“It felt pretty good today, it started off a little sore in the beginning, but it’s something you have to work through, warm up a little bit and then it’s fine after.”
