Noles Practice Outdoors On Day Two

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

After spending the first day of practice on a basketball court of all places, the FSU football team was able to get outside Friday and practice for a full 20 periods. Although it was just a shorts practice, it was described as “very good” and “high-energy” by offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher. The Seminoles will work out in shoulder pads for the first time this pre-season on Saturday and then take Sunday off from practice for media and fan day.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden:
“It was a spirited first practice which it normally is. Everybody is fresh. Last night we had to go inside because of the lightning. We wouldn’t mind practicing in the rain but lighting – you can’t have it. Thank goodness we were able to get outside today. I hope we are that lucky – we will go tomorrow probably around 9:30 or 10:00 or something in the morning.”

On Corey Surrency
“I was impressed with what I saw out there today. I’ll tell you there is some good young talent. This looks like some of the freshman teams we used to bring in.”
