Noles Begin Readying For Chattanooga

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

The FSU football coaches turned their focus toward Chattanooga on Tuesday but according to head coach Bobby Bowden the players did not. The first day of game week preparation was sloppy according to the legendary coach as the squad practiced for 24 periods in full pads in anticipation of the second-ever meeting between FSU and Chattanooga.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden:
“At practice today we had entirely too many situations where a kid didn’t know what to do. The coaches got on them pretty good. It was a pretty tough practice, it wasn’t an easy one. We had too many guys that don’t line up correctly or don’t know where to line up.”


Offensive line coach Rick Trickett:
On his young offensive line’s first game:
“The older guys did and the younger ones didn’t do good stuff. It’s gonna be a roller coaster ride with them. I felt they did a good job of getting themselves up, playing every game. Off to a bright start but that wasn’t Wake Forest out there either.”
