Noles Turn Their Focus Toward Buffs

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

For the only time this week, the Seminoles put on full pads and turned their focus towards the undefeated Colorado Buffaloes and the River City Showdown. Florida State practiced for 22 periods in full pads Tuesday as they look to improve to 10-1 under Bowden in Jacksonville.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden:
On The First Night Of Practice Leading Up To The Colorado Game:
“We had a regular Tuesday practice. We had a little goal-line scrimmage down there a while ago. I can’t think of anything that stood out that you would want to write about. I thought the offense did a little better job today; both of them did, and looked like they picked it up a little from last week.

Do you notice any difference in practice with the reinstated players?
“It gives you a little bit more depth, boy, you have been out there sweating hoping that nobody gets hurt at this position because there is nothing but freshman behind them and things like that. You feel a little bit better in that regard. They were working hard. The guy that gets around a lot, gets a lot of attention is Dekoda (Watson). When he was on the scout squad he got a lot of attention. I could see his presence out there today.”
