Noles Practice In Nearly 80 Degrees Temperature

FSU Sports Information Excerpts:

Wednesday the Seminole football team only practiced one time and the players surely appreciated that considering temperatures reached nearly 80 degrees just a week before Christmas. The team spent 12 periods working on the practice fields before moving inside the stadium for the final six periods.

Florida State practiced for 18 periods in full pads and spent a majority of the practice versus Wisconsin scout teams. Practice finished up with an exciting 1:00 drill. Reed dominated the drill for the offense as Ponder continually looked to the freshman. Reed hauled in three passes including holding onto one ball over the middle after a vicious hit from Myron Rolle was unable to dislodge the ball.

Once Reed and Ponder guided the offense inside the 15, the Seminole defense stiffened. Jamie Robinson came close to an interception in the back of the endzone but was ruled just out of bounds. On fourth down from the 16 an offsides call gave the offense one last chance and Ponder took advantage finding Carr for the TD.
