Warchant TV: Florida State 24, Florida 15; Mike Norvell postgame press conference
No. 5 Florida State (12-0, 8-0) punctuated its third undefeated regular season in the last ten years with its 24-15 win in Gainesville over the Florida Gators
Afterwards, Mike Norvell expressed the pride in the team’s effort, the big play production from the run game and the effort of the defense.
Norvell’s offense was led by redshirt sophomore Tate Rodemaker who left the game briefly after a personal foul targeting and displayed toughness.
“You’re part of this program, you’re going to be tough,” said Norvell. “We have tough individuals.”
“It’s not just what you do in the weight room or practice field. There’s a mentality in all things that are place in front of us.”
Rodemaker finished 12-of-25 for 134 yards in relief of Jordan Travis. He and Trey Benson broke the ceremonial rock.
