Florida State persevered and logged in preseason practice 10 in the face of a hurricane in the Florida Big Bend on Monday morning.
After practice, Mike Norvell said he was pleased with elements of the run game, namely physicality and guys “creating space”, pointing out the play of Richie Leonard. Norvell said the team ran overtime situational work early in practice and that Ryan Fitzgerald asked to move the practice ending “game winning field goal” outdoors and successfully converted.
Norvell also lamented missed opportunities in the passing game though said Jalen Brown may have had his best practice yet and lauded the play of Sam Singleton and Kam Davis.
Florida State resumes practice tomorrow.
