Warchant TV: Mike Norvell, Florida State coordinators discuss upcoming Memphis matchup
Florida State (0-2, 0-2) returns to action on Saturday afternoon following a bye week when Mike Norvell and the Seminoles host Memphis (2-0, 0-0); Norvell’s first head coaching job was with the Tigers from 2016-2019.
During Monday’s press conference Norvell discussed his bye week plan was to give the players a few days off so they would return with “clear minds and clear bodies.”
“It’s a big week for us,” said Norvell. “We have to push and challenge each other and I think our guys have the right mindset.”
