Warchant TV: Mike Norvell, Florida State coordinators reflect on Memphis, look ahead to Cal
Florida State (0-3, 0-2) will look to bounce back following a 20-12 loss to Group of Five foe Memphis when they resume ACC play vs. Cal (3-0, 0-0) on Saturday.
On Monday, Mike Norvell opened up his remarks saying, “disappointing outcome [on Saturday], disappoining beginning to our season.”
“Obviously we’re not playing to the level I believe we’re capable of,” said Norvell adding that he thought he did see some improvements on the defensive side of the ball on Saturday.
**Full summary from Norvell, coordinators**
When asked about the status of starting offensive tackles Darius Washington and Jeremiah Byers, Norvell was non-committal but said it looked “promising”, hinting the designation applied more so to Washington. Norvell also expects Shyheim Brown to be available and said Jalen Brown and Cam Riley will be monitored throughout the week.
