Warchant TV: Mike Norvell game week presser, Florida State vs. Georgia Tech
With 20 preseason practices in the books, Florida State now turns its full attention to game week preparations for its season opener vs. Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Due to travel to Ireland, the typical in-season press conferences on Monday were moved to Sunday.
Florida State head coach Mike Norvell said the program is proud to have ESPN’s College GameDay in Dublin for the game adding to Florida State’s notoriety of being not only a part of the first on campus game in the franchise’s history (1993 vs. Notre Dame) but also now its first international broadcast.
Norvell said 2024 has been the most “explosive” preseason since his arrival in 2019 according to GPS metrics and weight room data.
