Florida State kicked off preseason camp on Wednesday, officially kicking off prep for the season opener vs. the Alabama Crimson Tide. A hot day that saw temperatures hit 95, per myself and an embarrassing amount of sweat that will never truly leave me, head coach Mike Norvell was pleased with the intial showing from his squad but is looking for good to become great as kickoff comes closer.

“It was good to see the players get out there, communicate, and work to execute. I thought that was something positive throughout the day. You didn’t see a ton of mistakes from guys who were here in the spring. Some of the older newcomers also did a good job. Some of the summer transfers and young guys showed up and did well. It was good to see them in their first practice.

I do think we’ll see a big step from today to tomorrow. That first day brings a lot of anxiety and excitement. I thought the workflow was good, but there’s definitely a lot of improvement we need from day one to day two.”

Wide receiver Duce Robinson and offensive lineman Luke Petitbon, each offering their vote of confidence in what the offense is capable of this season.
