On The Bench: An FSU football podcast network

Florida State is making a remarkable final push for LJ McCray. The Seminoles, still riding momentum from a recent official visit, are in a good spot for the five-star defensive lineman from Daytona Beach Mainland.

Do the Seminoles necessarily lead? Or is the school simply in striking distance after having to make up ground from the summer?

Noles247’s On The Bench gets into this recruitment, what we’re hearing, and more as of Tuesday afternoon.

Plus we get into the major list of visitors that’s increasing each day for this weekend’s Top 25 matchup against Duke.

Florida State controlled Syracuse in convincing fashion, moving the Seminoles to 6-0 on the season. On The Bench goes over what went right for FSU in this episode, with a focus on some encouraging trends as this team’s identity is starting to take shape.

We’ll dive into the minutia – like Jordan Travis’ body language, what happens if 6 teams go undefeated, what went wrong on the 4th-and-1 Wildcat call – but this is a big-picture look at what FSU did well against ‘Cuse, and what it’s starting to do well more and more often.

A little recruiting talk and some Buy or Sonnone awaits at the end of the episode.
