    "Spring Steps": FSU Spring Practice Opens Up with Transfers Jaheim Bell & Fentrell Cypress Showing Out

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 7, 2023 24:20


    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave dive head first into Spring Practice talk, discussing their biggest wants for the team this spring. First, they both choose the offensive side of the ball, with Dave excited to see another dimension added to the offense via a revamped tight end room featuring heralded transfers Jaheim Bell from South Carolina and Kyle Morlock from Shorter University, while Drake can't wait to see the highly-touted former All Big-12 transfer receiver Winston Wright take his first snaps in a Seminole uniform after missing the 2022 campaign due to injury. Will the 2023 offense look like the greatest show on turf with these additions? Next, they both head to the defensive side of the ball, with Dave eager to see who steps up to replace the production and leadership of star safety Jammie Robinson (all eyes are on Akeem Dent), while Drake has his attention cued to the cornerback room, where Patrick Surtain was brought it to better coach up an inconstant unit loaded to the brim with talent and potential. Finally, they discuss their biggest luxury wants from spring, with Drake hoping to see Caziah Holmes step up into the evidently up-for-grabs RB2 spot following Treshaun Ward's transfer (and as a bonus, Drake is expecting an even better interior DL), while Dave wants to see a defensive end blossom opposite Jared Verse to form a more well-rounded, multi-faceted pass rush and run defense.

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave reassess their feelings on Florida State's 2023 football schedule, breaking it down into the big test (LSU), the games you should win if you're good, and the ones people think will/might/should be tough (rivalries and Clemson). First, Drake and Dave tackle the biggest, most obvious, and most immediate test for the Seminoles in their 2023 campaign - a week 1 game against the LSU Tigers - and explain why the Seminoles should still be favored to win that game (despite all the hype surrounding LSU), and why it will set the tone for the remainder of Florida State's season, especially early on. Then, they discuss the meat of FSU's schedule, including numerous conference games against teams that may have given the ‘Noles trouble in recent years but which should be much worse this season, such as Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Wake Forest, and Pitt, and explain why FSU must beat each those teams convincingly if it truly is to be a playoff contender. Finally, they discuss the three games that many expect to be tough tests for Florida State - namely Clemson, Miami, and Florida - with Dave explaining why he now considers Florida and Miami easy wins, and the guys relishing in the fact that the Seminoles catch Clemson so early in the Cade Clubnik + new coordinator experience.

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave assess Bill Connelly and ESPN's newest batch of preseason SP+ ratings, and Florida State's place in the rankings at #11. Now joining the slew of national media and college football analysts choosing FSU as a playoff contender in 2023 is the advanced metrics, as FSU checks in at #11 in Bill Connelly's newly-released SP+ ratings. According to Connelly and ESPN, the Seminoles rank as the 26th best offense and the 8th best defense in the country. Drake and Dave break down whether Florida State's overall ranking is appropriate, why it's an obvious glitch in the formula that the defense ranks substantially ahead (or ahead at all) of the offense, who above the ‘Noles actually belongs above them, what it would mean for FSU's season and playoff chances if its defense is actually better than its offense, why Florida's #20 ranking is so comically wrong, and much more!

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave ask and try to answer the questions standing in the way of a playoff appearance/championship for Florida State in 2023! The college football world has already made a darling pick to make a playoff appearance in 2023, after a resurgent 10-win season fueled by the breakout of star QB Jordan Travis. The Seminoles return the vast majority of snaps on both offense and defense, including numerous players who spurned NFL opportunities to return, and lost only a couple of key contributors while bringing in even more proven talent through the transfer portal. With all of that said, Dave asks whether the offensive line play can improve enough in 2023 to be better-than-good or great, and whether FSU can reach or win a championship game without great/elite offensive line play. Then, Drake asks whether Florida State's defense can improve its consistency on a down-to-down, series-to-series, and game-by-game basis, after an up-and-down 2022 campaign that vacillated at times between bend-but-don't-break and break-but-don't-bend. Finally, the guys ask whether Jordan Travis can be one of the 5 best QBs in college football in 2023, and whether that level of play will be required to mask other deficiencies and give Florida State a chance at playoff contention.

    "Depth On The Line": FSU D-Line led by Jared Verse, Fabien Lovett & Pat Payton Could be Best in The Conference for 2023

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 13, 2023 26:26


    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave continue the way-too-early position previews, finishing the offensive side of the ball with the big guys up front along the offensive line. Once again in 2023, Florida State's defensive line appears to be the most talented, sure-thing of any position group on the roster. In 2022, the Seminoles figured to boast one of the premier interior defensive lines in the nation, but had a massive void to fill on the edge after Jermaine Johnson etched his name in FSU lore and earned himself a pick in the first round of the NFL Draft - which highly-anticipated newcomer transfer Jared Verse was expected to help fill. By season's end, Verse had lived up to the hype and become one of the most feared and disruptive pure pass rushers in the ACC and nationally, and Fabien Lovett demonstrated the stark difference in the defensive play as a whole when without him in the lineup, meanwhile youngsters such as Patrick Payton and Joshua Farmer forced their way into playing time, complementing a high-throttle offensive and helping the Seminoles to a 10-win season. Florida State brings back mostly all key contributors along the defensive line, including Verse and Lovett, and adds even more key, proven talent from the transfer portal, in Braden Fiske, Darrell Jackson, and Gilber Edmond, giving the Seminoles enormous quality depth. With that in mind, Drake and Dave discuss expectations and performance of the defensive line in 2022, wants, needs, and room for improvement for the defensive line play in 2023, and breakout candidates who could force their way into a starting spot in a crowded and talented defensive line by season's end.

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave continue the way-too-early position previews, finishing the offensive side of the ball with the big guys up front along the offensive line. Since inheriting one of the worst offensive lines in all of FBS upon his arrival to Florida State, Alex Atkins has coached and recruited the position into a state of serviceability, if not better. Indeed, the offensive line has improved each year since Atkins' arrival alongside Mike Norvell, largely anchored by the play of transfers such as Dillan Gibbons, D'Mitri Emmanuel, and Jazston Turnerine in 2022, which saw FSU's run blocking improve to top-50 after being 120th-best the year prior. The Seminoles will once again lean on transfers along the offensive line in 2023, after bringing in yet another top crop of transfers including UTEP stat tackle Jeremiah Byers, Colorado guard Casey Roddick, and Auburn guard Keiondre Jones. Though injuries could have derailed FSU's offensive line in 2022, quality, functional depth shined through, and the depth should be even greater in 2023. With that in mind, Drake and Dave discuss expectations and performance of the offensive line in 2022, wants and needs for the line play in 2023, and underclassmen breakout candidates who could force themselves into a starting spot by season's end.

    "Show Me The Money": Mike Norvell Extended by FSU Football & How Jaheim Bell Will Unlock A New Gear For The Offense

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 10, 2023 28:10


    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave discuss the massive pay raise and extension given to Mike Norvell, and continue the way-too-early position previews with the retooled tight ends room! First, Drake and Dave offer their thoughts on the pay raise extension given to Head Coach Mike Norvell by Florida State, which extends Norvell through 2029 and raises his average annual salary to just over $8 million per year—bringing the fourth year Seminoles coach, fresh off a 10-win season, in line with the top-10/15 highest paid coaches in the nation. If nothing else, the athletics administration's commitment to football success (as reflected by this deal) should excite everyone, as FSU announces its financial commitment to competing at the highest level! Next, the guys continue their way-too-early previews with the tight end position. Cam Macdonald was a reliable, consistent, known-quantity tight end for Florida State throughout his career and in 2022, but Markeston Douglas burst onto the scene as the Seminoles' most highly-graded tight end last season, and what a wonder it was seeing the coaching staff draw up screen passes for a 270+ pound tight end. Fast-forward to 2023, and Douglas is joined by highly-touted transfer tight ends Jaheim Bell and Kyle Morlock, which Drake and Dave explain will add another dimension to Norvell's already-top-10 offense. Will 2023 see FSU's best tight end play since perhaps the days of Nick O'Leary? Will one of the newcomers at tight end be a breakout player of the year candidate for Florida State's offense, or will Douglas continue to grow and surprise everyone as the best tight end on the roster?

    "Bringing the Boom": FSU LBs Ready for Another Big Step as Tatum Bethune & Kalen DeLoach Return to Lead the Core Four

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 7, 2023 28:05


    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave continue the way-too-early position previews: this time with the much-improved linebackers! Tatum Bethune transferred to Florida State from UCF and instantly solidified the Seminoles' linebacking corps which, for the first time in several seasons, was generally not a liability for the defense. Kalen Deloach thrust himself into household name status, and potential into a high-level NFL Draft pick, with a series of impressive performances and games in 2022, and yet has significant room to grow. DJ Lundy was, to the likely surprise of many, FSU's highest-graded linebacker on the 2022 season, flourishing under the tutelage of new linebackers coach Randy Shannon. And Brendan Gant showed great potential in his first year at linebacker after changing positions from his traditional safety spot. As a result, expectations are relatively high for the linebackers in 2023, and the solidity of their play could be a key to the Seminoles' defensive success and path to a conference title and playoff run. With that in mind, Drake and Dave assess the expectations and performance of the linebacking unit in 2022, how they expect the Seminoles' linebackers to perform in 2023, and end with a talk about scheme and how FSU's linebackers can become better than good.

    "Thunder and Lightning": Trey Benson & Lawrance Toafili lead FSU Football Running Backs To New Heights For 2023 CFP Berth

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 6, 2023 26:28


    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave continue the way-too-early position previews - this time with the running backs - and entertain the question of whether Trey Benson will be Florida State's first 1,000 yard rusher since Dalvin Cook! With Treshaun Ward departed through the transfer portal to Kansas State, the running back room clearly belongs to breakout star Trey Benson, whose 2022 campaign was single-digit yards short of the 1,000 rushing yard mark. With Benson (perhaps surprisingly) electing to forego the NFL Draft and return for another season, expectations are through the roof for both Benson and the Florida State running game, which was already among the best in the country in 2022. Benson's average of more than 4.5 yards after contact per carry brings a punishing running style, complimented by change-of-pace backs Lawrence Toafili and Rodney Hill, who are poised to see an uptick in carries following Ward's departure. Also in the mix for carries is the oft-forgotten Cazaiah Holmes, who brings enormous talent and potential (Holmes was a blue chip recruit that Penn State was very excited about), a full season in the system on the scout team, and a bigger body similar to that of Benson and capable of withstanding down-to-down contact. Walk-on CJ Campbell also figures to receive some carries after repeated impressive practice performances over the course of the 2022 season materialized into playing time and two touchdowns. With that in mind, Drake and Dave assess the expectations and performance of the running back room in 2022, how they expect the Seminoles' rushing attack to perform in 2023, and which player(s) will be the wild card for Florida State to maximize its offense next season.

    "The Pinnacle": How Florida State Football can Reach the top with stars Johnny Wilson, Akeem Dent & Trey Benson

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 5, 2023 33:18


    Welcome back to another episode of Locked On Seminoles! Dave brings in an old face you know and love (yes, it's Max) to discuss what the offense and defense need to do in order for FSU to be a real championship contender in 2023, and offer their wild cards for which players stepping up could make the biggest difference. First, Dave and Max explain why the offense—already one of the best in the country in 2022, for both passing and rushing—needs to improve on the margins, namely by improving situational football and consistency, which will likely see the greatest gains at wide receiver (with another year in the system for key contributors such as Johnny Wilson, Mycah Pittman, and Winston Wright) and tight end (with a revamped room that includes highly-touted transfer additions Kyle Morlock and Jaheim Bell). Then, they address the improvements needed on defense, namely maximizing the talent and potential at the defense back position (which should be accomplished through the addition of new defensive backs coach Patrick Surtain), and more well-rounded defensive line play that sets the edge and finishes the numerous almost-sacks/pressures Florida State saw each week in 2022. Finally, they offer their individual wild cards for the 2023 season that could push the Seminoles over the hump into championship contender territory, including new tight ends Morlock and Bell, veteran returning defensive back Akeem Dent, and Kalen Deloach.

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave continue their way-too-early position previews/breakdown, this time looking at the defensive back room. First, Drake and Dave discuss the expectations and after-the-fact feelings about the DB corps in 2022, a group that was yet again loaded with talent and potential, and had guys step up primarily at the CB position, but overall saw inconsistent performance outside of star safety Jammie Robinson. Then, the guys address the expectations for the defensive backs heading into 2023, as Florida State adds lockdown corner, UVA transfer Fentrell Cypress, but loses Jammie Robinson, under the tutelage of new defensive backs coach Pat Surtain. Will this be the year of Travis Jay? Will Akeem Dent fill in nicely for Jammie Robinson? Will guys like Renardo Green or Jarrian Jones take the next step to provide another shutdown option at CB opposite Cypress? Finally, they discuss whether, despite being loaded with talent/potential and household names, the DB room is the biggest question mark on the team for 2023, and how deep the safety spot really is beyond the first team—will a youngster step up and make a name for himself?

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave break down the newly-released 2023 schedule for Florida State, and explain why they believe it sets up well for a playoff run. First, Drake and Dave discuss the opening third of the schedule—9/3 vs. LSU in Orlando; 9/9 vs. Southern Miss; 9/16 @ Boston College; and 9/23 @ Clemson—and discuss the fact that despite the difficulty of playing LSU and Clemson in the same month (and to start the season), having their most challenging games early provides the Seminoles a buffer to make the playoffs even with a loss. Then, the guys tackle the middle third of the schedule following a bye week on September 30th (after Clemson)—10/7 vs. Virginia Tech; 10/14 vs. Syracuse; 10/21 vs. Duke; and 10/28 @ Wake Forest—in what Dave coins the “control your destiny” part of the schedule, as the Seminoles will be favored and should beat each of these 4 teams (3 of which will be played at home in Doak), like good teams are supposed to do. Finally, they assess the final third of the season—11/4 @ Pitt; 11/11 vs. Miami; 11/18 vs. North Alabama; and 11/25 at Florida—and argue that getting Miami late could actually be a good thing, notwithstanding the fact that the Miami and Florida games fall within 3 weeks of each other. Yet again, FSU will be favored in each of these games and should control its ACC Championship and playoff destiny, without an overly high level of scheduling difficulty (thanks, ACC?).

    "Receiver Breakdown": Johnny Wilson Leads Stacked FSU Football Wide Reciever Room & CFB is on notice of Seminoles for 2023

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 19, 2023 28:38


    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave continue the way-too-early talk with the start of position previews - beginning with the wide receivers! It's tough to pick a position group on the team for “most improved” and not immediately think of the wide receivers. With a handful of transfers coming in at the position entering 2022, hopes were high for a long-awaited turnaround at the position; and that's exactly what we got. With a breakout season from Johnny Wilson making tough catch after tough catch, to Mycah Pittman proving himself equal parts reliable and hard-nosed, the position finally saw competency and production, allowing Jordan Travis and the offense as a whole to flourish. Entering 2023, the ‘Noles bring back the vast majority of key contributors at the WR position, with Johnny Wilson and Mycah Pittman sure to start; Kentron Portier and Darrion Williamson showing flashes that warrant meaningful playing time; 2022 transfer Winston Wright returning from injury to try to reclaim the all-conference production he generated at West Virginia; uber-talented freshman Hykeem Williams and Vandrevius Jacobs entering the shuffle; and players like Ja'Khi Douglas and Josh Burrell still waiting for a chance to prove themselves. Indeed, the Seminoles return so much talent and production that a productive contributor like Malik McClain departed via the transfer portal. Drake and Dave are here to explain why production at wide receiver should only take another step forward in 2023, offering you their top-5 at the position and a surprise/sleeper candidate to keep an eye on.

Drake and Dave begin the way-too-early talk with a game-by-game mini-preview of each game, to arrive at a season win total (hint: we're talking playoffs)! With a 10-win season under their belt, a boatload of elite talent returning—including a Heisman-contender at QB with Jordan Travis, an elite RB in Trey Benson, a stable of proven playmakers at WR, an improved and still improving offensive line, a defensive line anchored by veteran leaders in Jared Verse and Fabian Lovett, a vastly improved LB corps with Tatum Bethune and Kalen Deloach, and a DB room filled with talent and now under the tutelage of coach Pat Surtain—and a bounty of additional elite talent pouring in through the transfer portal, the 2023 season appears poised to be a win-now, money-year for Florida State football.  With a real chance to regain the ACC crown and make their second appearance in the College Football Playoff in 2023, the Seminoles' season will of course come down to how well they can navigate their schedule. So that's exactly what Drake and Dave do in today's episode, briefly previewing and predicting a win or loss for each game on the schedule.

Finally, they continue the transfer portal chatter, identifying the biggest areas of need for FSU in the transfer portal, and posit that this year's portal class could be exactly what is needed for Mike Norvell & Co. to take the next step on the climb for this program.

    "Orange Crush(ed)": FSU Closes Out ACC Play as Trey Benson & Jordan Travis helm Dominant Showing Against Syracuse Orange

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favoriter daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave delight in yet another blowout victory, this time a 38-3 thrashing of Syracuse, as Florida State is playing at the highest level we've seen in several. First, Drake and Dave discuss the incredible development and play of the FSU defense, which held Syracuse (which, surprisingly, was able to start QB Garrett Shrader) without an offensive touchdown and to just 160 total yards. A resurgent secondary, complimenting a finally healthy defensive line, as well as the emergence of youngsters, has Florida State playing the confident, dominant defense of Seminole past. Next, the guys turn to the offensive side of the ball, where star QB Jordan Travis turned in yet another excellent and efficient performance consisting of 5 total TDs (3 passing, 1 rushing, and 1 receiving), but was perhaps overshadowed once again by yet another career-best rushing performance from RB Trey Benson, who averaged over 9 yards per carry en route to over 160 yards, and refused to be tackled. Some trickeration, and importantly getting 10+ receivers involved, led to a performance by the offense matching the dominance of the defense. Finally, they discuss their general feelings about this Florida State team and coaching staff following their 7th win of the year (3rd in a row) and second consecutive conference blowout, with the ability to notch a 10-win season for the first time since 2016.

    Looking for its third win in a row, your Florida State Seminoles travel to Syracuse and take on Dino Babers, and a struggling Syracuse Orange football team. Today, your friends here at Locked On Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast are here with another Gameday-day Walkthrough of the team. AS always with The Walkthrough, Drake and Dave discuss what are they keys to victory here for the Seminoles and Mike Norvell. Offensively, how aggressive do they need to be on the ground? Can Norvell and Atkins take advantage of a supremely banged up Syracuse defense who started off hot, but is now struggling after missing pieces in their defensive unit? While Syracuse's offense, when led by Garrett Shrader was humming, since he went down it has struggled to find it footing with UF transfer Carlos Del Rio-Wilson. Furthermore, Sean Tucker, many p[peoples pick as the best RB in the conference heading into the year and potentially a top 5 back in the country, has shown signs of severely slowing down. Let's see if Adam Fuller can continue this aggressive defensive approach he has had the past few weeks.  Unsung heroes, game predictions and more is what's in store for you from the Walkthrough and honestly, it will have you more than confident in the Seminoles heading into Saturday night.   As always, we here at Locked On Seminoles want to thank each and every single one of you for all the love and support.

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave preview the ‘Noles upcoming matchup against reeling Syracuse, including a stark contrast of the Orange's massive injury issues and 3-game tailspin vs. Florida State's healthy roster and massive rivalry win. First, Drake and Dave discuss the massive injury issues to Syracuse's offense, including QB Garrett Shrader (who haunted FSU with his legs last season) likely missing this game—and middling QB Carlos Del Rio taking his place—as well as star RB Sean Tucker seemingly banged up and struggling, and why this is so impactful in a matchup against Florida State. Next, the guys examine the Syracuse defense, which started the season strong and has fallen off over the Orange's 3-game skid, and will now be without excellent CB Garrett Williams, and how that defense is most vulnerable to a confident and multi-dimensional Seminoles offense. Finally, they discuss the general feeling about this Florida State team heading into this matchup, and the potential implications of this Syracuse game as the season's end draws near, including keeping a 10-win season alive, as well as recruiting, NFL draft, transfer portal, and other potential consequences.

Drake and Dave continue to delight in the Seminoles' embarrassment of the Miami Hurricanes in their rent-a-stadium a/k/a Doak South, discussing the implications of that big win and the remaining schedule in light of Florida State's and its opponents' recent play, as well as take on an intriguing listener question. First, Drake and Dave explain why beating Miami so resoundingly is a boon for FSU recruiting, as well as a reassurance to the fanbase that Mike Norvell and Company clearly have this program trending in the right direction. Next, the guys examine Florida State's remaining three games against a Garrett Shrader-less Syracuse team that's reeling after three consecutive losses, a middling Louisiana team coming off blowing a big lead against Troy, and a Florida team whose passing game and defense are competing for the title of most incompetent.

    "Absolute Dominance": Trey Benson & FSU Defense Deliver Masterclass Performance against Mario Cristobal's Miami Hurricanes

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave relish in Florida State's utter domination of a hapless and embarrassing Miami football team, and highlight the equally impressive play of the defense and the offense, as the Seminoles tie the largest margin of victory EVER in a road game in this rivalry, winning 45-3. First, Drake and Dave take a victory lap, explaining just how bad that Miami team is (and how much worse they've gotten) under $8 million head coach Mario Cristobal, as the Hurricanes not only didn't belong on the same field as Florida State, but moreover they acted like they didn't even want or care to be there. Contrast that to a Seminoles squad that understood the importance of the rivalry and making a statement therein, as all phases of FSU (including backups) kept their foot on Miami's throat for 4 full quarters. Next, the guys gush over the play of the Florida State defense, with too many incredible individual and team efforts to list off in 30 minutes, including Jammie Robinson's disrespectful TFL (the highlight of which will live on forever in this rivalry), Fabien Lovett's uplifting presence for the defensive line and the defense as a whole, Tatum Bethune's homecoming statement, Jared Verse thanking Miami for only adding to his soon-to-be NFL paycheck, youngsters such as Patrick Payton and AZ Thomas showing out, and plenty more. Finally, they highlight the play of the offense, starting with a monstrous, Dalvin Cook-like performance in which he refused to be tackled by Miami's indifferent and undisciplined defenders, as well as an impressive performance by Jordan Travis (who wasn't asked and didn't have to do much in this one), incredible catches by Pokie Wilson and Johnny Wilson, and last but certainly not least a statement game from Florida State's offensive line giving JT13 all the time he needed and opening up running lanes for the Seminoles' stable of running backs (which didn't even need Treshaun Ward in this one).

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave continue Miami hate week and dig deeper into Florida State's matchup against the hapless Hurricanes, offering reasons why FSU should win resoundingly in this matchup and the implications of doing so, and bringing back a special guest (yup, it's Max!) to join in the fun! First, the guys discuss big picture issues with Mario Cristobal's Canes this season which are particularly exploitable in this matchup, including a putrid offense, first half scoring woes, and key defensive deficiencies, among many other things which revolved around the question: is there a massive regression around Tyler Van Dyke or is is the coaching and scheming of Josh Gattis and Mario Cristobal.  Next, they bring in a special guest that you know and love to discuss key statistical areas that Florida State should particularly look to exploit, including and especially explosiveness defense, which suits well an FSU offense that's thrived on chunk plays. If Middle Tennessee State could do it, Jordan Travis then should just have an absolute field day against the Canes right?  Finally, they weigh the implications of a Florida State win against the Hurricanes, especially on the recruiting trail, and discuss why this is a virtually must-win (and perhaps must-big-win) matchup. Implications around recruiting, perception and optics among her fanbase, Norvell and company have a chance to step up to the plate and go yard against the University of Coral Gables.  As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day.

    "Stay Schemin'": Breaking Down FSU's Offense, Defense and Jordan Travis Breakout with Xs and Noles Kevin Little

    Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave wanted to know what their eyes should be telling them about the performance of this Florida State team since Mike Norvell took over and throughout this Jekyll and Hyde-esque season, so they bring in a special guest—Kevin Little of X's and Noles (you absolutely should go check out their content). With Kevin's guidance, the guys dig into questions such as what's obviously improved the most on tape about this team since the start of the Norvell Era (hint: it's mostly on offense); how has Jordan Travis progressed the most as a passer during his time here; has JT13 actually been playing differently during Florida State's three-game losing streak (as compared to the ‘Noles four-game winning streak to start the year); whether fans are justified in their criticism of Adam Fuller's defense; why the defense has seemingly underperformed this year (or has it?) relative to preseason expectations; things we should hope to see differently out of the defense the remainder of the season; where Jordan Travis ranks among the ACC quarterback gauntlet; and expectations for the remainder of the season (spoiler alert: you get to hear about how Miami is a bad football team on tape!). You won't wanna miss that and much more in this episode, which is equal parts fun, informative, and relieving, thanks to Kevin Little!
