Over the last week, a common complaint has found a home amidst head coach Mike Norvell's practice evaluations — missed opportunities. Even when complimentary of his team's mindset, approach, execution and potential, he's found himself repeatedly expressing disappointment in the lack of fully taking advantage of moments that hold even more weight when the season rolls around, particularly on the defensive side. “We've had some opportunities to to create takeaways defensively, left a few of them out there, really within all three groups,” he said following Thursday's practice in Jacksonville. “Plenty of people are happy with PBU. We're not PBU University. We're DBU University. You got to go make the play. Go finish the play, put yourself in position. You have to be able to finish in those moments — when you're back there [during a game], the entire stadium when a defensive player is “oh, oh man.” Those are game-changers, ones that absolutely impact the course of all things, so it's one of the things we're really emphasizing — the focus to the finish.“ The hope is that the Seminoles' road trip to Jacksonville, an annual excursion under Norvell, will accelerate both the understanding of expectations and the team-building that occurs in the dog days of summer. “They understand the opportunity that we have,” Norvell said. “You get an opportunity to come be in a place where it's just us and our guys know that. Everybody's got their own unique journey, our own backstories and when you get to spend time together and get to know a little bit more of somebody's why, when you get to really spend more of that quality time, it just continues to bring you together.” Defensive line coach Terrance Knighton's backstory includes Jacksonville, where he spent three years after being selected by the Jaguars in the 2009 NFL Draft, a fact not lost on lineman Deante McCray — himself having spent time in Duval. “It's awesome to be in a room like that,” McCray said. “Like he's been where we're all trying to get to. So, we're going to listen to what he says. He's really relatable. He's seen it. He's coached it. He's seen it all. Like, you know what I'm saying? That's a guy where you believe everything he says. No question. Like, he wants you to run in a wall 100 miles per hour, you gonna run into a wall 100 miles per hour.” Knighton has seen his example embraced by his unit, to a degree that they've begun emulating his personality. Asked if he brought up any tales from his days in a Jaguars uniform, he said his players beat him to the punch. “They do it all the time. They give me crap about it,” he joked, saying “they pull up old YouTube videos and things like that — obviously I tell them I was the best ever, so they go and look for film on it. We have a good time with it, they were like, “Oh, coach, you're back in Jacksonville. Are you going to cry?” And then all you know, all this stuff. But we have a good time, man, you always know your group as a position coach takes on your personality. So, I'm used to the banter and the locker room talk. So, we're having a lot of fun with it.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Florida State football, with 24 days remaining until the season opener against the Alabama Crimson Tide, is in the midst of what head coach Mike Norvell called a “critical, critical week” following Tuesday's scrimmage. Strapping up in full pads for the first time this fall, the Seminoles are now hoping to build upon the initial foundation established through six days of camp and chip away at the mental mistakes that Norvell says are keeping the team from fully elevating to the standard he's seeking. "You felt guys playing emotional, with energy, excitement,” he said on a post-scrimmage video conference with the media. “There were some things we absolutely gotta get cleaned up, had some foolish penalties that showed up tonight that kind of cost the team in moments. We gotta be more disciplined in some aspects of that, but I thought it was a good first scrimmage. You kind of get a sense of exactly where we are.” Offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and defensive coordinator Tony White, both in their first years in Tallahassee, spoke with the media today to offer their own insight into the scrimmage and what they've seen from the team so far. Tuesday's scrimmage reportedly featured the offense getting to a hot start, taking advantage of second-chances provided by slip-ups on the defensive side. While they managed to regain their footing as the night continued, White said the self-inflicted issues had a lingering impression on his evaluation of their performance. “First scrimmages, you're always going to have some good plays and bad plays,” White said. “I think there are some just the thing that stands out are certain performances, some guys that you thought may play a little bit better did not, and some guys who you didn't know how they were going to play really perform well. “And so the biggest disturbing thing was the penalties. I think we had a couple unsportsmanlike penalties, lined up offside a couple times, misalignments, things like that that really bug you. They extend drives. Two of those penalties actually ended up where we stop them, we get a penalty and then they go on to score. So those really those are the things that you need to control, which you can.” Malzahn said the scrimmage featured the first time that “our 11 guys were out there togther,” alluding to the health issues that plagued the team in the spring and potentially hitting that the depth chart is on its way to being solidified, as well as acknowledging that the early hot start was intentional, saying “the first half was pretty basic with what they did defensively so we could really evaluate our guys.” “The second half, everybody played football,” he continued. “From a big picture standpoint, it was good for us from an evaluation standpoint to see what guys could do, who's ready, who's not, who needs work — just really putting the pieces of the puzzle together. I mean, what are we 23 24 days away? The urgency of putting everything together because the way things went in the spring is really high, so these next six practices are going to be very very important before we really start turning the page for Alabama.” Learn more about your ad choices.
