Florida State football played its first scrimmage of its fall camp Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell and defensive coordinator Adam Fuller spoke following the scrimmage, with Norvell saying he was happy with what he saw from his team.
“I thought it was a good work night tonight, I think we got about 120 plays,” Norvell said. “Good work from the majority of the guys on the team, we were able to get in all three groups.”
“I thought it was an active scrimmage.”
With some of the Seminoles’ best players taking limited reps, Norvell said Saturday’s scrimmage gave some of the younger players on the team a chance to impress. He singled out freshman wide receiver Elijah Moore as one of the players that impressed him.
While Moore was a standout, Norvell said he felt the wide receivers left a few big plays on the table with some drops. Despite some of the missed moments, Norvell is excited about what the receiving corps can do this season.
“There was definitely some good moments, but we still had a couple of missed opportunities,” Norvell said. “I feel good about the group that we have, I feel good about the guys that have been performing at a high level. We are trying to get a sense of what the rotation is going to look like… there were some good moments, but also plays we left out there that we got to get better at.”
Norvell was happy with his quarterbacks, with DJ Uiagalelei impressing him with his command of the offense and his ability to lead them down the field.
The Seminoles are currently still scheduled to have a normal practice week and head to Jacksonville for two days of camp, but Norvell said the program is monitoring the potential impacts of now Tropical Storm Debby.
