Noles In Full Pads

The seminoles had their first practice in full pads Monday. If you are not already fired up for the season then now is the time to start, pads are on and some crunching is sure to follow. Jimbo is emphasizing safety and looking to minimize injuries in practices, but that won't keep the defense from laying out some hits. It's just natural for the young talent to try to show off and the veterans to put them in their place. The next two weeks of practice should start to show some evidence of how the offense and defense are shaping up. The Noles are coming off an ACC championshhip in baseball and are hoping to grab another this year in football depsit the hype around Miami and high ranked Virginia Tech.
