Mike Norvell says he sees FSU's special teams buy-in in team meetings that is buoyed by success. Says Renardo Green was still working as a punt gunner late in FSU's win over Wake Forest, also praises Ja'Khi Douglas, Lawrance Toafili, Jarrian Jones for their special teams impact
Mike Norvell asked about the reasoning behind why his teams normally improve over the course of a season. "It's about the work." He adds that him and his sports performance staff sit down in the summer to create a plan for peaking at the right time.
Mike Norvell says he thinks FSU's pass defense success is a product of all three levels. There were some communication issues early in the season but the defensive staff has spent a lot of time building the defense's confidence.
"I was pleased with the way our guys battled." "I thought our 3rd down defense and 3rd down offense was extraordinary." Mike Norvell pleased with FSU's effort vs. Wake. Updates here at Noles247: https://t.co/LZ2B4w2DcO
