Happy hump day, Florida State fans. We’ll do our best to keep you up to date on the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Just more than a month after beating Michigan in the Orange Bowl, Florida State started its offseason conditioning program known as “Fourth Quarter Drills” on Tuesday.
Florida State is coming off a fifth straight 10-win season and a No. 8 national ranking. The Seminoles will have to replace key players like running back and all-time leading rusher Dalvin Cook and sacks leader DeMarcus Walker, but have plenty of talent coming back, headlined by 2016 ACC Rookie of the Year, Deondre Francois, the team’s starting quarterback and safety Derwin James.
Florida State will likely begin spring practice in mid-March before wrapping up the spring on April 8 with the Garnet and Gold game, which will return to Tallahassee after a 1-year stint in Orlando, so that renovations could be made to Doak Campbell Stadium. FSU will open the 2017 season in Atlanta against Alabama on Sept. 2.
