The R is missing. But firing Mike Novell would be cheaper

Analysis as the Seminoles return to the field off a second bye: Can FSU still run without Kromah? Will FSU defeat a rival? Can the defense make modest improvements? Will FSU go bowling? theosceola.com/p/optimist-re…

#FSU OL coach Herb Hand, when asked about Xavier Chaplin's holding penalty in double OT at Miami. "He did exactly as he was coached to do. That’s a technique that we teach. That is a sound technique in fundamentals and we’ll continue to teach it and our guys will continue to execute it."

Dabo's definition of a few plays is off by ... a few plays
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is here for his pre-Florida State presser. Dabo: "Really good football team. I know this isn't what anyone wants to hear, but they (FSU) are a few plays away from being undefeated. I know their coaches know that. They're 3-4, a few plays away from 7-0"

About as candid as we've seen from a school's president
In the "second tier" of college sports' caste system, Miami is positioning itself for a conference move while exploring football independence and fighting against a federal bill. "If we have to go independent," the president says, "I like our chances." bit.ly/3UKPRN3

Coach Amato was DC/LB coach at NCSU while Cowher played there.
RIP Coach Amato. Thank you for your influence and guidance in shaping me as a young LB from Western PA coming down to @PackFootball. You showed me tough love when I needed it & taught me Commitment, Sacrifice & Teamwork. You'll be missed, but your legacy will NEVER be forgotten!

Mike Norvell on the Duce Robinson-Bryce Fitzgerald battle on the second Hail Mary: "From what I've been told, simultaneous possession never even came up in the conversation of review ... You got two guys going up for a catch, and they both come to the ground. That has to be a part of the discussion."

Mike Norvell on the fourth-down holding call, on the first Hail Mary attempt at Miami: "The holding call, it was an absolute joke. ... That moment, that play, it's just a shame."

Mike Norvell, in his opening statement: "We’re not in the business of being close. We're not in the any moral victories of it … I told them yesterday, told the staff, I'm a proud coach for how a team played."
