Florida State took the lead on a touchdown pass from DJ Uiagalelei to Ja'Khi Douglas in the fourth quarter while the defense held Cal scoreless on four of its five drives in the second half. That included the final possession of the game when the Golden Bears entered the red zone but the Seminoles sent them tumbling backwards to finish off the victory.Following the win, head coach Mike Norvell spoke with the media to provide his thoughts on Florida State advancing to 1-3.
Q. You mentioned the energy from the team this week. Felt like Edwin Joseph during the week of practice, you can feel it and sense it when we were out there. To see it translate over to the game, the journey he's had, what can you say about the preparation to succeed tonight? MIKE NORVELL: All. We needed every bit of it. From the stop -- coming out I thought we were able to establish the run game offensively there early. That Cal defense, they've been pretty good. They're a good defense. They got good players. We knew there he was of going to be some challenges that would show up. I thought our guys, they fought. Got a really good start early.
Q. I know you had a lot of optimism; a lot of people did about what this defensive line, especially that starting four, could be. How nice is it seeing? Not the start I'm sure they imagined to the season, but Josh, Pat, Marvin, just all the plays those guys made at a very high level? Q. You mentioned the run game. Seemed like the offensive line was firing off maybe a little bit more. What did you see from the offensive line tonight?
