Everything Norvell said after the Seminoles took down Virginia Tech in Doak Campbell Stadium.
The Seminoles started out fast, punching Virginia Tech in the mouth en route to a 22-0 advantage in the opening quarter. The Hokies responded with a 17-0 run of their own over the second and third frames but it wasn't enough as Florida State worked through the struggles to come away with a 39-17 victory.Following the win, head coach Mike Norvell spoke with the media to provide his thoughts on Florida State advancing to 5-0. His full comments from the post-game presser are transcribed below.
Q. Obviously Trey gave you a great day, but in general, the running attack, Jordan also getting involved in it, just how pleased were you coming out of the bye?It was good. We talked about wanting to be able to establish the ground game. We take what teams give us, and there were some opportunities that were created. I thought our backs ran really hard. I thought the O-line created some good seams for them to run through. I tell you, there were some unbelievable blacks.
Talk about a total back, I mean, there are a lot of guys situational. He can really do it all. He embraces that in his work ethic and the things he does. And he's unselfish, which when you have a humble and unselfish player, he's there when another back is in there, whether it's Rodney, LT, whoever it is, he's the one that's there cheering them on louder than anybody. He's just what we want our program to be built like and he's a great leader for that.
Good to see them get back out. Be able to work a little bit of rotation there at safety. Conrad Hussey made some really big plays, true freshman. Blake Nichelson got in there as a true freshman. I was really proud of those guys coming off the guy week, being able to make a positive impact for us. You know, thought it was a good game for that.
Q. In that second quarter, you guys could not have been more dominant in the first quarter, did you sense any of what you saw at BC in the second quarter, or...There were some penalties that extended drives with the interception that was overturned that would've been a huge play in the game. We had couple other things that showed up. We had -- one of our drives offensively we had a penalty that negated what would've been a conversion.
