Florida State offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. and defensive coordinator Tony White spoke on Wednesday, recapping FSU's scrimmage.
Harris Jr. focused on communication and tempo, saying the offense's install has to move faster than most because of the volume FSU's defense throws at it in practice. He said Ashton Daniels' confidence has grown daily and that he handled pre-snap adjustments flawlessly in Tuesday's scrimmage, with Kevin and Dean also getting positive reviews. Harris pointed to yards after contact as a season-long emphasis for the running backs, also noting Tre Wisner was held out of the scrimmage with a minor issue. He also said Tuesday marked the first true dry run of game-day operation (press box staffed, sideline communication and iPads used as they would be in a game) and called it clean.
White said he left the scrimmage angry but changed his mind after watching the film, calling the sideline operation better than nearly any point last season and the tackling cleaner than a typical first scrimmage. He described a disruptive defensive line with a couple of sacks and roughly 10 tackles for loss, and credited the group's offseason work for turning thinking into instinct. He also said the remaining camp work shifts to situational football, and named conditioning as the one thing that still has to improve
The Seminoles are now in Jacksonville for their annual Duval excursion, holding three practices at UNF from Wednesday to Saturday.
