The Florida State football team held the first practice of the spring Monday
afternoon in Tallahassee. The Seminoles worked out in shorts for 26 periods,
spending most of the day on fundamentals within their segment. Per NCAA
rules, FSU will practice again Tuesday afternoon in shorts, Wednesday in
shells, and then go to full pads Friday with an off-day scheduled for
Thursday. While the team mainly focused on the basics, the coaches did mix
in some 7-on-7 pass skeleton scrimmaging. Drew Weatherford hit Chris Davis
for a 40-yard gain down the sideline against Tony Carter, who bounced back
on the next play and broke up a pass. Weatherford again hit Davis for 20
yards and later found Greg Carr, who reached over a defender for a 30-yard
reception. J.R. Bryant had an interception off true freshman Christian
Ponder while Geno Hayes and Toddrick Verdell added pass break-ups. The
Seminoles will return to practice Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
