Here are some of the notes from tonight's Jimbo Fisher call-in show:

* Jimbo said Dalvin Cook did tweak his ankle a little in Monday's game, but not even a sprain. Should be fine.

* Jimbo says he moved Randy Sanders to coaches' box this year to give him another set of eyes up top for a young QB. Tim Brewster now on sideline.

* Young caller asks Fisher if "No. 12" is going to be your starting quarterback. (With big smile) "Right now he definitely is."

* Fisher follows up by saying that Sean Maguire will be back to full speed soon and they need all the good QBs they can get.

* Fisher asked about an officiating issue and says he wasn't happy with 5 or 6 calls Monday.

* Caller asks Jimbo about the false starts: Says it wasn't all OL. 2 on tight end and 1 on WR. Not sure what caused, maybe "anxiety."

* Fisher following up on the illegal motions: "Those are ridiculous. Those are never acceptable and shouldn't ever happen." With a smile, he said they'll make some personnel changes if they continue.

* Fisher said he did not agree with two holding calls -- one on Eberle and one on Leonard. On refs: "They were looking for something to do."

* Jimbo says Matthew Thomas' speed is like having another DB with the size and length of a linebacker. Very happy with how he played Monday.

* Caller asks Fisher if he'll give his "Bleep-Bleep-Bleep" speech at halftime again or use in pregame. Fisher says he hopes he won't have to again.

* Jimbo asked about Travis Rudolph and Bo Paske. And he mentions that Bo and his mom were at FSU practice today.

* Jimbo also said ESPN's Gene Wojciechowski is here doing a story on Travis and Bo. (assuming for GameDay)

* Fisher asked about Francois' toughness. "That's what playing quarterback is." Says QB has to be tough because team takes personality.

* Fisher asked about Francois' throw to Dalvin down sideline between 2 defenders. Fisher says it's one of toughest throws for a quarterback -- because it has to have enough pace to get there but also touch. And the RB has to trust the QB to not get him killed. "A big-time throw."
