Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, per usual, discussed a number of topics during his 10-minute period of the ACC Teleconference on Wednesday. Fisher was asked multiple questions about FSU's upcoming opponent, Louisville, his assessment of Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya plus the growth he has seen in Dalvin Cook as a player and person.
>Fisher opened by saying he was proud of the way FSU played against Miami in a 29-24 win. It was the first time all season the Seminoles were down in a game and the team stormed back to score in the fourth while piecing together consecutive defensive stands. He immediately said the attention now turns to Louisville.
>Every opponent has captured Fisher's attention. He's been able to speak in great detail about personnel or scheme. Fisher has discussed both facets in great detail when it come to Louisville. He was able to run through players on both sides of the ball. One player who was mentioned was Cardinals freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson. Said FSU recruited Jackson. And as luck would have it, there's a story on the site now about Jackson.
>Redshirt senior transfer Everett Golson played against Louisville in his final season at Notre Dame in 2014. Golson threw for two touchdowns and an interception in a 31-27 loss. Fisher was asked about the difference in Golson from a year ago. Fisher was honest in saying he couldn't answer the question because he didn't have Golson last year. He did say Golson has made strides since coming to Florida State. He referred back to a statement he made earlier in the week about Golson making plays with his "arm, legs and mind."
>Fisher was asked about the growth he's seen in Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya over the last year. Fisher said Kaaya has developed into being a comfortable figure at the line of scrimmage He also noted "nothing ever goes too fast" for the sophomore. Kaaya became the first quarterback since 2010 to throw for more than 400 yards against FSU.
>His final segment about Dalvin Cook was both small and big picture. Fisher was asked about Cook overcoming his summer legal situation. He said he was "glad the truth came out" and that Cook "has never been a problem for us" during his time at FSU. The conversation shifted into how whether you're a football player or not, there are lessons to be learned from bad situations. Fisher said it can be used as a teaching moment so young men and women can be aware of their surroundings and their associates so they can make the best possible decision.
