Elijah Herring painted a picture of the potential for Florida State’s offense — one where the Seminoles could make big plays. And then he portrayed an image of a Seminole giving the effort that is necessary for FSU’s defense to limit those big plays.
“The offense gave us a real freaky formation, something that you only see during the season,” Herring said. “We were a little bit confused. I was confused.”
Herring described the pass play and run after the catch, with the Memphis transfer taking the angle, tracking down and making a tackle at the 10-yard line. This play reflects the best of both worlds in Saturday's scrimmage, one where a formation causes confusion and allows for a playmaker to get open — but then allow the defense to learn how to collectively improve and see the value in a stop short of the goal line.
"I tell guys that you never know when your effort is going to be the deciding factor in the game," FSU coach Mike Norvell said. "That was an effort play that ended up springing a game-changing play. He’s someone I’m really pleased with."
