Should be starting around 1 or shortly after. Will have updates here.
Looking back at Wake, Fisher said the offense was very efficient until the last 10 plays. Defensively, he said they had some trouble with Wake's run/pass option game. Said had some silly penalties on defense. "Silly penalties I don't agree with" ... taking little shot at the refs.
On Dalvin, said he won't do anything the next day or two. Not as drastic as they thought. Said healing depends on the person. Said he's usually a quick healer, but will have to see.
On Golson: I thought he played better. Much better. Talking about how efficient they were. This seems the happiest he's been with the offense all season. "I thought he took a lot of steps forward."
Fisher has made several grunts about the officiating. Will see if he opens up more about it.
Fisher said they did a really good job on the OL of picking up blitzes. Said the backs, TEs and OL did a very nice job with that. Said Wake blitzed 60 percent of the time ... that's why they threw so much. He's much happier with the OL.
On the RBs ... if Cook can't go, said he feels very comfortable with Vickers and Patrick. Said they'll get Patrick in there more going forward. Liked what he saw out of Vickers.
On the Miami game ... Fisher said this is the kind of game all the players want to play in.
On Featherston ... Fisher said he could have played Saturday but when he didn't get in, he got a little tight so they didn't want to risk him by putting him in second half. Part of problem was quick first half.
On Miami ... said they do a lot offensively that's similar to FSU. (Not surprisingly because of Coley running the offense ... those are my words not Jimbo's)
On Yearby ... said he's got "all the qualities that a great back have." Said the Miami Central backfield of Cook and Yearby ranks with all the great ones he's ever seen.
On the defensive injuries ... said he was pleased with how the defense played with all of the changes they had to make. Really praising Derwin James' ability to come in and work at different positions as a freshman.
Back to the RBs ... said Patrick will play. Very confident in him. Said he's practiced well.
Said Miami's WRs will challenge FSU downfield more than any team has so far.
On the lack of pass rush, Jimbo said a big part of the problem at Wake was that the Deacons were throwing out of running plays like a lot of spread offenses do. The defense was getting run reads, but then the QB would pull up and throw. That's why he hates that rule about OL being 3 yards downfield.
On the young WRs, said some are getting closer to playing but some aren't. Said Campbell's missed time in camp really set him back. Has hurt him getting consistency down. But said still going to be a great player.
On the officiating, Fisher he really likes the new head of ACC officials. Said he's communicating with him every week. Definitely turning in calls this week.
On Hoefeld at center, he said he played well. Some mistakes but played well. Also pleased with what he saw from Mavety getting on field some.
Mario Pender is still in the hospital. Making progress but still not sure when will be released.
That's about it for now. Will have the video up soon.
