Between a new defensive scheme and injuries to a few key players, opportunities are abundant for veterans and younger defensive backs to show what they can offer Florida State this spring.
“We're plenty big, athletic, strong, twitchy, fast, explosive — all the things you want to use,” defensive coordinator Tony White said on Saturday. “All the adjectives that you want to use. My deal is that you play football, that you put it on the grass.
“What good is jumping 40 inches if you don't do it when you lose every jump ball? Or you run 4.4 and you’re letting guys beat you to the football in pursuit. So it was really good to watch them just go out there and play.”
