Mike Norvell has emphasized Florida State's need for an "edge" dating back to his first spring booster tour stop in Orlando in February and then a pre-spring press conference in mid-March.
And for the first time, that lack of an edge popped up as FSU's coach critiqued Tuesday's practice.
"Today’s practice was up and down," Norvell said. "I thought there were good moments. I thought the defense had a good response at the end. There were times in practice where I didn’t feel the edge that’s necessary.
"We got challenged, held accountable and we’re going to be better than what we were today. For the standard and expectation of what this football team needs to be, we got to respond."
