Almost Go Time!
FSU football is gearing up for its first scrimmage on Saturday night under the lights at Doak Campbell Stadium. This situational scrimmage will focus on critical aspects like short-yardage situations, goal-line scenarios, and other game-like conditions. Unlike a traditional scrimmage, this won’t feature two teams playing a full game; that format is reserved for the final scrimmage of the camp. However, this event is crucial for players aiming to solidify their positions on the depth chart. While the scrimmage will be closed to the public, head coach Mike Norvell is known for his candid post-scrimmage media briefings. Here are three key areas to watch for after the scrimmage.
1. Quarterback Performance
Key questions surround the quarterback position, particularly DJ Uiagalelei and, to a lesser extent, Brock Glenn. Observers will be keen to know:
- How well did they perform overall?
- Did they make the correct checks at the line of scrimmage?
- Were their post-snap decisions sound?
- Did they protect the football and avoid turnovers?
- How effective was their chemistry with receivers, tight ends, and running backs in the passing game?
While FSU is expected to have a strong running game, the success of the passing game will be a significant factor in determining the overall effectiveness of the offense in 2024.
