Summary
Florida State’s first live fall-camp scrimmage put the offense and defense through 70-80 plays in full pads, with Mike Norvell saying the team showed explosive plays and looked “in a pretty good place.”
Communication, alignment and tempo were the main evaluation points in the sixth practice, with extended drives and red-zone work testing whether fundamentals from the first five sessions carried into game-like action.
Ashton Daniels drew praise for his command of the offense and third-down throws, while Kevin Sperry connected with Jasen Lopez on a deep shot and Lopez also factored into the return game.
Ousmane Kromah was called exceptional through camp, Micahi Danzy scored a touchdown, and Ashlynd Barker made multiple plays at rover as Norvell also highlighted Chris Jones, the linebacker group and the Desir twins.
Malachi Marshall missed the scrimmage, a few other players were sidelined or hurt, and Norvell said Florida State is still working through the unusual 2022-class eligibility issue tied to the “5-for-5” ruling.
