Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave dive head first into Spring Practice talk, discussing their biggest wants for the team this spring.

First, they both choose the offensive side of the ball, with Dave excited to see another dimension added to the offense via a revamped tight end room featuring heralded transfers Jaheim Bell from South Carolina and Kyle Morlock from Shorter University, while Drake can’t wait to see the highly-touted former All Big-12 transfer receiver Winston Wright take his first snaps in a Seminole uniform after missing the 2022 campaign due to injury. Will the 2023 offense look like the greatest show on turf with these additions?

Next, they both head to the defensive side of the ball, with Dave eager to see who steps up to replace the production and leadership of star safety Jammie Robinson (all eyes are on Akeem Dent), while Drake has his attention cued to the cornerback room, where Patrick Surtain was brought it to better coach up an inconstant unit loaded to the brim with talent and potential.

Finally, they discuss their biggest luxury wants from spring, with Drake hoping to see Caziah Holmes step up into the evidently up-for-grabs RB2 spot following Treshaun Ward’s transfer (and as a bonus, Drake is expecting an even better interior DL), while Dave wants to see a defensive end blossom opposite Jared Verse to form a more well-rounded, multi-faceted pass rush and run defense.

As always, thanks for making Locked On Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave reassess their feelings on Florida State’s 2023 football schedule, breaking it down into the big test (LSU), the games you should win if you’re good, and the ones people think will/might/should be tough (rivalries and Clemson).

First, Drake and Dave tackle the biggest, most obvious, and most immediate test for the Seminoles in their 2023 campaign - a week 1 game against the LSU Tigers - and explain why the Seminoles should still be favored to win that game (despite all the hype surrounding LSU), and why it will set the tone for the remainder of Florida State’s season, especially early on. Then, they discuss the meat of FSU’s schedule, including numerous conference games against teams that may have given the ‘Noles trouble in recent years but which should be much worse this season, such as Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Wake Forest, and Pitt, and explain why FSU must beat each those teams convincingly if it truly is to be a playoff contender. Finally, they discuss the three games that many expect to be tough tests for Florida State - namely Clemson, Miami, and Florida - with Dave explaining why he now considers Florida and Miami easy wins, and the guys relishing in the fact that the Seminoles catch Clemson so early in the Cade Clubnik + new coordinator experience.

As always, thanks for making Locked On Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

With practice starting on March 6 for Mike Norvell and company, this is the prime chance for kids to make a name for themselves. While it seems the whole offensive line is set for the start of the 2023 season, players like a Bryson Estes and Bless Harris are two of several options to push for more playing time and competition with the starters and Florida State Football fans will really want to know how Brian Courtney and Jackson West are doing in the TE room under the tutelage of Coach Chris Thomsen. 

Defensively, is this the spring of the Boogeyman aka Byron Turner Jr.? Will the hiring of Patrick Surtain as defensive backs coach be what it takes to unlock the potential of Travis Jay and help talented returners Omarion Cooper and Kevin Knowles? Will Randy Shannon be right in his evaluation of Omar Graham Jr. and will sunshine aka Tim Riggins aka Blake Nichelson, push for snaps in his true freshman season? All that and some 2024 recruiting class stock talk to wrap up your Wednesday!

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave assess Bill Connelly and ESPN’s newest batch of preseason SP+ ratings, and Florida State’s place in the rankings at #11.

Now joining the slew of national media and college football analysts choosing FSU as a playoff contender in 2023 is the advanced metrics, as FSU checks in at #11 in Bill Connelly’s newly-released SP+ ratings. According to Connelly and ESPN, the Seminoles rank as the 26th best offense and the 8th best defense in the country. Drake and Dave break down whether Florida State’s overall ranking is appropriate, why it’s an obvious glitch in the formula that the defense ranks substantially ahead (or ahead at all) of the offense, who above the ‘Noles actually belongs above them, what it would mean for FSU’s season and playoff chances if its defense is actually better than its offense, why Florida’s #20 ranking is so comically wrong, and much more!

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave ask and try to answer the questions standing in the way of a playoff appearance/championship for Florida State in 2023!

The college football world has already made a darling pick to make a playoff appearance in 2023, after a resurgent 10-win season fueled by the breakout of star QB Jordan Travis. The Seminoles return the vast majority of snaps on both offense and defense, including numerous players who spurned NFL opportunities to return, and lost only a couple of key contributors while bringing in even more proven talent through the transfer portal.

With all of that said, Dave asks whether the offensive line play can improve enough in 2023 to be better-than-good or great, and whether FSU can reach or win a championship game without great/elite offensive line play. Then, Drake asks whether Florida State’s defense can improve its consistency on a down-to-down, series-to-series, and game-by-game basis, after an up-and-down 2022 campaign that vacillated at times between bend-but-don’t-break and break-but-don’t-bend. Finally, the guys ask whether Jordan Travis can be one of the 5 best QBs in college football in 2023, and whether that level of play will be required to mask other deficiencies and give Florida State a chance at playoff contention.

As always, thanks for making Locked On Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave continue the way-too-early position previews, finishing the offensive side of the ball with the big guys up front along the offensive line.

Once again in 2023, Florida State’s defensive line appears to be the most talented, sure-thing of any position group on the roster. In 2022, the Seminoles figured to boast one of the premier interior defensive lines in the nation, but had a massive void to fill on the edge after Jermaine Johnson etched his name in FSU lore and earned himself a pick in the first round of the NFL Draft - which highly-anticipated newcomer transfer Jared Verse was expected to help fill. By season’s end, Verse had lived up to the hype and become one of the most feared and disruptive pure pass rushers in the ACC and nationally, and Fabien Lovett demonstrated the stark difference in the defensive play as a whole when without him in the lineup, meanwhile youngsters such as Patrick Payton and Joshua Farmer forced their way into playing time, complementing a high-throttle offensive and helping the Seminoles to a 10-win season. Florida State brings back mostly all key contributors along the defensive line, including Verse and Lovett, and adds even more key, proven talent from the transfer portal, in Braden Fiske, Darrell Jackson, and Gilber Edmond, giving the Seminoles enormous quality depth.

With that in mind, Drake and Dave discuss expectations and performance of the defensive line in 2022, wants, needs, and room for improvement for the defensive line play in 2023, and breakout candidates who could force their way into a starting spot in a crowded and talented defensive line by season’s end.

As always, thanks for making Locked On Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.
