The Word on the Seminoles |

Florida State is loaded with talent, athleticism, and veterans (at least on offense), and now it'll be up to the new head man, Jimbo Fisher, to show he can produce. With a great piece to the puzzle...
College Football News
Given all the "new" around the Florida State football program, it makes sense that the Seminoles say they have a new attitude. Of course, such talk is common this time of year, but maybe there's something to it...
Orlando Sentinel
Outside of vaulting the Gators for state supremacy, everything else is in play for FSU in 2010 -- an ACC title,
a BCS bowl and a chance to become a permanent fixture among the country's top...
The Sporting News
Apparently the fan base is responding to Fisher and his enthusiasm for the program. He has a long way to catch Bowden in career victories, but he could re-energize the Florida State program on the national level...
Lindy's
Fisher, knowing FSU's player development must improve,
is taking creative steps. He is giving each a psychological test. He quadrupled the weight-room staff and requires players to eat every meal in the cafeteria...
Miami Herald
The hype surrounding Ponder is legit. He is an absolute playmaker with both his arm and his legs, and with the right supporting cast, Ponder is capable of taking the Seminoles back to the nation's forefront...
FOX Sports
It's not a burden. It's not a distraction. It's not even an inconvenience. The summer hype leading up to his senior season is something Christian Ponder talks about with a smile and a nod of disbelief...
Tallahassee Democrat
Ponder was spectacular last season until he was injured against Clemson, but unless the defense improves enough for the Seminoles to at least play in the ACC title game, Ponder will be a tough sell for the Heisman...
ESPN.com
The Seminoles go into the season with high expectations. At issue, is the defense. But if Mark Stoops can get his players to adjust to a radically different scheme and philosophy, this could be a big year for FSU...
USA Today
It's going to take an improved defense to win the Atlantic. Expect to see just that under new coordinator Mark Stoops. Offensively, the Noles should be among the most potent teams in the league...
Bleacher Report
The Seminoles are coming off one of their worst defensive seasons in memory. The defense should be better under Stoops, but FSU may need another recruiting class to get this unit among the best in the ACC...
Athlon
Christian Ponder has just about everything you'd want in a quarterback. He's got a strong arm. He's mobile and he's got good size. The only thing Ponder lacks is a title. He might get it this year, as the Noles...
