On3 imageby: Aslan Hajivandi09/01/25AslanHodges

FSU players had the day off from practice on Monday, a standard practice during the regular season — as well as classes with the Labor Day holiday.

FSU head coach Mike Norvell held his regularly scheduled weekly in the late morning and offered his support to freshman linebacker Ethan Pritchard who suffered a gunshot wound on Sunday and then reflected on the 31-17 win over Alabama.

“I felt we were a dominant team and it was a dominant team win,” said Norvell. “You saw speed, physicality and a team that believed.”

“What I loved about it is we won by two scores and I’m kind of pissed off it wasn’t by more.”
