The FSU Seminoles, beaten with their pride bruised, try to get well this week against USF.
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher spoke Monday after his team was drubbed 63-20 by Louisville last week. IN particular, he praised defensive coordinator Charles Kelly.
“You go back to work,” Fisher said. “Worrying about it ain’t going to change it. Going back to work, and knowing, trusting in yourself, trusting you know ball, how you do it. You have bad games, people question you all the time. It’s easy. When you’re in charge, everybody is going to question you. Everybody has answers. You know what I’m saying. Believe in yourself, go back to work. As I say, eliminate the clutter. You can’t worry about it.”
As for Kelly, Fisher defended his assistant.
“Fans are emotional,” Fisher said. “We’re all emotional. Hey, I want everything perfect. I want everything perfect in everything. That’s not reality. We have to coach and do what we do, know what we know, believe in ourselves. I believe in him and our staff and what we’re doing, and we’ll go coach.”
Next for the Seminoles is a trip to Tampa to play the USF Bulls.
“Now we go play an outstanding team,” Fisher said. “They’ve always had outstand player. It’ll be a heck of a challenge for us to see who we’re going to be. Who are we?”
