Noles News Now: Soccer, volleyball, football all prep for season openers

Happy Monday... Welcome in to Noles News Now, your audio home for all things Florida State sports on the Tomahawk Nation podcast network. I'm your host Brian Pellerin. Getting you caught up on the weekend that was for FSU athletics. The biggest headline for you, it's the final non game week Monday of the offseason. Next Monday will be the beggining of game week for the Seminoles week zero matchup with Duquesne. Football really just more than a week away in Tallahassee. Part of that work towards opening day has been their identity week with a trip to UNF for some camp away from home. That led into their second scrimmage of the fall this weekend and again, most of the feedback from the coaches has been positive. He said he's proud of the team's passion and competitiveness through the scrimmage. The Noles also starting to find the playmakers in the passing game with Johnny Wilson, Mycah Pittman, Duece Spann and Malik McClain standing out this weekend. Norvell did mention the team has some procedural things to clean up -- namely penalties -- before the season gets started. He says the focus heading into this week is simple... continuing getting better. For some more camp notes and a look at the biggest questions of the 2022 season, check out this week's Seminole Wrap podcast available now wherever you hear this podcast. It's our final preseason episode before we go into game preview and recap episodes next week. Elsewhere on campus, the Florida State soccer team held its final scrimmage of the fall.
