Cook’s receiving could also help improve his National Football League draft stock since most expect this to be his last season at Florida State.

Florida State likely won’t be tested this week as it was against No. 19 MS on Monday in Orlando. Despite having the obvious opportunity to play at Doak Campbell Stadium, the nonconference affair is far less important to the Buccaneers’ season than their opening league game the following week.
“If that’s what I’ve got to do, I’ll do it”, said Cook about being more of a receiver. “I certainly didn’t realize this was falling through the cracks that way at all or we wouldn’t have done it”.
Charleston Southern says 16 players already have served suspensions over the first two games of the season and two more will serve a suspension later. “That’s what we’ve been about so it was good to see that”. “We’ve got to have turnovers”. He notched his first career interception and led FSU with eight tackles in a comeback win over Ole Miss last week.
Coach Jimbo Fisher said after the game James would have an MRI in the next two days.
Dalvin Cook ran for two touchdowns and had 83 yards on 11 carries. In last Monday’s win over No. 19 MS, he had career highs with seven receptions for 101 yards. In two games, Holloway has 194 yards on the ground and leads the FCS with four rushing touchdowns.
Charleston Southern, meanwhile, closed a trying week for the entire football program, which suspended 14 players – 10 of them starters – on Friday before the game.In all, 32 football players violated an NCAA financial aid rule related to school book purchases, earning each player a one-game suspension. The Buccaneers (1-2) feel behind 28-0 nothing in the first quarter but averted a shutout when Robert Mitchell threw a 57-yard touchdown to Kameron Brown late in the second quarter. “I saw that and knew I had like 10 yards between me and the next defender, so I just made it happen”. “We focused on who was”, coach Jamey Chadwell said. I was proud of the way they competed. Florida State won the game 52-8.
