Seminoles taking advantage of some down time

By
TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA - Florida State&#39;s freshmen and less-experienced players will get more opportunities in practice this week, with the starters getting a bit of a rest. <br> <br> The Seminoles&#39; starters and top reserves practiced for about 50 minutes Tuesday, before those players on the lower tiers of the depth chart scrimmaged for the remainder of practice. <br> <br> ``It was good for them because it is about the only way they can get (game action),&#39;&#39; coach Bobby Bowden said. <br> <br> Fifth-ranked Florida State (2-0) is off until visiting Maryland on Sept. 14. That game will begin a stretch where the Seminoles will play 12 times in 13 weeks. <br> <br> Bowden said freshman running back Lorenzo Booker, who was redshirted at his request last week, was impressive during the scrimmage. <br> <br> ``He&#39;s got to be one of the quickest kids weve ever had here,&#39;&#39; Bowden said. <br> <br> Besides getting some of the younger players into some more game situations, Florida State will use the week to get some key players healthy. <br> <br> Starting defensive tackles Darnell Dockett and Jeff Womble, who are both nursing leg injuries, will spend most of the week concentrating on rehabilitation. <br> <br> ``We just want to keep on being lucky,&#39;&#39; Bowden said, referring to the lack of major injuries. ``Every year you see some team that has bunch of people go down. Last year that was us and I just hope we can stay healthy this year.&#39;&#39;
