FSU fans relive 2013 glory with Bryan Stork’s goal-line video

Bryan Stork wants you to get pumped for the weekend.

The former FSU center just dropped an eight-minute video of a goal-line session during spring camp in 2013. It's the sort of physical combat that explains exactly why that Seminole team put so much boot to backside. 

We're all still diving into Freddie Stevenson's interview with Jimbo Fisher and a lot of great stories are coming to the surface. One of them was the marathon goal-line session from spring camp. The former FSU coach said that practice was when he knew he potentially had.

"We're going to goal line and I said 'we're not tough enough' and both sides are mouthing...I said 'let's just see how tough you guys...let's just see if you're tough enough," Fisher recalls saying.

There's so much to unpack here. The fourth clip is James Wilder, who was 6-foot-2, 230 pounds of pure strength and muscle, getting completely stood up by Lamarcus Joyner - someone that I believe was the best pound-for-pound FSU football player of the 21st century. 

About the four-minute mark, you see Wilder digging in against the Seminole defense and Jameis Winston doing his version of the tush push to get his running back in the end zone. Yeah, Jameis was a different dude. 

In the next clip, you see Joyner and linebacker Christian Jones meet big ole fullback Chad Abram in the hole and drive him back. Every play looked like a violent collision. These Seminoles lined up against their toughest opponent every day in practice.

Fisher: When they were mad, they were better

"What was funny is the more physical it got and the harder they hit each other, the more they liked it," Fisher said. "That team, the madder it got, the better they played."

Champions don't just come out of nowhere. It takes talent and work. Those guys were immensely talented - The ACC coaches placed 11 players on the All-ACC First Team. Winston, Stork and Joyner were consensus All-Americans while seven other players were All-Americans in at least one outlet. 23 players on that roster were drafted. 

But they also worked harder than any other team in the country. Every day, it was iron sharpening iron. No one that stepped on those practice fields gave an inch. And on Saturdays that fall we all saw the fruits of their labor. 

Say what you want, but the numbers don't lie.
