Florida State returns post-storm, bye week after rocky start

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State Semonles has returned to practice field following a bye week and in the wake of Hurricane Michael after a rocky start under first-year football coach Willie Taggart.

Hurricane Michael forced the school to shut down during the schedule off-week for football players. Taggart cut the practice schedule short and encouraged players to evacuate. All of the players returned safely, although defensive end Janarius Robinson, a Panama City, Florida native, lost his home when Hurricane Michael's eyewall came ashore just a few miles away.

Robinson returned to the team and practiced on Tuesday.
