FSU football has always been about family for Mike Norvell, so it was no surprise to see the Seminoles rally around freshman linebacker Ethan Pritchard this week. Pritchard was the victim of a shooting this past week and remains hospitalized in stable, but critical, condition.
Saturday's 77-3 win over East Texas A&M was a chance for the entire FSU community to embrace the Pritchard family, and they did not disappoint. Pritchard's father, Earl, was on the sideline with the team during the game, and, after the victory, he had the honor of breaking the rock.
