Jimbo Fisher takes issue with Dave Doeren"s criticisms

It may not be wise to get trainers Jimbo Fisher of Florida State and Dave Doeren of North Carolina State in a room together anytime soon.

Doeren took several shots at FSU in the aftermath of the Seminoles’ 56-41 win over the Wolfpack on Saturday:

1. & quot;There was some incredible keeping by their offensive line that seemingly is invisible."

2. & quot;The rate we’d (in the first quarter) was operating until all of the wild drop-down things were going on as well as the clock kept stopping. You know the refs can not do anything about that, but it is terrible the way the pace gets slowed down by these harms. We went quickly in the first quarter; I estimate there were no imitation injuries."
