Welcome to On the Bench. I got Chris Ney and Brendan Senone. We're back for another action-packed episode.

We are here to break down some of the X's and O's after the rewatch, the FSU UNC game.

We're also going to get into some recruiting as FSU hits the by-week.

I got Chris and Brendan here with me. I want to start with what Mike Norville said after FSU stunned UNC over the weekend.

This is a quote from Mike during the presser.

I really believe this is a new team and this is a team that's investing the work in all areas.

The way that they're working on the field off the field in the weight room in every aspect.

They're trying to push and improve in who they are, what they're about, and they do believe.

Mike Norville was basically saying this is a new team. Chris, you were there on the ground for this.

Do you believe we are seeing a real transformation?

I think we're in the process of attempting one. I kind of calm this up.

Essentially that FSU is working really hard to make believers out of themselves.

And that's where it starts. It doesn't matter what the outside noise says or what any of us says.

It's about that team buying in and believing in what they can and cannot be and excelling out what they can be.

I think Saturday was a mighty good step in that direction.

We saw a defensive positive improvements that were definitely directly related to things done in practice.

That's a good thing to see a translation of that offensively.

The identity has become established.

I know who and what they are and what they can do.

And when they excel at that, they're actually pretty damn good as we saw on Saturday.

Now there's small margin of errors on both sides of those balls with those type of things.

But I think we're definitely seeing some signs of.
