It goes back to the process

Good article on ESPN.com about the structure that new FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher has installed into his program.

Fisher said the most important thing he wanted to change was the team's attitude.

"It goes back to the process," he said. "If we want to win, what are we doing to prepare to win? How are we preparing our bodies, how are we preparing our minds? How are we preparing to be a teammate and understanding what being a teammate is? If those things take place, the big things come. We have talented players. Do we have the most? I don't know that, but I don't think we have the least. I think we know we're pretty good. Getting the mind right, and getting them to understand and care for each other and take ownership of each other, that's crucial."

From quarterback Christian Ponder:

"A lot of people are going to be surprised by the way we look once the season starts," Ponder said. "A lot of people have changed their bodies. We've always had the talent to win games, and we have the talent still, it's just the small details that needed to be changed. That's what this whole process has been that Coach Fisher has brought."
