Al Golden says his relationship with Jimbo Fisher is ‘very positive’

Hurricanes coach Al Golden on Monday called his relationship with FSU coach Jimbo Fisher “very positive. “They’re on one side and we’re on the other, [but] at the end of the day it’s professional, it’s courteous, it’s genuine. I think there’s a mutual respect there.”

Golden named tailback Duke Johnson, tackle Ereck Flowers, linebacker Eddie Johnson and safety Deon Bush as freshmen who have impressed him “the most” this season. He then named cornerbacks Tracy Howard and Antonio Crawford, as well as defensive tackles Corey King and Dequan Ivery.

At quarterback, it’s the injured “Stephen Morris “or’’ Ryan Williams.
