Florida State 10, Miami 7

From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida State finally caught a break against Miami.
After six straight years of frustrating finishes, the Seminoles found some good fortune against their rivals when the Hurricanes botched a short, potential game-tying field goal in the closing minutes
of Florida State's 10-7 victory Monday night.
Jon Peattie lined up for a 28-yarder after a 19-play, 81-yard drive by Miami stalled with about 2:30 left.
But holder Brian Monroe dropped a low snap that bounced off his hands and rolled back into the pile, never giving Peattie a chance to try the kick.
"We finally stole one from them like they've been stealing them from us," Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said. "It's about time."
With No. 9 Miami out of timeouts, No. 14 Florida State simply needed to run out the clock to secure its first victory over the Hurricanes since 1999.
"It made up for a lot of them but not all of them," said Bowden, who improved to 12-19 against Miami with FSU.
In a series that has seen countless missed field goals by Florida State decide games, Miami missed two and couldn't even get off the biggest one of the game.
"That sounds like Florida State doesn't it," Bowden said of Miami's kicking woes. "That sounds like us."
Florida State overcame its own inept offense (170 total yards) with a defense that registered nine sacks and some solid special teams plays.
Both Florida State's Drew Weatherford and Miami's Kyle Wright were making their first collegiate start at quarterback and, at times, neither looked ready to lead a team to victory in one of college
football's fiercest rivalries.
Weatherford was not consistent, going 7-for-24 for 67 yards with an interception. He was pulled early in the fourth, but fellow redshirt freshman Xavier Lee had no luck moving the 'Noles, either.
Wright wasn't much better until the final Miami drive, when he completed six passes and converted three third downs to put the Hurricanes in position to break the Noles' hearts again.
Wright finished 16-for-28 for 232 yards and a touchdown pass.
So, it came down to the defenses and special teams, and even when those units set up their offenses with prime field position, it was no sure thing they'd capitalize. The Seminoles wasted a
first-and-goal from the 1 in the third quarter.
Most of the talk leading up to the 50th meeting of Miami and Florida State was about the two first-time starters at quarterback. And when it took almost nine minutes for either team to complete a
pass, it became apparent the offenses were in for a long night against two fast and furious defenses.
Wright worked through his problems, including two early interceptions and a few dropped passes, long enough to guide an 81-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter. The sophomore's first career TD
pass was a 34-yarder, zipped over a defender to Ryan Moore to make it 10-7 Florida State.
The Seminoles held a three-point advantage at half time, but the signs weren't good for Florida State.
Weatherford had completed just three passes for 14 yards while Wright seemed to be capable of making plays when he got help from his line and receivers.
It looked even more ominous for Florida State when Lawrence Timmons blocked a Miami punt that left the Seminoles with first-and-goal at the 1. After three runs lost 3 yards and a false start pushed
FSU back another 5, first-year starter Gary Cismesia hooked a 23-yard field goal left.
The Seminoles grabbed a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, with help from the first interception thrown by Wright.
The pick set up Florida State at the Miami 29 and moments later James Coleman bulled in from the 1 for a 7-0 lead and the Seminoles' first first-quarter TD against the 'Canes since FSU's last win six
years ago.
Cismesia made the first field-goal attempt of his career from 37 yards out a few minutes later, much to the delight of the Seminoles fans, who have been crushed by bad kicks against Miami more times
than they prefer to remember.
Meanwhile, Peattie, a veteran who made 15 of 24 field goal attempts last season, missed badly from 47 and 39 in the quarter.
It turned out to be a good omen for Florida State.

Florida State 62, Citadel 10
09/10/2005, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - After shaky performances earlier in the week, Florida State's two freshmen quarterbacks showed their talent Saturday night.
Drew Weatherford bounced back from after struggling in his first collegiate start to throw for 342 yards and two touchdowns as No. 11 Florida State beat Division I-AA The Citadel 62-10, its most
points and yards in a game since the 2000 season.
Weatherford completed 26 of 37 passes, a vast improvement from Monday's 7-for-24 showing for 67 yards in a 10-7 win over Miami. His backup, Xavier Lee, was yanked after a first-half interception
against The Citadel, but finished with 143 yards and a touchdown in reserve action.
"Both of them showed they can throw the football if we give them some time," Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said. "As it turned out, we had to pass to get the lead."
Trailing 10-3 with just over a minute left in the half, Florida State scored 45 straight points, including five third-quarter touchdowns, to lead 48-10 after three quarters.
"Coach Bowden reminded us...we weren't going to be able to show up and win," Weatherford said. "I think that's what a lot of us thought."
Lee also ran 24 yards for another score as the Seminoles (2-0) stayed on the ground for most of the fourth quarter, finishing with 629 total yards.
"The first series I was a little rattled," Lee said. "But after I relaxed and halftime came, I realized I had to get things done and just make plays."
Tailbacks Leon Washington, Lorenzo Booker and freshman Antone Smith each ran for scores in the third quarter and Weatherford finished off his night's work with a 40-yard touchdown pass to 6-foot-6
freshman Greg Carr, who moments later grabbed a 10-yard scoring pass from Lee.
The outmanned Citadel (1-1) was dominated by Florida State's defense, managing just 91 yards total offense and five first downs.
Meanwhile, Florida State's two quarterbacks connected with 11 different receivers.
Chris Davis caught nine passes for 125 yards, De'Cody Fagg had seven receptions for 113 yards and Carr had 104 yards on three catches in what the school believed was the first time three receivers
have exceeded 100 yards in the same game.
Florida State paid The Citadel $400,000 to play the game, and give its young quarterbacks and receivers some practice.
"Time will tell if enough positives come out of this to make it worthwhile," Citadel coach Kevin Higgins said.
A couple of mistakes by Weatherford and an interception thrown by Lee kept The Citadel in the game during the first half.
After Lee was intercepted, the Bulldogs tied the game 3-3 five minutes into the second quarter on Blake Vandiver's career-high 45 yard field goal. Vince Hill then picked up a fumble by Weatherford and
went 70 to give the Bulldogs a short-lived 10-3 late in the first half.
Florida State takes its young club on the road for the first time next Saturday for a key early-season Atlantic Coast Conference game at Boston College.

Florida State 28, Boston College 17
09/17/2005, Chestnut Hill, Mass.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
CHESTNUT HILL, MA - Florida State gave Boston College a rude welcome to the Atlantic Coast Conference.
A.J. Nicholson intercepted two passes, scoring on a 19-yard return on the first play of the game, and Greg Carr caught two touchdowns to help eighth-ranked Florida State beat No. 17 Boston College
28-17 on Saturday night and spoil the Eagles' ACC debut.
Nicholson's interceptions sparked the Seminoles (3-0, 2-0) to a 14-0 lead in the first five minutes before BC scored 17 unanswered points to take the lead. The Eagles (2-1) nursed the lead - thanks to
a great play by Mathias Kiwanuka - until quarterback Quinton Porter left with an ankle injury and Florida State took advantage.
Drew Weatherford hit Carr on a 6-yard slant across the middle of the end zone with 10:13 left in the fourth to give the Seminoles a 21-17 lead. After Eagles backup Matthew Ryan's third consecutive
three-and-out, Darius McClure blocked a punt deep in BC territory and Lorenzo Booker made up for a goal-line fumble by scoring from 4 yards out to make it 28-17.
BC drove to the Florida State 2 in the final three minutes, but couldn't score in seven tries, including a defensive holding penalty - and used up most of the clock while trying.
Weatherford was 20-for-38 for 243 yards and two touchdowns. Porter was 20-for-31 with one touchdown and two interceptions before leaving late in the third quarter, and Ryan was 7-for-11 for 89 yards,
most of it on the last drive.
The ACC began courting Boston College in 2003 when it went looking to expand to 12 teams and play a lucrative championship game. But the conference snubbed the Eagles in the first round of expansion
and instead asked Miami and Virginia Tech to join.
BC skulked back to the Big East before the ACC voted again, this time inviting the Eagles to join. After frigid farewell season in its old conference - and a couple of lawsuits and a multimillion
dollar settlement - the Eagles were free to go.
They celebrated with a party at Fenway Park and dubbed Saturday "ACC Premier Day." A heavy rain put an early damper on the enthusiasm, and then Nicholson nearly finished it off.
Porter slipped backing away from the center and tried to ditch the ball in the flat toward Larry Lester, but Nicholson stepped in front of it and took it 19 yards into the end zone. Seven seconds into
its much-balleyhooed entry into the superconference, Boston College was behind 7-0.
BC drove 55 yards on the next possession before Nicholson picked off another, but this time Porter knocked him out of bounds to postpone the touchdown. Florida State scored three plays later when
Weatherford threw a 20-yard jump ball that the 6-foot-6 Carr pulled down over 5-foot-9 cornerback DeJuan Tribble in the corner of the end zone.
But BC reached Florida State territory four consecutive times - resulting in an interception, a field goal and two touchdowns - to take a 17-14 lead early in the second quarter. BC still led at the
end of the third when Florida State drove to the BC 33 yard-line.
Weatherford hit Chris Davis for 29 yards on a third-and-10. On the next play, Booker broke free on a screen pass and went down the left sideline toward the goal line.
Kiwanuka stripped the ball from Booker as he spun at the goal line. The ball came down on the pylon, giving BC the ball at their own 20.
But Porter went out with a right ankle injury, and Ryan couldn't move the Eagles at all over the next three series. Weatherford, who had just 10 completions to that point, went 8-for-9 on the next
drive and hit Carr on a slant across the middle of the end zone to give Florida State a 21-17 lead with 10:13 left.
Although the schools hadn't played in 25 years, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden has a little history with Boston College. He won his first road game with the Seminoles on Oct. 9, 1976, when Florida
State beat BC 28-9.

Florida State 38, Syracuse 14
10/01/2005, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Drew Weatherford passed for 234 yards and three touchdowns, including a 71-yard swing pass to Lorenzo Booker, and No. 6 Florida State defeated Syracuse 38-14 Saturday.
Weatherford, a redshirt freshman making his fourth collegiate start, also scored a touchdown as the Seminoles rolled up a 24-0 lead.
Florida State (4-0), which had nine sacks in its opener against Miami, got Syracuse quarterback Perry Patterson seven times.
With the temperature approaching 90 on a humid afternoon, Syracuse (1-3) was virtually helpless on offense through most of the game, managing only 57 yards and two first downs by halftime.
Syracuse's Damien Rhodes, who came into the game ranked 10th nationally with an average of 120.3 rushing yards, was held to 44 yards on 15 carries, but added 70 more with four catches.
Weatherford completed 17 of 26 passes, also throwing touchdown passes covering 43 yards to Willie Reid and 15 yards to Chris Davis.
Backup quarterback Xavier Lee passed for 162 yards, including a 75-yard completion to freshman Kenny O'Neal that set up the Seminoles final touchdown - an 11-yard run by Lamar Lewis.
Florida State took a 7-0 lead when Syracuse cornerback Steve Gregory bobbled an overthrown pass from Weatherford right into Reid's arms. Reid, who missed the last two games with a leg injury, grabbed
the deflected overthrow in stride and scooted into the end zone uncontested.
The Seminoles got the ball back on the following kickoff when Mikhal Kornegay's hit forced Kareem Jones' fumble at the Syracuse 22 and the Seminoles were in the end zone two minutes later on
Weatherford's 1-yard plunge.
Gary Cismesia's 37-yard field goal gave Florida State a 17-0 halftime lead.
Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, the winningest coach in major college football, improved to 355-102-4, remaining seven victories ahead of Penn State coach Joe Paterno.
The Orange did manage to become the first team to score on Florida State in the second half this season when Patterson ran 2 yards for a touchdown with 4:06 left in the third period. A 20-yard punt
gave the Orange the ball at Florida State's 34 and a pass interference penalty set up Patterson's scoring run.
Patterson lobbed a 30-yard TD pass to Nicholas Chestnut, completing an 80-yard scoring drive late in the fourth quarter as Florida State was substituting freely.

Florida State 41, Wake Forest 24
10/08/2005, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Greg Carr is making a name for himself in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The true freshman caught a 63-yard pass to set up the first of three fourth-quarter scores, helping No. 4 Florida State beat pesky Wake Forest 41-24 Saturday.
"We had them on the ropes," said Wake Forest tailback Chris Barclay, whose 31-yard touchdown run pulled his team to 20-17 late in the third quarter. "We had a good chance of upsetting these guys."
Following the score, Florida State (5-0, 3-0 ACC) was deep in its own territory, a play away from having to punt.
"I was concerned it was slipping away from us," Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said. "I was very concerned."
And the game was in the hands of freshmen.
Faced with a third-and-15 at his own 21, redshirt freshman Drew Weatherford escaped a heavy rush and threw the ball long for the 6-foot-6 Carr, who caught it near midfield and ran to the Wake Forest
16 for his big gain - on his 20th birthday.
"You don't see many 6-6 receivers who can jump like he can," Weatherford said. "It's kind of like a bail out for 50 yards down the field. I just threw it up and he made a play."
Wake Forest (2-4, 1-2) knew its upset hopes had ended.
"It was the back breaker," Wake Forest cornerback Alphonso Smith said.
"Kind of like a gut punch, it took the air out of us," Barclay agreed. "He's so tall, it's hard to match up."
On the next play, Weatherford found Fred Rouse for a 16-yard score to give Florida State a 27-17 lead.
"As you can see, man, we're doing it," said Rouse, also a true freshman who handles some punt return duties as well.
Leon Washington, who ran for 87 yards and added another 92 yards on four catches, agreed.
"They're doing a great job," Washington said. "We haven't had freshmen like that in a long time."
Florida State scored on a long swing pass on its next drive when Washington went 61 yards for a 34-17 lead. The same play worked a week earlier when Lorenzo Booker went 71 yards for a score.
Backup quarterback Xavier Lee scored the final touchdown for the Seminoles with 5:38 left.
Carr, who is averaging almost 30 yards a catch this season, caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from Weatherford in the first quarter for his fifth TD catch of the season.
Weatherford threw for 351 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another as the offense rolled up 585 yards and 27 first downs. He completed 20 of 31 passes and also scored on a 1-yard run that gave
Florida State a 7-0 lead.
"We're not maxed out," said Bowden, who hiked his Division I-A career-best victory total to 356. "The best is still ahead of us."
But Florida State's nationally ranked defense struggled all day against the pesky Demon Deacons. Though the Seminoles never trailed, they were in trouble heading into the last quarter.
Wake Forest rolled up 415 yards of its own.
Barclay, the ACC's leading rusher, finished with 125 yards against a rush defense that was ranked sixth nationally.
Wake Forest scored with 20 seconds left in the game on a 1-yard run by Kevin Marion, who scored its first touchdown on a 67-yard run.
Florida State's victory came with a price. The Seminoles lost
senior guard Matt Meinrod, arguably their best offensive lineman, when he broke his fibula and dislocated the ankle on his left leg in the third quarter. School officials said he'll have surgery next
week.

Virginia 26, Florida State 21
10/15/2005, Charlottesville, Va.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - Bobby Bowden has seen a lot in 40 years of coaching, from Heisman Trophy winners to the wonder of Michael Vick in a national championship.
But he's never seen anything that topped what Marques Hagans did to the fourth-ranked Seminoles on Saturday night, dodging pass rushers all night long, and often finding a receiver and firing a laser
into his arms while running for his life.
"I've never seen a quarterback make as many one-man plays as he made tonight," Bowden said after Hagans led Virginia to a 26-21 victory against the Seminoles.
"We couldn't stop that dadgum No. 18," Bowden said.
Hagans threw for a career-best 306 yards and two touchdowns and Connor Hughes kicked four field goals for the Cavaliers (4-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who reprised history and beat a top-5 team
for only the second time in their history.
The other was Florida State, too, 10 years ago.
This one, though, was particularly sweet for the Cavaliers, coming as they were off back-to-back double-digit road losses at Maryland and Boston College.
"I'm tired," said Hagans, who connected on 27 of 36 passes. "But the win was so big. We had lost two in a row and the season was on the line."
Like their victory in 1995, which ended with Warrick Dunn stopped inches from the goal line on the final play to preserve a 33-28 victory, this one went to the wire, too, sealed by Tony Franklin's
interception of Drew Weatherford with 50 seconds left.
"It was real tense," said All-ACC linebacker Ahmad Brooks, who played for only the second time this season after knee surgery. "We just needed someone to make a play."
Franklin's interception was the third of the night for Virginia.
"It's a great feeling," the senior, one of four captains, said. "Take it back to high school when I won the state championship. It's on that level."
Leading 26-10 entering the final quarter, the Cavaliers led only 26-21 when they stopped the Seminoles (5-1, 3-1) near midfield with 3 1/2 minutes to go.
Hagans then ran for 6 yards before Florida State's Tony Carter was called for pass interference on third down, giving Virginia a badly needed first down.
After Hagans came up a yard short on the next third-and-7 run, the Cavaliers punted and Florida State got one last chance from its own 26 with 56 seconds left.
Weatherford threw deep downfield, but Franklin was inside the receiver and made the catch. Two downings of the ball brought thousands of students out onto the field.
"It's huge," said Hughes, who stretched his string of field goals made to 10 with kicks of 50, 37, 35 and 45 yards. "I feel like we finally broke through. We really held on and showed some guts today
at the end of the game, and that's something we really needed to prove not only to ourselves, but I feel like everybody around us."
Florida State, with Weatherford looking less like a freshman as the game got more tense, had rallied behind his 22-yard touchdown pass to Chris Davis and a 32-yard field goal from Gary Cismesia, a
drive when Virginia held at its own 15-yard line.
Weatherford finished 35-for-59 for 377 yards.
Florida State lost because it had no answer for Hagans, who used his speed to get away from defenders all night, repeatedly buying time and completing passes on the run. Virginia finished with only 20
yards rushing on 28 attempts, and Hagans officially carried nine times for minus 4 yards, but he clearly frustrated the Seminoles.
"You could hear them talking whenever you scoot out of the pocket or a possible sack," he said of the defenders, who are accustomed to running down quarterbacks.
But it almost was for naught when the Seminoles rallied.
First, Weatherford covered 47 yards in two plays - a 25-yard pass to Willie Reid and a dump off that Davis took down the right sideline for a touchdown. Down 10, Weatherford also calmly hit 6-foot-6
Greg Carr for the 2-point conversion.
After Virginia failed to get a first down for the second series in a row, the Seminoles drove 73 yards in 11 plays, ending with Cismesia's 32-yard field goal.
But then Hagans made a few more plays to kill clock, and Franklin finished it.
"I don't have a lot to say," Bowden said. "All I want to say, you can't print."
The Cavaliers led 23-10 at halftime, getting their second touchdown with 19 seconds left when Hagans was flushed from the pocket, scrambled right and hit Wali Lundy, who dodged several defenders and
made a final lunge to get the ball into the end zone.
Virginia also intercepted two passes, one by Marcus Hamilton to halt the Seminoles' opening drive at the Virginia 34, and one to start a 74-yard drive that ended with Hagans' 21-yard pass to Jonathan
Stupar in the right corner of the end zone.
On the play before, Hagans made an even better throw on the run, a third-and-16 past that somehow got past a Seminoles defender to Emmanuel Byers for a 28-yard gain.
The second interception, by Chris Gorham at the Seminoles 36, led to Hughes' third field goal, a 35-yarder that gave the Cavaliers a 16-10 lead 1:29 before halftime.

Florida State 55, Duke 24
10/22/2005, Durham, N.C.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
DURHAM, N.C. - Drew Weatherford threw two touchdown passes and backup Xavier Lee added two of his own to help No. 11 Florida State bounce back from its first loss of the season with a 55-24 victory
over Duke on Saturday.
Greg Carr caught three of the TDs and third-string tailback Antone Smith ran for two scores for the Seminoles (6-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who still struggled to generate a running game
against the outmanned Blue Devils (1-7, 0-5). Smith was the leading rusher with 76 yards, and 45 of those came on a spectacular run early in the fourth quarter with the outcome no longer in doubt.
On fourth-and-2, Smith broke five tackles near the line of scrimmage - including a couple deep in his own backfield - then dove through another at the goal line.
Weatherford and Lee more than made up for the lack of success on the ground. Combined, they were 34-for-49 for 376 yards against the fourth-best pass defense in the ACC to help Florida State improve
to 14-0 in the series.
However, this game was much more competitive than any of the others, even while the Seminoles scored at least 45 points for the fifth consecutive trip to Wallace Wade Stadium. Duke amassed 195 yards
rushing and was within 24-14 midway through the third quarter following Justin Boyle's 1-yard touchdown plunge.
That score came after Ronnie Drummer sprinted 55 yards on a reverse to set up first-and-goal, the third game in a row he's had a run of at least 50 yards.
Florida State regained control by going 78 yards to extend the lead, with Smith running around the left end untouched to make it 31-14. Weatherford was 3-for-3 on the drive.
Perhaps Duke's final chance came on the ensuing possession, when coach Ted Roof called for a fake punt from his own 27-yard line. Punter Chris Sprague was stopped for a 2-yard loss, and on the next
play, Lee lobbed a perfect pass over cornerback John Talley that Carr caught in the corner of the end zone.
In fact, all of his TDs came on similar plays, where the 6-foot-6 Carr simply jumped over the 5-11 Talley. Those offset Talley's fifth interception in the final seconds of the first half.
Weatherford finished 24-for-32 for 276 yards, while Lee was 10-for-17 for 100 to help the Seminoles pile up 539 yards of total offense.
The Blue Devils already had clinched their 11th consecutive losing season, but their inspired effort included several stellar performances by underclassmen. Freshman Requan Boyette rushed for 123
yards and a touchdown, and Drummer, a sophomore, ran for 77 yards on only two carries and added 60-yard kickoff return.
Joe Surgan, another first-year player, kicked a career-long 47-yard field goal.

Florida State 35, Maryland 27
10/29/2005, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Drew Weatherford and James Coleman scored fourth-quarter touchdowns to lead No. 10 Florida State to a 35-27 come-from-behind victory over Maryland on Saturday.
Weatherford's 15-yard run with 8:52 left gave the Seminoles a 28-27 lead and they scored three minutes later on Coleman's 1-yard run. Coleman's score was set up by Ernie Sims' interception.
Maryland's final bid for a tie ended with 52 seconds left when Joel Statham was sacked by A.J. Nicholson at the Florida State 40. The Seminoles avoided losing to the Terps for a second straight
year.
Florida State (7-1, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) can lock up a spot in the first league title game Dec. 3 at Jacksonville with a victory over North Carolina State next Saturday.
Maryland (4-4, 2-3) scored 24 straight points midway through the game, building a 24-14 lead on Dan Ennis' 40-yard field goal three minutes into the second half.
But the Seminoles turned to their favorite weapon, freshman wide receiver Greg Carr, to get back into the game.
The 6-foot-6 Carr caught a 37-yard pass to the Maryland 1 and then, after two plays lost yards, he broke wide open in the end zone to snag a 4-yard scoring pass to cut Maryland's lead to 24-21.
After Ennis kicked a 35-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter and give the Terrapins a 27-21 lead, Carr was again center stage.
A pair of pass interference calls against Maryland's Gerrick McPhearson, who was trying to defend Carr, set up Weatherford's go-head score.
Florida State wasted a fast start and its fans booed the Seminoles off the field at the half when they took a knee on the final play before the break.
Leon Washington scored on a 3-yard run on Florida State's first offensive series and Willie Reid added a 61-yard punt return TD to give the Seminoles a 14-0 lead in the opening minute of the second
quarter.
But Maryland countered with three touchdowns in a span of nine minutes to take a 21-14 halftime lead. Statham ran for a score and added touchdown passes covering 29 yards to Derrick Fenner and 20
yards to Jo Jo Walker.
Statham, who sparked Maryland's 20-17 victory over Florida State a year ago, completed 15 of 29 passes for 177 yards.
Weatherford, a redshirt freshman leading the ACC in passing, completed 27 of 37 passes for 264 yards, but was intercepted twice. Reid had seven catches for 90 yards and finished with 227 all purpose
yards.
Maryland defensive back Milton Harris was taken to the hospital after suffering a possible neck or head injury late in the third quarter of the Terrapins' game at Florida State.
However, officials did not immediately have an update on Harris' condition when the game ended.

North Carolina State 20, Florida State 15
11/05/2005, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Andre Brown ran for 179 yards and a touchdown and North Carolina State intercepted Drew Weatherford three times to upset No. 9 Florida State 20-15 for its third victory in five years
over the Seminoles.
Florida State (7-2, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) backed into the league's first championship game scheduled next month in Jacksonville because Boston College lost at North Carolina.
Without injured tailback Leon Washington, Florida State's offense managed 43 yards rushing and was unable to get the ball to6-foot-6 receiver Greg Carr, who came into the game leading the ACC in
touchdown catches and yards receiving.
Weatherford was particularly ineffective in the second half, completing 5 of 17 passes for 55 yards while throwing three interceptions. He was relieved for two series midway in the fourth quarter by
an equally ineffective Xavier Lee.
Florida State, which had averaged 40 points a game over its last seven contests, scored its lone touchdown midway through the second quarter when Chris Davis went 33 yards with a slant pass from
Weatherford for a 10-7 lead.
The Seminoles' only other points came on field goals of 25 and 48 yards by Gary Cismesia, and a safety.
N.C. State (4-4, 2-4) built a 20-10 lead late in the third quarter when Anthony Hill caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Stone.
Brown, who ran for 248 yards a week ago, raced 65 yards for a touchdown that gave the Wolfpack a 7-0 lead 17 seconds into the game. John Deraney added field goals of 48 and 22 yards.
The defense did the rest.
Interceptions in the final two minutes by A.J. Davis and Garland Heath helped the Wolfpack survive a pair of late blocked punts in the final 6:09.
After A.J. Davis' second interception of the game - in the end zone with 1:50 left - Deraney took a safety and Florida State got a last chance in the final minute before Heath ended it his
interception.
On top of the defeat, the Seminoles lost their top pass rusher. Defensive end Kamerion Wimbley left the game late in the first half with a left knee injury and did not return.

Clemson 35, Florida State 14
11/12/2005, Clemson, S.C.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
CLEMSON, SC - Charlie Whitehurst threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns to lead Clemson over No. 17 Florida State 35-14 Saturday, the second time in three meetings that Tigers coach Tommy Bowden has
beaten father Bobby.
Whitehurst went 21-of-32 a week after resting his sore shoulder and Chansi Stuckey had 11 catches for 156 yards and two TDs for Clemson (5-4, 3-4 Atlantic Coast).
The Seminoles (7-3, 5-3) gained just 226 yards as they lost for the second game in a row and the third time in their last five. They have lost three games in the ACC for the first time since joining
the league in 1992.
Florida State came into Saturday with the ACC's top passing offense at 309 yards a contest, but Clemson's defense rushed the Seminoles freshmen quarterbacks all game, getting six sacks and leaving
little time for receivers to get open. Starter Drew Weatherford was 12-of-27 for 117 yards and two interceptions, while Xavier Lee, who entered the game in the fourth quarter, was 1-of-7 for seven
yards.
The Bowden Bowl started in 1999 as a fun family reunion. Now, both coaches say it's an ordeal that guarantees someone named Bowden is going to leave with fans sniping at him.
Once again, it will be Bobby Bowden. And for the second time in the last three meetings, the Seminoles will have lost a game in which they entered as heavy favorites. Two years ago, some fans grumbled
that he lost to Clemson to help save his son's job. This year they'll want to know why Florida State has been held under 230 total yards in two straight ACC losses.
On the other sideline, Whitehurst showed no ill effects from taking last week off to rest his aching throwing shoulder, completing six of eight passes for 100 yards in Clemson's first two drives as
the Tigers took a 14-0 lead.
A blocked punt recovered for a touchdown and two field goals helped Florida State tie it at 14 at the half, but the Tigers defense took over in the third quarter.
Clemson picked off Weatherford twice in the quarter, leading Bobby Bowden to put Lee in. But Lee couldn't get his team going either, with his receivers dropping at least two sure catches as the clock
wound down.
Meanwhile, a 32-yard touchdown pass to Stuckey, an 8-yard scoring run by James Davis and a 4-yard TD catch by Aaron Kelly put the game away for the Tigers, who became eligible for a bowl for the
seventh straight year.
Davis ran for 65 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns for Clemson.
Lorenzo Booker ran for 112 yards on 16 carries for Florida State.

Florida 34, Florida State 7
11/26/2005, Gainesville, Fla.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
GAINESVILLE, FL - Despite three losses and failing to reach the Southeastern Conference title game, Urban Meyer's first season at Florida can now be called successful.
Or at the very least, a good start.
Chris Leak threw two touchdown passes, the defense created four turnovers and the No. 19 Gators overwhelmed 23rd-ranked Florida State 34-7 Saturday at The Swamp.
Florida (8-3) finished undefeated at home for the first time since 2000 and knocked off its top three rivals - Tennessee, Georgia and Florida State - in the same season for the first time since
1996.
The Seminoles (7-4) may have reached a new low under longtime coach Bobby Bowden, losing three in a row for the first time since 1983.
Florida State still has a chance to turn the season around, though. It can win the inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference championship game next week in Jacksonville and advance to the Orange Bowl.
But few would believe that possible after FSU's last three games: losses to North Carolina State, Clemson and Florida. The Seminoles were outscored 89-36 in those contests.
Florida's victory against its in-state rival was the most lopsided in the series since a 52-20 win in the 1997 Sugar Bowl, which gave the Gators their lone national title.
Florida won this one with its most complete game of the season. The offense sustained long drives, the defense delivered constant pressure on Drew Weatherford, and special teams scored a touchdown.
Leak capped a 71-yard drive with an 8-yard TD pass to Chad Jackson on the first play of the second quarter.
Jackson finished with nine catches for 97 yards. Leak wasn't particularly precise, with several overthrows and underthrows, but he 19-of-28 for 211 yards.
Leak threw an interception on the next possession, giving Florida State great field position at the Florida 27 - but the defense forced a 45-yard field goal attempt.
The kick turned out to be disastrous for the Seminoles. Marcus Thomas split two linemen and blocked the low kick with his left hand. Reggie Lewis picked it up on one hop and returned it 52 yards for a
score and a 14-0 lead.
Chris Hetland kicked a field goal in the third quarter to make it 17-0, then the Gators pulled away with 17 points in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter - all following turnovers.
Hetland's second field goal followed an interception by Jarvis Herring near the goal line. Herring stepped in front of Weatherford's floating pass on first-and-10 at the 14. The Gators drove 63 yards
to set up Hetland's 34-yarder.
Leon Washington fumbled two plays later, then Leak hit Dallas Baker for a 15-yard score that put Florida up 27-0.
The Seminoles fumbled again a few possessions later, and Markus Manson capped another drive with a 2-yard TD run.
Florida State avoided a shutout when Weatherford connected with De'Cody Fagg for a 6-yard score with 6:35 to play. Weatherford finished 24-of-42 for 285 yards. He was sacked five times and hurried on
nearly every passing play.

Florida State 27, Virginia Tech 22
12/03/2005, Jacksonville, Fla.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Willie Reid was dancing with teammates, posing for pictures and pausing for interviews.
The Florida State senior receiver had an Atlantic Coast Conference championship hat on his head, a smile on his face and renewed swagger with every step.
This is how it's supposed to be.
The Seminoles are conference champs - again.
Reid returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown, the defense continually harassed Marcus Vick and Florida State upset No. 5 Virginia Tech 27-22 Saturday night in the inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference
title game.
The Seminoles (8-4) snapped a three-game losing streak - the program's first since 1983 - and won the league title for the 12th time in 14 years.
"We're back to normal now," said Reid, who finished with 210 all-purpose yards and was the game's most valuable player. "We're back to Florida State football."
Florida State turned around a disappointing season and earned a Bowl Championship Series berth in the Orange Bowl, where it likely will face No. 4 Penn State.
Bobby Bowden vs. Joe Paterno - the two winningest coaches in major college football history.
"That old man?" Bowden said. "Is that likely to happen? Well, dadgummit. That's my luck. ... If we play them, it will be a great matchup: two old men out there trying to see who has life left in
them."
Few could have envisioned that matchup. Not after Florida State was outscored 89-36 in losses to North Carolina State, Clemson and Florida.
Boosters and fans were calling for Bowden to fire his son and offensive coordinator, Jeff Bowden. Some were even talking about the elder Bowden stepping down after 19 losses in the last five seasons.
Others were already looking ahead and guessing how many in a row the team would lose; Florida State hasn't lost four in a row since 1975, the year before Bowden arrived.
The Seminoles may have silenced those groans - starting with Reid's return, which sparked a 24-point third quarter that broke a 3-3 tie.
"We had to shut up all our critics," Reid said.
Of course, they might have returned in the fourth quarter as the Seminoles conservatively worked the clock while Virginia Tech made a comeback.
Vick led the Hokies (10-2) to consecutive touchdowns in the fourth quarter - a 29-yard pass to Josh Morgan and then a 4-yard run - that cut the lead to 27-15. He capped a 93-yard drive with a 1-yard
TD run with 1:45 to play that made it 27-22.
But Tech, without any timeouts, failed to recover the onside kick. The Seminoles ran out the clock from there - and celebrated another ACC title.
"We stayed confident throughout all the troubling things," Florida State defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley said. "Every team goes through things like that. That's the way champions do it; they
overcome their problems."
Vick was much better than he was against Miami last month, when he threw two interceptions and fumbled four times. He finished 26-of-52 passing for 335 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He
also ran 17 times for 11 yards and two scores.
But he also was sacked six times, and the Hokies were penalized 17 times for 143 yards.
"It's not like us and I really don't know what happened," tailback Cedric Humes said. "I have no words for it."
Vick certainly gave Florida State a scare, but it was too little, too late.
The Seminoles did too much damage in the decisive third quarter. Virginia Tech went three-and-out to open the second half, and Reid fielded the punt near the sideline, sprinted ahead, cut inside and
then juked two players and went nearly untouched into the end zone. Punter Nic Schmitt had a shot at Reid, but his diving, one-armed attempt at a leg tackle was futile.
Vick, who was sacked four times in the first half and six times in the game, threw an interception on the ensuing possession. Florida State's Drew Weatherford completed consecutive passes to Fred
Rouse and De'Cody Fagg, then Leon Washington sprinted up the middle for a 14-yard score.
The Seminoles had a 17-3 lead and all the momentum. Players were jumping up and down on the sideline. Florida State's famed War Chant resonated through Alltel Stadium. This looked much more like the
confident, borderline cocky, Seminoles who used to run roughshod through the conference.
That changed last year when Virginia Tech and Miami joined the league. The Hokies beat Miami for the ACC title in 2004 and were a double-digit favorite to repeat - mostly because of the Seminoles'
recent struggles.
But Florida State's defense returned to form, making Virginia Tech look a step slow and as helpless as Miami did in a 27-7 victory in Blacksburg last month.
The Hokies backed into the championship game when Georgia Tech upset Miami three weeks ago.
Now, Virginia Tech will either return to Jacksonville and face Louisville in the Gator Bowl or play in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
The Hokies might want to avoid return to Alltel Stadium - especially with all the bad memories.
"We battled back, but got ourselves in a little bit too much of a hole," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. "We just couldn't get a call at the right time. It was just a tough night."
Florida State piled on two more scores in the third quarter - setting up the victory and essentially ending the slide.
"Our team was in a tailspin," Bowden said. "We pulled out of it. I knew we would. I just didn't think it would be this game."

Penn State 26, Florida State 23
01/03/2006, 3 OT, Miami Gardens, Fla.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.
MIAMI, FL, January 3, 2006 - This really was one for the ages.
For more than four hours, Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden paced the Orange Bowl sidelines, searching for offense and enduring one missed kick after another.
Finally, in the third overtime, at 1 a.m. Wednesday, Kevin Kelly made a 29-yard field goal, giving Paterno and Penn State a 26-23 victory over Bowden's Florida State Seminoles.
"I told him we're too old for this," the 79-year-old Paterno said afterward. "It's almost past my bedtime."
Paterno had said he didn't want the game to be about him and 76-year-old Bowden, who rank 1-2 in career coaching victories. It turned out to be about missed opportunities, improbable twists - and epic
length.
Given two earlier chances to win the game, Kelly missed field goal attempts of 29 and 38 yards. Paterno calmly patted the freshman's back after the second miss, then sent him onto the field on second
down for the winning kick.
Florida State counterpart Gary Cismesia missed an extra point in the first half and field goal tries of 44 and 38 yards in overtime.
"Sometimes you miss at the wrong time," Bowden said. "Joe was having that problem for a while."
The No. 3-ranked Nittany Lions finished 11-1, with the only loss coming when they gave up a touchdown to Michigan on the game's final play. The season represented a big rebound for Paterno's program,
which went 7-16 in 2003-04.
No. 22 Florida State fell to 8-5, Bowden's worst season since 1981.
Moments after the game ended, the two old friends came together and stood shoulder-to-shoulder in a crush of cameras and microphones to exchange warm words.
"No animosity. No animosity. I mean that," Bowden said.
"Both teams played so hard," Paterno said.
"Both teams played as well as they could play," Bowden said.
Florida State mostly contained Big Ten most valuable player Michael Robinson, who threw a touchdown pass with six seconds left in the first half but was limited to 253 yards passing and 21 rushing.
One scrum knocked off his helmet.
He hit two clutch completions to give Penn State a chance to win the game in regulation. But Kelly, hampered by a shaky hold, was wide left on a 29-yard field goal attempt with 35 seconds left.
Cismesia kicked a 48-yard field goal with 4:08 left in regulation to tie the game at 16-all, but on the first series of overtime he was wide right on a 44-yard attempt.
Then it was Kelly's turn. He again pushed a try wide left, this time a 38-yarder with a perfect hold.
Austin Scott's 1-yard run put Penn State ahead. B.J. Dean pulled the Seminoles even with a 1-yard scoring run.
After Cismesia's 38-yard attempt hit the right upright, Kelly finally came through. The kick gave Paterno his 354th career win, second in Division I-A only to Bowden's 359.
Paterno improved to 7-1 against Bowden. The only loss came the last time they met, when Florida State beat Penn State in the 1990 Blockbuster Bowl - also at Miami.
With his first win in the Orange Bowl since 1974, Paterno improved to 21-10-1 in bowl games.
Both offenses spent much of the game going backward, but there were fireworks, too. Ethan Kilmer made a leaping 24-yard scoring reception with six seconds left in the first half to give Penn State a
14-13 halftime lead.
The Seminoles scored two touchdowns in 80 seconds - on an Orange Bowl-record 87-yard punt return by Willie Reid, and on a 57-yard reception by Lorenzo Booker.
But they totaled only six first downs before Drew Weatherford drove them 65 yards for the tying field goal late in the fourth quarter.
Penn State linebacker Paul Posluszny, the Butkus Award winner, appeared to hurt his right knee during the drive and was carted off the field.
Tony Hunt, a 1,047-yard rusher for Penn State, departed in the first quarter with a left ankle injury. Replacement Scott ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
The teams punted 20 times. In the second half, they swapped eight possessions before either made a first down - on a pass-interference penalty.
Defense produced the first score of the half. Weatherford, working from his end zone, was called for intentional grounding - a safety - when Penn State's Jim Shaw forced a throw.
Leading 16-13, the Nittany Lions had a chance to take control with nine minutes left. But on first-and-goal at the 4, Florida State recovered a botched snap.
The Seminoles netted 26 yards rushing and were penalized 129 yards. Despite the lack of punch, they stayed in the game thanks to two big plays.
They trailed 7-0 when Reid weaved up the middle on a runback, cut left and dashed to the end zone. The punt return broke the Orange Bowl record of 80 yards by former Florida State athletic director
Cecil "Hootie" Ingram for Alabama in 1953.
