1997 Wake Forest vs Florida State first half

as Saturday the eyes of the college football world were focused on Chapel Hill where Florida State passed judgment on the formerly undefeated Carolina Tarheels it was a seminal celebration on Bobby bobbies 68th birthday a party that once again folded an old back into the familiar rank of number one in the land NF s she wants to stay right there on top today against Wake Forest next [Applause] you're looking at chief a seal on a gorgeous November day here in Tallahassee as the home crowd here at Florida State wants to see their Seminoles extend their unbeaten season as they host the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest hi again everybody along with doc Walker welcome to our ACC game of the week last Saturday in Chapel Hill Florida State doc did just what they wanted to do they're in position in terms of the national championship so much for Judgment Day all the signals do is go down they ripped through the Tar Heels and they take the turf as a symbol of the greatness now that can they focus on Wake Forest and not look ahead to the Florida Gators that is Bobby Bowden's challenge today well they will turn to a senior leader Thad Busby to try and get things done look at his record as a starter he wants to finish another regular season unbeaten as the quarterback for Florida State but as Doc mentioned the Seminoles have to worry about North Carolina we could go Florida State next Saturday overlooking Wake Forest and Bobby Bowden says the Deacons have the Noles right where they want them a lot of times you play a great opponent and then you have a letdown the next week you schedule that down or maybe you plant a great opponent next week now you got to be careful you're not looking ahead now look at us we're coming off of a chance of a letdown before a game that's one of the biggest who will play all year or will they couldn't have us they couldn't have us in a better place well I don't know if Wake Forest would agree on that but I know the Deacons feel like they have a shot at a winning season and a bowl bid and that was there their goal from day one boat called welder this group you go back to the ECU game and the Georgia Tech game to game they felt like they could have won now they have this obstacle but he's done a great job despite having some injuries Bobby Bowden thinks that Jim Caldwell should be the ACC coach of the year Jim was smart enough to know that all that talk of Bobby's saying wakes got Florida State right where they want him it's just Coach talk well I don't think the team that's gone undefeated that length like they have in several different years and seasons they never have a letdown it'll be a challenge for Wake because they'll have to go with Ben Sankey their backup quarterback well one thing he can see he's uh he's undefeated as a starter this young man had to tremendous to challenge because of the pass rush of FSU if he can hit one early on it would be the best thing could happen for weekly Wake Forest trying to go to six and five Florida State trying to go to number one we'll have more from Doak Campbell and Tallahassee we'll go down to the field in my car would when we return to our ACC game of the week

tight end wodsworth on defense a lot of great seniors are saying goodbye to Florida State football and their fans here today in Tallahassee now what does Wake Forest have to do to hang in this game well I talked to the coaches just a few minutes ago they believe they have to establish a running game and that means guys like Morgan Kane really have to step up and if you remember a year ago it was Morgan Kane who had a great first quarter against the Seminoles he says he's ready to have a big game here today Wake Forest feels they've got to take some pressure off of Vince Anke the backup quarterback who is starting today they have to establish a running game that's what they're gonna try to do in the first quarter for Wake the first quarter very important and we're ready for the it's flawed as stated wait an ACC shutdown [Music] thinking about your financial future what better company to place you trust top ten and the u.s. life insurance and growing fast a major provider of

cable's great programming you can bring life to any room Time Warner Cable a nice part of life around here Doak Campbell with the flaming spear at midfield with chief Osceola as Florida State has its final home game of 97 doc let's take a look at the keys to victory for Wake Forest in Florida State this afternoon we start with Wake Forest I think early on their receivers have got to realize they'll be in man coverage and if think you can hit a big one early on I think it really will help their chances and for Florida State don't waste any time come out put the foot right on the throat take care of business early and don't let wait get any confidence Wake Forest won the toss and deferred to the second half so they will be kicking off you see Davy Ford and veneza couch that's been is Gooch right there awaiting the kick Gooch will be the tailback starter this afternoon and we'll talk about that story as the game progresses as Matt verdict gets this one under way and it goes out of bounds at the 5-yard line so Wake Forest will see the Seminoles have very good field position to start the afternoon behind senior quarterback fat Busby Busby out of pace Florida having another good season and Doc even more so when you consider how young that offensive front was in front of Busbee throughout the first part of this season started out against Southern Cal in the opener I just think it's entire staff is to be commended for the amount of guys they've never admitted on both side of the ball and still have yet to lose a beat they have become very effective out of the shotgun and that's what they like to operate from most frequently now there's where Busby is with gooch alongside him to begin the ballgame Jeff Meyer is trying to hit the snap down perfectly on a blitz didn't quite timing up and was in the neutral zone it'll be offsides against the Deacons it was a good idea I think you want to be aggressive you want to disrupt things get tackles for losses but as you mentioned he jumps a little too soon and it cost him five yard penalty marched off will make it first in five for Florida State Jeffrey Myers the free safety on the Blitz that's that tough call he want the running start but you gotta time it up will set both teams lineups in this first series at our best opportunity is as first in five and Busby will put it up with protection and the catch and the slip away then a fumble and Florida State will maintain possession because it went out of bounds Lavernia Scholz at the ball popped free but a deacon player could not fall on it before it went out of bounds are you a classic missed opportunity again Cole's number 7 and your screen will come out a nice little turn in ball is on the money this is where they get real tough you got a stopper right at the point of attack if not they feed that rack run after the catch now this should be a wake opportunity you got to seize that moment Dustin Lyman forced the loose football but David Moore couldn't fall on it now again movement on the line of scrimmage and the Deacons trying to be aggressive jump offsides the question is were they drawn offsides Kelvin Jones the first guy to make contact and with a dead ball of size of the defense that's a five-yard penalty at a first down make it first and 5 again I think doc Jim Caldwell wanted to start on defense and hope that you could set a little tone by catching Florida State early but the big play and the penalties have not made a go the Deacons way they'll give it the Gooch and he's got a little bit of running room but he's brought down after a gain of a couple of yards by David's Adel let's set that Florida State offense Melvin Piersall had a big game a week ago against North Carolina that frontline as doc and I have talked about a young group one of the veterans Kevin long has been outstanding in that center spot this season 3 yard pickup for good second and short [Music] Buzzbee a little turnout we're out eg green first down Seminoles inside the lake 25 David Moore on the stuff but eg green the two-time all-conference wide receiver has had another good year 44 reception where they are classics catches the ball with those hands all ball and pretty good chances to one thing Wake has got a Duke get them down after the catch don't give up yards after the reception running that no huddle offense Busby has the Seminoles threatening right here underneath route and cut and going towards the end zone just shy is eg green at the one-yard line and that's what they do so well the ability to run after the catch is eg green quite nearly at the 28 touchdown in his career and we were going to beat a drum all day long it would be on this both is right there so you got to make that trip him up get him down on the ground if not you give up an additional 13 14 yards and a possible score Brenton was the guy who stopped the touchdown but it's first and goal they're bringing Khalid up doula as the full-back in he'll get the football in store but there's a flag on the play into the end zone but let's get the call from the linesman who threw the flag for both sides all the details the family disease [Applause] so the Florida State Seminoles with a couple of penalties and more perfect passing from fat Busby get on the board well there was somewhat disruptive but they were their own worst enemy because of the three offside penalties and they never really knocked them off and again score for the Seminoles and this is what they do get on you early so freshman Sebastian Janikowski comes on to try the conversion and it's right there well it took less than two minutes for the Florida State Seminoles to find the endzone they have the early advantage [Music] unfortunately most drivers are hit in the same place every time and it's usually when the car insurance bill arrives Geico a 15-minute call could save you 15% or more on car insurance [Music] at Geico we settle claims quickly so you can get your car back because no one likes to bum a ride to work Geico a 15-minute call could save you 15% or more on car insurance the coming-of-age of the adolescent grizzly bear a strange rite of passage where they cry out for their most primal urgent need [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] helpless if they ever learn in the current Pepsi generation next you know the old saying you can't judge a book by

onion fix wanna join us [Music] sorry get cranky anytime an awesome Steichen aussie good time get to Outback Steakhouse come again you're a kicker right no rules just right Dula but most of the work from fat Buzzbee three four three and fifty plus yards Janikowski z-- kick is coming down two miles savage at the 12 yard line savage finds some Running Room and he's out over the 40 yard line and bounds all the way up to the 48 yard line took quite a hit and the end of the play by Jeff Chaney but a 30 60 yard return by little mile savage a flag on the play as well and I think Florida State was offsides they picked up 15 yards beyond the otters average slide we talked about telling defense how wick had to blitz let's see who dishes out the hit let's see who receives it Jeff Janey had that set up there doc miles was teed up for him here comes Ben Sankey the redshirt sophomore out of Chicago Illinois a week ago with a solid performance in the victory over Rutgers but a little different between the Seminoles in the Scarlet Knights Herman Lewis will start the game at tailback and he'll get the call trying to get to the corner and he'll get on a tough yard on the play as Dexter Jackson the free safety comes up quickly to stop Herman Lewis let's set that offense to Beatty Davis among the career bests at Wake Forest heads up a terrific skill group for Jim Caldwell on the offensive line a couple of seniors play in their final game including Terris Clark the senior out of Georgia on second down Sankey will operate from the shotgun but give the ball off de Morgan Kane you'll barely get back to the line of scrimmage it'll be a third and long situation as Julianne Pittman is at the bottom of the pile the nose guard playing in his third game for Florida State Greg spires had a huge ball game against North Carolina a week ago the great line backing core as well and in the secondary a young group with some changes Samari roll one of the veterans back there doing a good job leading the conference in interceptions [Applause] wake about 38% on the year on third down but Florida State is very tough on this kind of play they run the little full-screen and I tell you what doc [Applause] Desmond Clark was being tackled as the ball was getting too can I take code again when you talk about tendency will take at this one figured out he's in the fresh situation doesn't get to block that these goes out he hangs on him it's great recognition way to follow through on it and they dominate in the first series Peter Warrick will be back at his own 10 yard line as Tripp more gets away a high beautiful kick Warrick column for the fair cats but it will bounce down and be grounded at about the seven yard line a terrific punt by Tripp more to backup that Florida State offense with still more than 10 minutes to play here in the first big back we just passed the 11 minute mark of the quarter so Florida State scores quickly and then steps Wake Forest with a three and a Florida State atop the conference they've lost only one game in conference play that to Virginia back in 95 and this senior group doc wants to finish with another undefeated campaign in conference and overall play if they can couple these guys still remember nine and three that national championship out of the shotgun even deep in their own territory Florida State will put it up out into the flat a good open field hint on the play by DeAngelo Solomon as they got it to venez Gooch out of the backfield for not much gain tough young man DeAngelo Solomon this is one of the keys for Wake Forest you're not gonna stop the deep pass what you can do is come up and nullify the progress that's the textbook tackle good play Florida State wants to attack Solomon because he's not very big but D'Angelo's had a terrific year the senior out of Decatur Georgia real tough guy no gain on the past so it's second and 10 as Gooch goes in motion and Busby puts it up again slant round wide open Peter Warrick breaking tackles and he'll have a first down over the 20 yard line they are so quick doc you have to give them probably more space than you can afford they take advantage of the space because they feel the void so far no pressure now off that Busby it's like 707 so you've got to get in converge and make a quick tackle you really have to credit what WIC was able to do against Lauren Busby is five for five that was a 16 yard completion another Florida State first down and fan will put it up again same play Warwick slips down or he would have had more yardage it will go for about 13 yards and another Seminole first down well it boils down to how do you want your poison if you step up and press them they beat you long if you keep them underneath great cats good hands concentration by Ward but I think it's wakes best formula 80 yards on six straight completions for that Busby underneath it's caught by eg green Reggie Austin comes up quickly but it's a gain of eight more doc right now it's the hurry-up offense that struggles for it makes it a struggle for the defense what can they do here to try and change the tempo well you want a little pressure more pressure from your front four if you can't you're gonna have to bring a backer or bring one of the safeties with you but I don't think your gamble right now put weight you try to get present like awesome did after the tackle wake shows blitz but it's held off and on the running play not much happening Dustin lineman again their leading tackler is there to make the stop the sophomore out of Boulder Colorado sounds really crazy - do you think that was again good side stop by my way chorus if you can entice Florida State to run you'd be a little bit better off because must be back there with no right it's just a matter of time for each one to get a big one on third down situation for the Knowles for the first time this afternoon Busby puts it up against the Blitz and it goes incomplete good pressure up the middle by Kelvin Moses Busby's first incompletion forces a Seminole pun that's just a great formula for Wake Forest you're gonna bring one of the back of this time right up the middle in his face and you're successful with it and for Wake Forest no penalties so it brings on Keith Cottrell a freshman out of Orlando to punt it away Reggie Austin the safety back at his 15 for the Demon Deacons Cottrell nearly had that punt blocked it's a line drive Austin trying to get to the corner will run out of bounds at the 22 yard line 8:10 to play here in the first quarter we'll be back with more from Tallahassee after this word from your local ACC station [Music] [Music] and no worries mate nothing that a juicy steak in our bloomin onion fix wanna join us [Music] sorry get a little cranky many times an awesome sty can Aussie good time get the Outback Steakhouse come again you're a kicker right no rules just right accomplished man I was happy to go back to school when I can get along with my husband that makes me very happy my family is pretty good my daughter my son seemed to be having good healthy lives I really loved playing with my grandchildren I guess we learned to changed part of living is living with the possibility of breast cancer [Music] [Applause] [Music] Ford Expedition the only way to get there are you looking for that red-hot gift this holiday the gift that's positive that's special something that's on everyone's list then come to Wendy's and get a spicy chicken sandwich made with Dave's own blend of pepper and spices heat up your holiday with Wendy spicy chicken sandwich and while you're there say hello to Dave second possession for Caldwell's offense they went three and out the first time Jim and his fifth year in his best season yet with his guys as they start at their own 22 with Ben Sankey the sophomore play action steps up tried down he'll go as it was Andre odds worth with another hint behind the line of scrimmage what's amazing that a guy can be that good and have played the nose tackle position at you before then come out and show this kind of agility I think what Ben Sankey does is real good at that point there don't try to make a big play go down take your lickin and reap in reload thirteen sacs best in the conference that tackle behind the line of scrimmage was the 17th time that watch worth is done that this year second and 12 for Wake Forest synching with time underneath test to PD Davis and he is out close to a first down the senior out of Charlotte with a good catch his partner on the other side Desmond Clark is the subject of our first report from the field in Mike hawkwood number 83 Desmond Clark injured his shoulder last week against Rutgers it was a separated shoulder he is really sore today but he's playing with a lot of heart and courage he wants to be out on the field he is out on the field and the word from the sidelines is it going to let him play as long as he can go well doc Desmond Clark being from Florida would have to have that much more incentive to want to be in the lineup for this one yeah that is a real large component for players to get a chance to play in front of the home folks and get it done for safety now first pure completion that field money's right on them you know the Vols right on the money good operations we show no fear so far and you know Jack I think that's the biggest problem if you play FSU is if you panic and if you panic at the quarterback spot you don't have a chance to beat him the fast and to Petey Davis was about a foot shy of a first down so lakeville try and convert on third down psyche on the quarterback sneak in he didn't need much one day show they fullback with the search from behind to make sure they didn't push his quarterback back we'll help from your friend I hope they I hope they pay attention to this because I think this is the only way you have a chance against FSU and that is right at them they've tried to run plays on the off side outside the tackle tight end spot and have not gained a yard yet so hopefully they'll put this file this away and come back two more things like it they pick up the first down Julian Pittman the nose guard going off as he and Larry Smith will alternate at that spot Mickey Andrews likes to play too too deep on that defense give as many guys experience as possible and keep them fresh and there's no drop-off that's the key senki on play-action gets outside of blocks worth down the sidelines for lick his tight end he had it and couldn't hang on at the wake at the Florida State 40-yard line good hit by take Cody at the end of the play James lick though had a shot at that one opportunity that if you hope to to play in the game and be an effective opponent against that fish you have possibly beat him you got to make this play I like sank he's calm see no panic still looking downfield those a little bit of a dunk but see that ball you can catch I think back to a year ago doc when Wake missed on an early opportunity in the Citrus Bowl away of the game when they played Florida State during the regular season in Orlando and could come up with a catch you got to make those a quick hitter and not much there Chris McCoy the freshman fullback really got toasted by the interior of the defense Greg spires was there to lead the charge we used to call these on office quick openers well this is a quick closer because look it's right there Cowen he makes the initial hit and then they follow there's always a scrape and a hit a top off guy with FSU that is a trademark Sam coward the Butkus Award final as two of the three finalists are from the ACC third and long for Sankey protection breaks down and down he goes lost the football it's picked up by Troy Saunders and Florida's state will have the ball deep in Lake Forest territory [Applause] been Sankey trying to avoid the rush lost the football and Troy Saunders nearly took it to the end zone this is the one thing that up until this point Ben had not done you can't try to be Superman in this position if you get away see now you buy it on free time you got to think to yourself take the second punt because our defense just had to first stop now you give him the football and you put him right in front of the goal line Tony Bryant a backup defensive end knocked the ball free and Tony's Troy Saunders comes up with the turnover 15 fumble lost this year by the Wake Forest offense Busby with a chance to put quick points on the board for the Noles he wants it to the end zone has he g green touchdown for the tenth time this year that must be an eg green Connect for a Florida State score and this is why you don't want to give them the football in tough territory Buzzbee they go right back at you he looks at it a little bit of a look off runs a nice flag route ball right on the money he comes out of his break touchdown Knowles Janikowski 'z conversion is right there and with five and a half minutes to go here in the first quarter Florida State taking advantage of the Wake Forest turnover increased their advantage to 14 to nothing is that Busbee finds the end zone for the 21st time now look look look the meeting starts at 2 that means we got to be in Toledo by one 45 [Music] we're not gonna make it hold on you turn here it takes us right into Toledo my man Jim saving the day you're sure this is right yeah I go this way all the time traveling is an adventure where you stay shouldn't be Fairfield Inn by Marriott [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] on behalf of the Atlantic Coast Conference we very much appreciate the commitment of our corporate partners in providing direct financial support to the conference and it's nine member institutions ACC schools compete for championships in 24 sports and provide scholarship assistance for over 2,500 student athletes annually additionally we have a continuing involvement with a number of outreach programs we're proud that our corporate partners have joined with the Atlantic Coast Conference in this important effort well here's our nation's Bank a corporate partner of the ACC with its salute to excellence question it's a tough one doc now you can have to think about this for all I know take your time hopefully you'll get this answer which ACC player won the Heisman Trophy yet bypassed the NFL for the NBA if you know that layup log onto the internet address on the screen that you see right there with the correct answer before the fourth quarter begins and you'll be entered to win two tickets to the ACC champions bowl game stay tuned we'll have that answer for you before the end of the game and of course if Florida State wins this game this afternoon they'll be the ACC champion and will be playing in the Orange Bowl and if you win our nation's bank question be in Miami too much better kick by Janikowski this diamond savage will stay in the end zone one thing that's a smart thing to do Wake Forest's will get the football at its own 20-yard line for its third possession trailing 14 to nothing next week we'll wrap up the regular season in the ACC with a great rivalry the Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Tar Heels 12noon from Kenan Stadium check your local listings for the station in your area carrying Duke and Carolina 14-nothing Florida State on a 1 yard or a short plunge by Khalid Abdullah and the touchdown toss room fatfuzz be the eg green florida state will try and shackle that wake defense again he awake offense again here is sank he will toss it to the tailback Herman Lewis and dr. I think when you try and run wide you run into trouble against this defense yeah I mean they've had of the four runs or so they've tried three of them down the outside edge and not anything over the guard center gap not to say that that's easy because they stopped him on that as well look at the honor roll but second in total defense in the country and first in Russia defense they allowed North Carolina week ago 73 yards of total offense for the game spiteful and you tried to catch up lots of guys up there in a box and they get the quick hitter out over the 25 yard line by Chris McCoy the freshman Sam coward to number one's meeting together there with the advantage this time going to the Deacons well this is what they need I think that's a formula you run right at them the old quick opener that way you don't put as much pressure on your offensive live and all they've got to do is make initial contact get a little Drive and let the back by the crease [Applause] that's the hick of the line back Daryl Floyd she's in back of the line that a heck of a student athletes maybe the best thing you can say about Darrell Busch third-down flags fly passes complete the Desmond Clark it's a first down but let's hang on and check out the penalty Dexter Jackson on the stop second catch of the afternoon for Clark Ronald Jerry has been busy already our referee heading up this ACC officiating crew of offsides on the defense the penalty is refused first down doc talk about Wake Forest's approach to passing here this afternoon well they're gonna go three step or a quick five five step and this you see it get back hit that launch paint get rid of the football you know that you're not gonna have a lot of time they know it as well and I've been impressed so far with Sankey and I know you as you watch Bobby Bowden they're thinking okay guys we want to nullify those first downs play action on first down senki going deep for his fullback McCoy hasn't go through his hands again Wake Forest with an opportunity in the little fullback had a great chance go by well you build these plays in to your offense and I know Hank small just probably ripped his headsets off it's so difficult to get a chance against a defense like Florida State's a little bit of a play fake bent SEC he sets up real well he knows he has it at that point is real calm see that's touchdown McCoy after the play fake is the lead blocker ran through the secondary but couldn't make the catch second and 10 Sankey from the shotgun this time bad snap ball is loose and Florida State is not able to get there this time as Sankey falls on the football but it's a loss of a couple it's the second fumble of the day that ball hit Ben right in the thigh pad well they've had a problem with fumbles as to 15 fumble at that point that's just quarterbacks in ER not being on the same page but how many times do you see it a missed opportunity and a touchdown then you get a fumble because the team hasn't gotten a bad play out of their mind a five-yard loss on the fumble making it third and 15 I don't like this situation against this Florida State defense almost a bad snap again now go psyche Tony Bryant and Andre Watts worth coverage sack as good as they are and those two guys in Bryant and wodsworth are dynamite but at this point when you get back we talked about the three step quick five well this is a long seventh and you're gonna go down you got to get rid of that football Andre wodsworth took 300-pound Brian Wolverton and threw him down like he was Raggedy Andy he is some kind of guy defensive end speed power this is for five up trip more had to get this one off in a hurry and hit it pretty well takes a wake bounce and goes out at the Florida State 30 a 47-yard punt in you keep it out of Peter Warwick's return capabilities so that's even better but now you give it back to that Busby who has been terrific well they've been able to pick up a first fountain they've got the first down now in the past two positions that being wait for us now they've got to strive to get to and they've got to get over the fact that they dropped an opportunity to score they've dropped two balls that could have been big plays for the Demon Deacons meanwhile Florida State for the 57th time this year on the touchdown to eg green at a play of more than 20 yards Busby will put it up on first down underneath David Moore going over the top of Peter Warrick all the officials in the stands wanted interference but if it more said no I did that's an excellent play by David Moore because not often do you find people on the inside that will challenge these receivers but he does but gonna bring it back unfortunately the dekes were offsides Fred Robins out of his tackle spot was ahead of the snap count it's the 3rd offsides penalty against the defensive front of Wake Forest another first and five opportunity for that Busby Mark Richt the offensive coordinator loves making these play calls Buzzbee the quick slant the Lavernia Scholz for a first down in front of Reggie Austin and beyond Kelvin Moses Cole second catch of the day in his 19th of the season that Busby has a chance to be the best single-season passer at Florida State history and his efficiency today has been impressive on first down to the sidelines Nicole's again for another first down at the wake 45 richie austin knocks him out of bounds Lavernia Scholz was a tailback in high school so you've got the speed the versatility and he says if it's a wide receiver it's a chance to play I think it's the ball in his hands and how do you bring him down most efficient quarterback in the conference's that Buzzbee 10 out of 11 so far and a touchdown won't hurt that at all Busby will put it up again this time it's the underneath man open tear saw here saw touchdown new florida state record the 10th touchdown reception by tight end Melvin Pierce all guys Lonnie Johnson's record pig tied in is rumblin had a score last week against the Tar Heels an intricate part of this offense like to see the guys and get a crumb every once in a while doing all that blocking see you feel like you should have gone down there he had an opportunity did he shows you that little bit of that old background huh athlete can Rumble and the conversion is good by Janikowski and Florida State as they've done so often this season with a burst in the first quarter they lead it 21 to nothing Pat Busby what a first quarter of football they are celebrating early here in Florida State another look at the touchdown Busby ball right on the money crossing route see another opportunity there missed by parish you'd least like to slow him down trip him up some way nobody else is even in the vicinity it's a 255 pounds hide in rumbling down basically untouched but down to the field to Mike hog would Mike yesterday Mark Richt the offensive coordinator talked about Piersall not being as active in the offense early on in the year why is that that's because jack they have such a young offensive line they had to give make Piersall help out on pass protection in order to give that offensive line a chance to mature but as we've seen in the last couple of weeks that offensive line has grown up in a hurry now and that frees Melvin Pierce off to go out into the pasture outs and he has been very very effective over the last two football games for the Florida State Seminoles you are looking at Mark Richt the offensive coordinator for Florida State his fourth year now directing the offense after Brad Scott moved down to South Carolina and he has been nothing short of sensational in that role as he is combined with coach Bowden and the rest of that offensive staff that really create a high-octane unit and as you mentioned patience is the key for these quarterbacks at Florida State Matt Busby had to wait the canal be mild savage who had a good return before this time can't get it out to the 20 as the special teams group of the Seminoles does a good job as we told you record tying cats for Melvin this year two ball games and he's a young man who probably will not be done with his football career after the bowl game in January oh no no he has a future of picking up checks on Sundays wake down 21 to nothing has been Sankey the sophomore in his second collegiate start bounces out of the pocket he did from Tony Bryan by Tony Bryant the junior has had himself a good first period as he gets the sack he now has a sack and a half today and more than six on the season for the junior out of Marathon Florida and you see the pressure inside but what you don't see on the outside is Cody with great pressure outside of Desmond Clark I mean he he Desmond alive and he didn't allow second any work to throw the football go back to your keys deck and look at the one that you said was crucial for Florida State you got to get open make some plays then they had to drop by a fullback with not getting it done second in along Sankey the slant picked off touchdown a 19-yard return was that tony bryan off of his defense events back murder aerobic the first collegiate interception for tony brian brian with five six seven tackles will losses here he gets a second this ballgame sweating it out to trying to get inside Davis with the slant great athletic ability gets out in the back catches that ball I could tight in and get to the end zone he's six for 270 and he finds the endzone not fair that's not fair Janikowski 'he's fourth extra point of the first quarter is right there and in the final half minute of the first quarter Florida State's lead grows to four touchdowns then a man can be this big and agile and get out in a passing zone catch him with his hands and then know exactly where to go I'm do you want some singing do you want some I don't think so probably deck he was an outside linebacker in high school and as he grew they moved him into a down linemen spot but still has the versatility to make a play like that he's still growing Florida State showing no signs of a letdown or a look ahead to Florida just what Jim Caldwell feared going into this ball game at dock let's get back to what you talked about in this first quarter wake knew they had to make plays to have it happen had two opportunities here to slow down the Noles with big plays on their offense didn't come up with the catches no they didn't they failed to do it the Noles have turned it on we have to go back to that NC state game when C State was down a fake 21 zip but they were able to mount a surge in the second half put some points on the board 27 27 points in the first quarter they were down and they were able to turn things around and make it very competitive and put some points on the board Tony Bryant two sacks forced a fumble and now the 19 yard interception for a touchdown Sebastian Janikowski would think he's still playing soccer with all the times he's booted the ball already this wasn't pretty but it was suspected out of the end zone that's power check out this number with the 28 points scored here in the first quarter by the Seminoles they have now outscored the opposition 139 to 21 in the first quarters this season that's usually the way you put a game away and you look at what has happened whatever the mistakes been obviously the Interceptor for a score of a dead ball personal foul all the kicking team that's a 15-yard Emily an automatic birthday well that negates a great kick the personal file taking place at the 16-yard line so the mark off will be out to the 31 so Florida State will see wake have a little better field position now the question is do they mark that from the spot of the foul or do they mark that from the 20-yard line because it was a dead ball foul and they kick into the end zone and that'll take it out to the 35 good job by one of the I think that was Ronnie Stewart the side judge you jumped in and helped out the rest of the crew and got to maintain control of working together there's Mickey Andrews the veteran defensive coordinator his 14th season as the defensive head here at Florida State first down though toss it to Herman Lewis trying to get around the corner gets a couple of tough yards out to the 38 yard line Sam coward is there again Dexter Jackson up from his free safety spot as well Sam coward kay Mays of North Carolina and Andy katzenmoyer of Ohio State the three finalists for the bunches award and what they all have in common is if they have no down linemen that could great penetration and allow them to have room to see and to get to ball carriers Jerry Jones on that last at last play Jerry Johnson that was quite movement there are those three gentlemen we mentioned that are the finalists for the Butkus Award of course that conference had five guys as semi-finalists a key down under an avalanche of garnet and gold back at the 30-yard line Andre wodsworth is probably there Darrell push gets off the pile and an appropriate finish to the first 15 minutes of football dominated by the Florida State defense and the passing of Matt Busby Florida State on its roll towards what they hope will be a shot at the national title they have the lead after a period [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I think he's gonna show it's not here and he's not gonna be this is day how could diet taste this good [Music] the Montana Grizzlies visiting the Delaware Blue Hens in a classic one double a matcha the Blue Hens safety he cuts across he's got an interception he's at the 44 45 maybe the first 45 5 8 3 16 into 27 ok TV timeout [Music] part of the great scene here at Doak Campbell this is one of the great venues for college football they usually see a very good product on the field fencing he's been seeing too much of that Florida State defense he faces a third and 13 on the first play here the second quarter he has been sacked five times today as Florida State just keeps adding to its total 53 in this their 10th game of the year shanky [Applause] Watts worth the game [Music] take a look at our Geico first quarter stats and as you would expect domination by Florida State biggest number doc has to be the temp of possession it looks like wakes at the ball the time but that's because Florida's dick just doesn't mess around get it done quick Lord the tackles now I'm going to need some help both Wolverton and fluid just beat right off the ball drip more with a couple of good points in the first quarter for Wake Forest [Applause] [Music] but that Hubble clock run down and now it ran out not really sure what that was all about profits now from a dead ball delay of game on the offense that's a five-yard penalty Jim Caldwell in the puzzle yeah I mean everybody looking to be in position yeah it was like when people try to shorten the game so more will back up five and if this one towards peter warrick again as the Florida State returned man waits at his own forty more with another good high kick [Applause] Warwick steps around the first way and look at Peter Lorre has more two feet let's fly however it's going to come back [Applause] Peter Warrick finds the endzone but there's a penalty flag back out at the 36 yard line yeah that was right in our view buddy and another flag down at the one-yard line at the gates a 62-yard return by Peter Warrick yeah we saw that right the middle of the screen might have a second penalty docked down near the goal line see what Ronald cherry says on the return on the receiving team potential penalty for holding also we have a unsportsmanlike conduct process the acceleration also will be administered so it will end up being a 25 yard penalty look at Mickey Andrews he's not happy about that I see middle of the screen 24 will come right up he's a little heel block but he's going to hold on to it right there middle of your screen and he grabs looks like that's Clark that he grabs and hey let's see if we can take a look at the second penalty here's Ward going on saying he's number one full prance drop the ball and see what happens well throughout the year there has been an obvious push towards avoiding the spotlight type of celebrating and it ends up costing the seminoles 25 yards in penalty Markoff to the 38 of the nulls [Music] Buzzbee the quick slant Warwick has got it again can he go of the distance this time gets chopped down at the 43 of Wake Forest a 19 yard pickup toulon perish on the stop Travis minor in the ball game now at running back for the Knowles due to Warwick unlimited skills of his Clemson he had eight catches for 249 yards and a lot of it is after the catch of course a killer move run Ted boy Busby again he's had only one incompletion on the day finds his target [Music] and it'll be another Florida State first down it appears as he gets the ball to Damian Harrell Reggie Austin on the stop barrel the 5th year senior out of Miami David siddell there for Wake Forest as well they've had only one third down play on the day that's the only incompletion on the day for that Busby Moses on a run through indoor inside on that one already over 200 yards that pass hit the umpire [Applause] Pearsall to the coverage of David's Adele sometimes doc don't you want to use as the tight end use the Empire as a big yes try to do that I don't know if that was his intention zu Dale had pretty good coverage on this he reads him inside all the way has a hand on him that's just good defense good coverage after six in a row the incompletion makes it second and ten [Music] everybody spread out buzz people throw it again going all the way incomplete as he battled with the Angelo Solomon in the far corner it'll be third and 10 good coverage by the little guy out of Decatur Georgia key to this one is that he locates the football there he's locked up and man he's looking inside reads the quarterback now he'd become to receive a slight little quit job they're the good ones have a way to do it and get away with it he pulls it off [Music] second third down situation of the day for that Busby [Music] three wide receivers and a tight end in the alignment for Busbee they pick up the Blitz Sullivan first down inside the 15 [Applause] they are so frightening after they catch the ball we're playing at it in the park right now we say that that's nasty I mean Busby again we can't take away the fact that he's putting the ball right on the money and see he got a no going in if I catch this I'm gonna spit on this guy I'm gonna take this guy that way and you call him there that's a lot to do all in one motion 60 plays now on the year of 20 or more yards by that Florida State offense Wow Busby look into the end zone eg green touchdown [Applause] second of the afternoon for the senior out of Fort Walton Beach and it's 34 nothing Florida State Mark Richt the coordinator I mean where do we find blade man when he goes over his field with his troops hey gentlemen you guys did a heck of a job but this has been a clinic so far Sebastian Janikowski with his fifth extra point of the day and three minutes into the second quarter that Busby with the passing clinic ongoing for the Florida State Seminoles [Music] [Music] it's amazing what you can order by phone these days most amazing of all you can buy car insurance direct from Geico over the phone you could even save 15% or more and who couldn't use a little extra money around the house Geico direct a better way to buy car insurance at 6:00 a.m. my coffee maker grinds its own beans wake up and smell the coffee I'm there i buy books on the internet i fax I email I am at peace the technologies so you think that since nations Bank lets Juventus about anyway wad big questions for me would be do I bank by phone or do I stop by Nations Bank on the net or do I use one of their two zillion ATMs you know what I I saw the nation's bank in person an old-fashioned guy this is Wake Forest University where the greatest tradition is offering opportunity to talented people each new hour holds new chances for new beginnings where small classes commitment to teaching and new technology gives students an edge Wake Forest University where a liberal arts tradition meets the 21st century lovely day here in Tallahassee with some beautiful scenery in the stands as well as Florida State leads it 35 to nothing fat Busby in his final home game as a starting quarterback for Florida State has been near-perfect this scoring drive took only a buck and a quarter it's six plays all of them passes and following a 25 yard penalty boom just like that that make it up speaking of boom Sebastian Janikowski bones it 8 yards deep in the end zone [Music] stay tuned at half-time for our Bell South you call the play feature as we take a look at a big call from ACC games past Florida State trying to win another ACC crown with a couple of important games going on elsewhere Virginian NC State thee loser there puts itself in jeopardy in terms of the bull picture in North Carolina and Clemson with a big game later on a death valley in Clemson Sankey we'll put it up on first down hit as he throws finds his man to BT Davis Sabini gets it out close to first down territory it'll be second and short is Craig spire son Andre wodsworth took a meeting at the quarterback but Sankey hung in there and got the completion yes thank you deserves a medal but just being able to survive this so far I mean the pressure from the outside ends I mean every stinking visit until you help me yeah I think that's the adjutant bed with use second in short they'll go in the I formation and he who hesitates is lost and this time the hesitation by Herman Lewis prevents Wake Forest from maybe getting the first end not that there was a lot of room but against that defense you cannot hesitate it was a ball carrier and there were seven helmets right at the point of attack what does Mickey say he goes to his film study and you guys you know what your socks are pulled up too high and yeah I think your shoelaces weren't tied tight enough talk about a brick wall look at wow that's that's unbelievable that you would have nearly half the plays go for no gain or a loss that's just terrific play he did get enough progress to pick up the first down sinking on the slant route Desmond Clark a tough catch Desmond Clark is playing with a separated right shoulder and he just heard it again on his third catch of the afternoon that ties the Wake Forest single-season record for receptions and he landed on that bad shoulder duck it was obvious that he was not 100% he's a Cadillac as a receiver big guy 240 pounds good forward lean makes the grab and going down to jack as you mentioned hopefully he didn't reinjure it or reduce locate the shoulder because it is just a lot of pain watch it right yeah look like sorry the role helmet yeah rolled right over on it it's the third catch for Desmond 69 on the year now for over 900 yards and that's what he had coming into the game the thing that the Wake Forest followers are most grateful about is that Desmond's got another year quickly let's go down to the field in Mike hawkwood the Wake Forest side lines have been shell-shocked guys they felt it was important to try to hang in in the first quarter they didn't do it and now they're trying to regroup Jim Caldwell has told his quarterback in his offense to run it relax it's been very tough for them to adjust to the speed of Florida State everybody's had that problem has played him this year but Wake Forest has really had problems in the line adjusting to the speed of those linemen they've adjusted a little bit now but sometimes the other guys are just quicker than you are but been Sankey is trying to relax and trying to get this team pumped up and those two pass completions may help just a little bit Wake Forest forced to use a timeout here is ahead some questions on substituting doc let's talk about that situation that Mike just brought up the inability for most team to simulate in practice the speed you're gonna face against that Florida State defense even if you go ones versus ones on your own side if you don't have guys like spires and wodsworth and those people don't then your tackles in this case flow and Wolverton don't get that look you have to put a DB on their edge to get a speed rush and a lot of times people do that the other aspect too I think that bears talking about what Jim Caldwell is trying to achieve when you've had sustained success like Florida State does you allow younger players to get game experience quicker because you can make those substitutions without worrying about the outcome of the game as much and it enables guys well Andre wodsworth was a walk-on right now might be the number one pick in the NFL Draft Kevin Smith as well and those guys get a chance to get experience while they win football games if they make mistakes it's hard to tell because guys make up for it by making great plays Sankey got the word from the sidelines from hank small the offensive coordinator jim caldwell and wake will have it first in ten out near midfield we'll put it up on first down the sophomore out of Chicago trying to go up the fire sidelines for two BT Davis good coverage by Troy Saunders Saunders who picked up a football earlier in the game that Richard junior out of Miami Florida and we've got an injured Florida State player down one of the Lyman looks like it's under 8 no it's Julian Pittman 95 the nose guard shaken up on the play see if we can see the injury duck moving in a good contact middle of the screen still yeh gets a leg turned over and then the pile got him pop might again it's a guy strong lower body 450 pounds presser with a 30-inch vertical I mean this is just let's do that 280 pounds they can get up to 90 Julianne up and looks like he's gonna be alright take a look at what's happening elsewhere in college football on this third weekend in November NC State needing a win to keep its bowl hopes alive with the early edge on Virginia up in Raleigh Alabama with the advantage at home against number 17 Mississippi State and West Virginia drilling temple the word is Ron Dickerson is going to be out as the head coach for the Temple Owls at the end of the season sanki rolling to try and get out of trouble and then just fired it over the head of Jamie DS to avoid the sack it'll be third down D's is well covered by Shevin Smith yeah that doesn't fit into the plan you got to get back three steps and let it go or his coach small mention a quick five but when you start trying to rotate the pocket now you're right in the face of the strong side pursuit this time coward he's right this face Bryant you have no chance Sam coward and Tony Bryant putting the pressure on working cane back who was trying to block on the place it you know the guys weren't that fast up in Canada when I played high school Desmond Clark back in the ball game Florida State with the Blitz they had the correct call the little flip out to Morgan Kane he was wide open but Andre wodsworth got a piece of the pass to break up the play I just love it when you see great pass rushes they could do the little things as well get their hands up if you doesn't get to the quarterback strong rush to gets that pop and the play is open you can see in your screen that Kate had some room so again that Florida State defense does not allow much for the wake offense and trip more will come on to punt it away Moore with a high short kick this time work will make the fair catch at his 20 yard line 1016 to play here in the first half Florida State in its final regular season home game has the huge lead back after this word from your local ACC station have you ever

government project I don't make one force can come between them Chuck Norris's Walker Texas Ranger CBS tonight [Music] [Applause] Ford Expedition the only way to get there will try and shut down the North Carolina offense in our ACC game of the week next Saturday from Kenan Stadium 12 noon the kick up doc Walker mike hogewood and yours truly Jack Gordon we'll have all the action for you beginning at noon on our ACC team of the week Travis minor the sensational freshman running back out of Baton Rouge Louisiana in the ball game he has been terrific since moving into the lineup midway through this season Busby will put it up and get it to miner a little underneath pass will pick up a couple of yards and it'll be second and long Travis minor out of the same high school as Warrick Dunn Catholic High School in Baton Rouge was the national Offensive Player of the Year a season ago look at that number Busby has been throwing almost every down he can't find anybody here till there the lawn parish on the hit but not until eg Green had the catch at the 36 yard line for another first down James Bill the coordinator for wait can you go that's fine now bringing another player of the year and put him in the ballgame it Busby shows a little bit of mobility and the guys having Wake Forest can't get off block you got to get off blocks and you must contain this guy me he's running free and will at this point that needed 417 yards today to set a single-season passing mark and he's got Piersall again Melvin Pierce all the tight end inside the Wake Forest 30 Terrance ubers saved the touchdown Busby might break the record by halftime John man has locked up one-on-one on Piersall who's having a game I mean when it I didn't kid slipped his own one-on-one he reads a good read by Busby fall right on the money you love to catch it in stride that means you can pick up big yardage my ex tight end partner up here has been jumping up and down every time they've gotten the ball to Melvin Pierce all this afternoon yeah but he that's football Busby to throw it again another man open again Lavernia Scholz but good tackling in the open field this time making the stop was marked mackovic the junior linebacker out of Pennsylvania when you get guys who are former running backs and they learn how to be receivers learn how to run their sights route come back to the football but you know they can run with it afterwards best because good defense by wait live down and as you said doc learn to be a receiver cut the top half of that ball with this hands not up against his body Buzzbee slammed this time merely picked off as Kelvin Shackleford dropped off of the line of scrimmage from his tackle spot and had a shot at that one with a big sophomore out of Farmville North Carolina boy this is another trend we see now Florida State we watched a little bit earlier with the defensive end that but Shackleford shows you why he's a down lineman and not an old tight in well that's it zone blitz you're back at you blitz the middle linebacker and you drop the nose guard off third down situation for the Noles to the sidelines Warwick nearly got away from the Angelo seller knows Damian Harrell number eight rather than number nine it's good for another Florida State first down interchangeable parts nice mannerisms start to look alike because they're so fluid guys are quick and they all have that Tennessee with the ball hits their hands I mean they're ready to take it to the next lump that Busby was a parade high school all-american at pace high school here in Florida was the state Player of the Year and he's got terrific fundamental skills gets this the minor and minor gets popped by Reggie Austin and got the better of it Austin is the guy who is still down it's a short gain on the play and Reggie Austin says why did you run that my way you come up and you just about to applaud them for a nice stick it - shows you some of those skills that we watched a lot of here at Florida State well listen to the contact here more it doesn't like kind of things war doesn't me the living in a up same high school he's a little bigger package in six one one ninety then Warrick who of courses having a terrific rookie campaign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers there's James Bell the first to your defensive coordinator for Wake Forest and this is a defense that's played pretty well this year they're missing Ajay Joyner Peppers they're terrific senior defensive lineman not seen much of Robert fat singer this afternoon as well he said some injuring props of late well you wish you'd have everybody healthy and raring to go when you face a challenge like you get here with Florida State but at this point in the season that's not usually the case and their quarterback Brian cook look if they have Ryan in the ball game there are a lot of different factors but still when you play a team that can sense now about being number one in the country let's watch it a replay watch the head here cuz usually you can see see you put you put the head down you really put yourself in the position the what things bad bad things can happen to you shouldn't really try to drop the head you want to try to both at Beckham and go through I thought it might have been an anguish might have been on the flip over duck because he's getting some assistance as he goes off the field that completion puts that Busbee over the 300 yard mark with half of the second quarter yet to be played Reggie Austin sophomore out of Atlanta Georgia in a couple of interceptions to go along to the numbers you saw there so if that Busby now is 108 yards shy of breaking feeder Tom Willis's single season passing record and there's still a game to go for Busbee against the Gators of Florida next week Buzzbee we'll put it up again now runs out of the pocket avoids a tackle Buzzbee down close to the goal line and close to a first end doesn't run it very often he's had a couple of touchdowns this year John Bannon and the Angelo Salomon keep him out of the end zone but it's going to be close to a first down to keep up at this pace that might have even break a sweat I mean he's set up and leader shows you that he can make people miss that's good football player Dave runs by it'll be just shy so it'll be third and less than one from the wake two yard line Abdullah the blocking back in front of Travis minor and we've got movement and flags fly again and it might have been Ross Brennan the freshman left tackle that's a five-yard family we played it down but outside of Kevin long the fifth year senior at center and Trey Thomas the fifth year senior at right tackle the rest of the Florida State too deep on the offensive line freshmen and sophomores most of them redshirt freshman so for Florida State to be number two and the eight people number one in the coaches poll with the number of youngsters that have played this year really is a great testament to Bobby Bowden and his staff and how quickly this team has come along and you're asked to come in and pass block which much more difficult than run block on third and five they flip at the minor out of the backfield good open field tackle by Jeffrey Myers and minor will be about three yards shy of the first what will the Knowles do on fourth down big Shackleford hustle though but he got it in a part of that trying to take away to cut back so you get pretty good penetration this shackle from center of your screen 73 he'll read he comes on hustles and here's miner in space he stumbles a little bit I think that cost me the Angelo Salomon hung in there to force miner back inside Myers came up to make the stop and so Sebastian Janikowski will come on to attempt his 16th field goal of the season I snare Marcus Olson got it down and Janikowski drilled it through Florida State trying to win its 13th game in 14 tries against Wake Forest they've got the advantage here in the second quarter [Music] [Applause] [Music] thinking about your financial future what better company to place your trust top 10 and the u.s. life insurance and growing fast a major provider of annuities investments and retirement planning solutions manages twenty two billion dollars in assets and does it all with some of the industry's highest financial ratings jefferson pilot vision to power your dreams stopping

you don't need Food Lion extra low prices and war now they're enjoying the action here at Doak Campbell they usually do Florida State nearly invincible here at home and they go off on another long drive that for the first time doesn't find the endzone but Sebastian Janikowski knocks in the field goals up the advantage to 38 to nothing we wondered whether or not they would be focused I mean that would be the challenge for the Seminoles following the Tar Heels win and of course with the Gators upcoming and they've passed that test so far here in the first half Janikowski x' kicked this time will come down in the end zone to jamie dese but he will keep it there and wake will have it under their own 20 coming up at half-time well what can we expect Mike Hawkwood has the answer well of course have some scores and highlights a lot of highlights so this came no doubt in the first apple also ever JP play of the week also Dave Hart the athletic director here at Florida State's gonna stop by and we'll talk with him about Florida State football there is a lot to talk about that's coming up at half-time in just a few minutes all right Mike this beautifully refurbished Doak Campbell Stadium they've really made this area the campus beautiful here in Tallahassee right now on first down Ben Sankey with the deep handoff to Herman Lewis with some Running Room good block by Desmond Clark and Lois gets it out to the 35 yard line best running play of the day for either team a 15 yard run by the senior tailback Herman Lewis Lewis was averaging four yards of crack and the key is this take advantage of the strong up fuel rush right there by the ends whenever you get in the end that time Bryant comes up field all you do is turn him out flow does that and then Lewis it's a chance to get some fun found air and some grass with the first time good block by Brian Wolverton on fan Rock Lee and the linebacker as well first and 10 and now line of scrimmage Julian Pittman my head too soon and then he and Brian Wolverton say let's exchange recipes at halftime [Music] their goal Prussian snap have offsides on the defense to five your criminal doc bobby bowden talked about the concerns of a little bit of a letdown and looking ahead I would think if Florida State was facing an undefeated Florida team next week their approach might be a little different today I think Florida well look at that score in the second quarter NC State still with the advantage of the ball game not quite the opponent they have been in the past couple of years for the Noles again they'll run that running play and the little counter trap but better diagnosis by the defense beyond Rockland Shevin Smith on the hit but then again Florida State has recognized and how big it would be for the Gators they would like nothing better than to knock the Noles out of any contention for national championship Bobby Bowden at the national championship in 93 and these seniors were either being redshirted that year or coming in as recruits so they want to have that as part of their legacy the little inside shuffle pass to Morgan Kane Kane in the open field up the sidelines run out of bounds by Samari roll inside the Florida State 30 30 yard gain on the little shovel pass we talked about NC State how NC State had taken that big thrust down early on and continued to fight back now this is an uncommon hole you don't usually see a hole like that against the Seminoles McCain has had some big runs in his career again good blocks down down feel good effort Morgan had the 87-yard touchdown run against this Florida State team best scoring chance of the day Sankey throwing the screen pass the two BT Davis who breaks a tackle Davis down to about the 22 yard line a play that looked like it might lose yardage Gaines about six seven Smith comes up with a nice tackle you know wait for us you give that offensive huddle and the guys are conscious of the score you said man we're down but we've got to get on the board that's your goal avoid that goose egg see there looked like a collision almost with his old guy Clark in good tackle by Smith third catch of the day for two Beatty Davis the senior his 47th night career blitz Sankey going deep for Desmond Clark contact but the pass will go beyond the end line and it'll be third down good coverage by take Cody is been Sankey found himself to the turf at the end of the play let's see what happens is we kind of tap this is oh that's tender fast tendon but I'm gonna line back to hit you like that that's the only word you'd be used for that that's mild tender whatever cuz that's not normally what they would do for you Darrell Boyce the senior middle linebacker actually a graduate student right now Dean's List nearly a fornix student here comes the dog zenki lets it fly again and it is intercepted in the end zone had to wait for the call give it the Samari roll Jamie D said I pulled it away from him but some re-rolled gets his conference leading sixth interception of the year it's a good challenge good idea by way to but you got to go for it threaten the end zone the ball is just a little bit too far inside and that's a great struggle the ball is up one is Jesse squeezin good call by the stripers sixth interception of the year for Samari roll the senior out of Miami Florida Miami Beach High School doc and I were talking last night whoever recruits the Miami area for Florida State deserves a little extra check mark beside his name there is quite a few from the Miami area on the to deep on both sides of the ball third turnover the day for Wake Forest and Busby is going to put it up hit as he throws looking downfield good coverage on the play by the Wake Forest defense as they were going for Lavernia Scholz makes a lotta happen set the pressure on that Busby it's tougher to do when somebody puts a helmet on your side then it's no longer like seven on seven it becomes live football Florida State has 324 yards of total offense on the day that Busby has been a part of 320 yards of that 312 through the air and then the 8 yard run on second down Busbee won't go down first sack of the day by Robert nope it's Davis Adel number 94 rather than Robert fat singer 84 siddell coming out of his demon spot gets his second sack of the season well the offense shows some spunk on Wake Forest deciding look look like they got close to scoring zone now the defense is coming in we had to play by robins and now who dill gets a sack on Busbee you know you can lay down in the game like this you can wait until the game is over to get back on the bus or you can come out and fight for pride now final game of the year for these Wake Forest guys for the seniors their final game in college must be on 3rd and law will go along for Peter Warrick and it sails out of bounds so Florida State will punt for the second time today and for the first time that Busby has a three announce situation as the Wake Forest defense was able to step up with 220 to play here in the first half we could call well I think that's all encouraging they're building a program and even though you're down and you're playing the number one team in America I mean you still have to show that you have something inside your chest cavity that ticker Keith Cottrell second point of the day fair catch taken by the Angelou Solomon just shy of midfield they'll spot it at the wake 47 after the 40-yard punt by Keith Cottrell now doc I'm from the Midwest areas where I live in the talk of course there is about the great Michigan Wolverine team and you wish there was a way that Michigan and perhaps Florida State could tangle but having seen Florida State on tape and now in person and having seen a lot of Michigan on tape I've got to go with the Knowles there's a little bit more in their package than the Wolverines at yeah they're offensive packages so explosive I don't know but Michigan's defense is awesome I mean it would be a game that unfortunately we probably won't get a chance to see but it would be a daddy for example power makes the hit on Morgan green of the first down play as they tried from the quick hitter The Associated Press top 10 has Michigan number one Florida State is number one in the coaches poll Nebraska is still unbeaten at Ohio State number is wrong the Ohio State is actually 8 1 they were knocked off by Penn State a lot of people in Ohio talking about the Buckeye still having a shot at the national championship few things to happen for that to take place Anki quick pass out the Morgan came I be able to run around Troy Saunders and get it into FSU territory down to the 46 yard line exhaling Jackson on the hit gain of about eight on the play lead at third and short for Wake Forest with 115 and the clock moving here in the second quarter hang small remember that play that play was opened before wodsworth put his hand out knock the ball down so they go back to it and five success wholesale substitutions on defense for the Noles one minute to play here the first half Sankey down to the 35 goes to Petey Davis and out-of-bounds it'll be another Wake Forest first down flag on the play however the dear sidelines at the 45 and let's get the call have all sides of the defense apparently is refused first now Jack looked like they'd looked as if that ball was tipped the line of scrimmage your concentration is kind of sidearms it to get it out it was tip no Davis is on the roll I mean he has really picked up the slack with Clark being injured with the shoulder you know Assange is showing me he's a fierce competitor tough guy play some defense in high school state champion who baseball you know 13 yard completion Sankey going that way again Samari roll with the good coverage on Desmond Clark playing with that injured shoulder big halftime show on tap coming up Florida State in their marching cheeps with chief Osceola and the rest of the group they they know how to have fun down here in Tallahassee I would love to see Mike Hogg would on that back at everyone that would just make my day I don't think the horse could be too no I don't think the horse will like it at all 28 seconds to go here in the first half Davis goes in motion on second down Sankey run out of the pocket trying to buy some time and then throws it away and there's a flag down inside the wake inside the Florida State 20 is Desmond Clark was trying to get away from joy Saunders we might have a defensive holding call I think you're right partner that's usually where that flag is thrown in that vicinity on the defense has a take on Finley an automatic first down see if we can pick it up duck talk about why this would happen when the quarterback gets outside of the pocket you look for the for the interior lineman there and see there it is little cloth whenever they see that cloth come away from the from the body you're going to get called a good call have a good call slowly but surely 20 seconds or estate here they come say he steps up and runs into one of his linemen it goes down at the Florida State 20 wake trying to call a timeout and they stopped the clock with 11 seconds to play Ben didn't want to throw we didn't want to run rapid he wanted to throw and that was a case where he shouldn't run I think he wanted to and ran into Brian Wolverton or Jeff flow I think then he starts to look I've looked a little tentative right about this spot yeah and I think he goes what do I do you know they're coming after you just a matter of time yeah well Wake Forest will have Brian couplet back for another year next season but I think these last two weeks with Sankey having an opportunity to play doc has to make Jim Caldwell and his offensive staff feel even better about next year because now you've got a backup quarterback who will have the experience and who can push your number one guy to perform even better and that's the key that your team realizes that they can win with Ben Sankhya so far I mean if you had a testicle in Florida State and you can hold your own but obviously you're gonna be pretty good for the remainder of the season game experience there's no substitute for quarterback they have to play in order to grow everybody in this conference Jim Caldwell no exception trying to match the sustained success than Bobby Bowden has enjoyed in the 22 seasons he's been here in Tallahassee celebrated his birthday a week ago with the huge win in Chapel Hill against North Carolina has lost only one conference game since Florida State joined the Atlantic Coast Conference and of course the winner will go to the alliance bowl and the number two team has a chance for the Alliance bowl or the Gator Bowl and Wake Forest has to use its final timeout they took so long getting away from the sidelines that the Hub o'clock was going to expire on them now they have no timeouts left and really that forces them to get to the end zone now rather than being able to get a completion and maybe run off another play after a timeout the conference with an opportunity doc of having at least four teams go with the setups to the Peach Bowl in the CARQUEST Bowl that of course provided they have the required minimum of six wins against 1a opponents that is what makes today's lineup so important with NC State and Virginia and as well as Carolina and Clemson a little later on should be a heck of a ballgame Georgia Tech also a team with a possibility NC State would need to win against Virginia today and East Carolina in their final game to get the six and five to be eligible Virginia needs seven wins because one of their victories is against one double-a Richmond in order to be eligible Clemson needs seven wins for the same reason one of their wins against a one double a foe takes you back to that dogfight last week between Cavaliers and the Yellowjackets eleven seconds to play here in the first half on second down Sankey look into the endzone for two Petey Davis too far you know they load up with basically one receiver so you got three guys covering him and you got three guys who can run with him as well and with six seconds to play Wake Forest will opt to try and kick the field goal Matthew verdict has a chance to tie the school record if he can hit a 60 field goal here this afternoon comes in 15 of 22 for the sophomore out of Mount Tabor High School in the winston-salem area movement on the line of scrimmage the Noles just gave him five prompted the snap false start that will move verdict back to the Florida State 33 so it would be a 43-yard attempt he has hit a 46 yarder this year Desmond Clark is the holder and this one will sail wide to the left so as the first half comes to a close near perfect 30 minutes of football on both sides of the ball for the Florida State Seminoles as they will take a 38 to nothing lead into the locker room at halftime Bobby Bowden heading towards the locker room my would wolf try and get a word with the veteran head coach let's head down to the field where mike hogewood is with coach Bowden coach there's not a lot you did wrong there in the first half looked pretty good no that's the best start we've gotten off to this year we had a good start like this against NC State then they came back here to beat us so we've got a hold on what we got it your offense though your quarterback Thad Busby seems to be getting more efficient every week well I sure hope so because I scared you who keeps getting tougher well what about this team now what do you tell them in the locker room at halftime when you're up to 38 to none just play hard just play hard play hard as you can that's all and we're gonna play a lot of different people so oh hope they can play hard all right good first half humpy bat and headed to the locker room his team is up 38 to nothing over the Wake Forest deacons we'll be back with our halftime activities here in Tallahassee coming up [Music] today's game is brought to you by Exxon the best way to get there by Food Lion X Grillo crisis and more by Geico direct the sensible alternative and by BellSouth BellSouth is proud to be the official telecommunications company of the ACCC advanced autoparts presents part number 64 ha Etta PDQ I'm looking for exhaust gas recirculation valve for my 76 cordova if you need hard-to-find parts it doesn't matter what model or even what decade your car is from with PDQ you'll usually get the part overnight [Music] advanced autoparts the best part is our people the dream begins here I have such a love for this game just just going out there and seeing you know the excitement built around the game I think we'll have the wrong game day is probably the best thing you know about 12 foot ball they come from big cities and small towns and they've been doing it for 45 years in the Atlantic Coast Conference watch their dreams come true with ACC football I think he's going to show how good diet tastes this good [Music] it has been all Florida State so far in this football game the Seminole I'm in front of the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest 38 to nothing we are at halftime and I don't think Florida State has done one thing to hurt their rankings in the polls so far and as we told you throughout our broadcast number two and the AP poll and number one in the country in the ESPN coach's poll so Florida State with a lot to play for today there has been absolutely no letdown at all this game coming in between games with Carolina and of course the game ahead with the Florida Gators the scoring got started on the very first series for Florida State they marched it right down the field tallied a dualist scored on a short run to make it 7 nothing that Busby and as you heard his coach Bobby Bowden say he has been so efficient in the last couple of games he's been efficient in the first half today that Busby to eg Green got the second touchdown on the board and it just kind of crashed from there for Wake Forest the defense just couldn't react to the speed and of score now 38 to nothing well another one of those touchdowns is our play and they're gonna take a look at that right now of course that Busby's we've talked about the first half he's had he's gotten his tight end involved in the offense in the last couple of weeks it's Melvin Pierce aw and here Pierce off the senior number 81 makes it catch it a great move and it's another Florida State touchdown there's one of many scores in this verse tab helping to account for the 38 to nothing lead Melvin Piersall here on his final day celebrating for Florida State our stat today total yards about three times as many for Florida State of a Wake Forest 317 to 107 and you know a disappointment for the Wake Forest Dinkins they had the ball in scoring position just before half-time they had a couple of errors with timeouts couldn't get a playoff and then they missed a field goal right at the end of the half no point still for the Deacons that's time now to update some statistics from around the league it's called our pepsi best of the ACC well show it to you right now we'll start off Jermaine Stephens of NC State 15 carries 142 yards on the touchdown last week against Maryland Jermaine Stevens among the league's leading rushers he's on top Raymond priest earns number two Jonathan Linton of North Carolina is number three in that we moved our quarterbacks now and Aaron Brooks of Virginia 19 of 26 380 yards and four touchdowns against Georgia Tech that bluntly leads the category Nealon Greene of the Clemson Tigers is number two and the launch favorite receivers Tony horn boy he had a game against Duke for receptions 119 yards in the touchdown Donny horn one of the league's best Tory hold of NC State has really come on and be into the season had a great year eg Green will watch it in play today what a player he gives and another Tiger Anthony Simmons takes over in tackles lead he averages just over 13 per game he passes GK and put away the Glenda's category most of the season Eric Barton of Maryland is third 38 to nothing on a sun-splashed day in Tallahassee everyone here certainly enjoying the football game as most of these supporters here are pulling for the home Florida State Seminoles we'll be back with more in just a moment [Music] down south present you call the play in 1994 the Florida State Seminoles hosted the Florida Gators in Tallahassee than olds trail 31 to three in the fourth quarter but after an offensive explosion by Florida State rod Preston sports with four yards out to pull the Seminoles within a point with 150 remaining on the clock after such a great comeback with Bobby Bowden go for the win or settle for the time you call the play I'm applying for a loan this is Nations Bank what's not this but you know the nation's bank gives you tons of ways to do your banking you can actually get a loan over the phone

page that and maybe a hobby even though placekicker dan Maui at this two extra points during the seat bummed out and didn't hesitate to kick the point out Bowery annexes Florida State Florida 31 31 you Paul the play has been a presentation of belts out lard-ass State and Wake Forest today is our HCC game of the weekend as you can see the Seminoles have been dominant in the first half you just joining us boy it's been an offensive show and a very impressive defensive performance as well as the Florida State defense pitching the shutout right now and one guy whose happiest baby of all is the athletic director here in Tallahassee at Florida State Dave Hart Dave I'm going to tell you this team seems to get better and better every week and I think now that they have a legitimate shot at that national title there is a lot for Florida State to play for Mike I've been fortunate in that I've been around athletics virtually all my life my dad was a football coach and an administrator I have never seen the quality level of leadership in any sport as a player coach or administrator that this group of seniors has shown this year and I think that's a primary component and reason for our success is they have just given us terrific leadership well you have certainly established and regained the dominance that you have in the Atlantic Coast Conference trying to wrap up another conference championship here today as it still been positive for Florida State being a part of this league I still think that the other teams are climbing up there and getting stronger every year there's no doubt about it it's been a terrific marriage our relationship and entrance into the ACC has meant so much to us and it's been so very positive and I think last week in Chapel Hill that was a great week for the Atlantic Coast Conference and I thought their stadium was wired I thought they did a great job of maximizing the level of enthusiasm and we got an awful lot of exposure for the ACC a week ago and everybody's getting better Mike and and we like to think that we've had something to do with that but everybody's getting better this is a fine football league as an athletic director at a school that's going to contend year in and year out for the national championship what about the bowl Alliance are you you happy with the way that that's progressed in what your opportunities are this year well again we're a type of program we've been so fortunate to have had the success we've had that every year we're trying to win championships we're trying to win the conference championship in the national championship and a huge obstacle next week down in Gainesville and that's always a terrific football game and we've got some work left here in the second half but that'll be the biggest game we've had played this year and that is often the case well you know as we drove up to this stadium today and all the fans drive up it has really taken on a impressive look all the work and the changes that have gone in here at Doak Campbell Stadium I know it's something you're proud of and you were telling min ago you're not through yet well we're working on a five-year master plan which basically will address some internal facility needs and we've done a needs assessment for all of our sports but as far as the stadium is concerned I don't think there's a finer stadium in the country both aesthetically and functionally than what we're in today well it really is Dave thanks for stopping to visit with us best of luck to you and the Seminoles and I know you'll be the biggest supporter of Bobby Bowden and his crew as they head on down the road thank you that's good to have you all with us tonight it's great to be Dave Hart athletic director at Florida
