bobby bowden's already checked in with bama on that there's a nice high punt by and ryan fair catch is made from the gun gonna go long and incomplete it is caught out of bounds by alex willis where's alex brown no story so far in this game [Applause] and here is third down the first third down of the game for the noise protection holds for winking goes for minor the running back well covered incompletely got it at the 39 and nothing doing great special team coverage we just need to win now the gators for the ball at the 39. palmer strike for a first down crosses midfield caldwell is the motion man it's graham with a hole behind the left side of the offensive line three touchdowns in our opening quarter the knolls struck on two passes they put the first one on the scoreboard a truce bell from chris winking then it was jesse palmer's turn and it is tied in walker and then snoop menace all alone in the end zone 14-7 second down coming up as we start the second quarter jesse palmer and he misfires with wells his tied in and the clock winds down good ball delay on the offense five-yard penalty third down again they'll back off gaffney comer to the middle intercepted cody picks off his fifth pass of the season for the nose got an alley and he wrestled to the ground by taylor jacobs the wide receiver but florida state with field position travis miner at the tailback you can see emmanuel of the gators itching over rain they've got pressure on wiki intercepted picked off by alex brown alex brown across midfield with an interception and a few words for the knoll sideline sort things out offensively that was an ugly series that lasted gillespie on the run and what was he drilled at midfield by derrick gibson one of the hardest hitting for the second down and 12. got caldwell on the slant and that's right at the first down marker the gators third down and one gillespie i don't know if he got it he was hit right at the line of scrimmage it's a long one if they snap at the palmer line waits near midfield they're going to lateral it to him so they try to freeze the nose drop it inside gaffney's down deep tries to keep it out of the end zone but it went in he was standing back in the end zone so regardless it's now chris winky on the nose and bolden slips down and makes the catch second down and four [Music] fires the bouldin and bolden is out to the 45-yard line yeah elsewhere could be the orange bowl if the right thing's unfold they're still very much in the chase says winky to the middle menace makes a great catch at the 25-yard line yeah gary they go airborne after a pass and florida is very aware of that this week again to the pocket fires incomplete menace was working out [Applause] the 11-yard line by todd johnson the safe day fumble knowles jumped back in they think they may have this so what happens florida's ball florida regains control palmer studies the right side throws underneath to graham the running back jennings makes the stop and second down and six here's graham and he's offended at the 25 and it'll be third down so it's only one of five with those third down conversions here tonight under pressure wide open graham the running back for the first down at the 41 yard line trying to mount a drive here with 8 46 to go [Applause] graham and nothing doing this is going to leave him in third and 10. so we come up to third

maddox 30. wrestled down by manuel at the 35 first down and 10 for florida state leading 14-7 both on their own 34 and winky hits bouldin again at the 45 first down out of bounds first down is 10. pump fake now by winky sideline and second down and ten now chris a high school quarterback switch to wide receiver here's winky from the shotgun on the slang complete again for a first down to smooth minus [Applause] menace had to play defensive back then blitz doesn't get there and he just drops it off to his fullback that time he put it into chad mater's hands third down and five frankie snaps it high and pull down first down walker nice grab for the first down be ready to play very soon there he is on first down on a play-action pass in completeness fire that time and benny alexander two running backs two wides play fake and winky with a deep drop receiver covered now throws back and incomplete incomplete needs to reach the gators 16-yard line off bowling's hands and in the complete it was deflected a 46-yard field goal with brett cimarrelli they've struggled this year with this part of their game and they struggle again well short nothing do it first 14-7 linoles still trying that running game with gillespien again with a three-man rush last time they got penetration says he's hit on the release and gibson almost picked it off from gaffney as a result and again mickey sets down three defensive linemen and on third down a deeper drop for palmer waits for him to clear throws to trouble double coverage there everybody else is reading the quarterback's eyes brian's punt takes a hop and thomas is going to let it roll down good punt inside the 15-yard line 3 46 to go in the and half with bowling trying to pull away from lido shepard who gets help over there and there's a lot of big ones today bowling has already caught seven passes today and a cut by minor in the hole to the 25 now pressure from behind and he gets it off to snoop menace who's having a career here in the first half gators show pressure how they back out and they'll run and they won't run far i mean the gators jumped all over that plague menace toward the top of your screen i think he wants menace got him on his slant across midfield first down florida state this guy's unbelievable play fake wants bell might be interference but no flag oh the linesman was looking at it in second down and 10. [Applause] gators show blitz they'll drop it off to travis miner an excellent receiver juggling walker out of bounds incomplete and now it comes to fourth down and it's decision time half in gainesville time with the electrifying return on the run from the 17 not today a little bit different type of athlete doing a lot of motioning on the to the two wide outs out there bringing caldwell in motion and then doing what gary suggested and the knowledge jumped it right now tommy pauley skater is trying to avoid any kind of a mistake down here graham to the middle so florida state leads florida 14-7 here both teams ranked in the top five in the bcs the gators with the football good field position coming up at their own 41-yard line number seven the senior jesse palmer under center here to start the second half there first and bless me the runner and again nothing going as derek gibson helps jump the line of scrimmage for the knolls palmer and the gators pulls back high incomplete crowd making a tough palmer does have time but he won't get the first down that way jennings makes a strong tackle no yards after the catch they return this rhine punt [Applause] almost hung but it went on in alex brown trying to get some heat they pass it over the middle they pick up six seven yards on them there's one of your future millionaires needing three they got it they break travis miner into the open up to the 49-yard line the best run of the game those will run for 37 yards and they get 23 on that play play fake from winky deep incomplete lido shepard all over snoop menace and now a penalty flag pass interference on the defense pump and run coverage lido's in there puts his right arm on him and holds him and you're going to get called for it every time that's a

miner again and now travis miner is starting to take this game over along with menace miner's last two rushes good for 30 yards wallace inside the 20 and here comes 23 again there is a senior from baton rouge second down and nine play with two tight ends trying to come to one minor again sprinting out to the left and written down by manuel out of bounds lido shepard will take him one on one here's your third down winky gonna look go for him end zone incomplete pass interference on the defense 15-yard penalty from the previous spot it'll be first and goals see menace create the space and then just as the ball is thrown there you see it he grabs him by the jersey first and goal from inside the five don't [Applause] [Music] [Applause] formation favorites florida state and it's 21-7 knowles time out the miami hurricane still with something to say about this along with the washington huskers and now carol the track sprinters cannot find daylight and knowles jump all over him he's down at the 15 yard line penalty is tacked on for the florida gators gaffney is off to palmer's left at the end zone's got gaffney coming underneath pony comes over and man in him but he's out to the 16-yard line lou holtzman shuttle second down and graham breaks first down and that perhaps the best one of the night he's got a first down now for palmer changing it up the crowd noise is a factor here not this time gibson that safety joins in the chase number six there's the tight end where has the tight [Applause] [Music] walker's now in the game punk fake coming down to where gaffney and almost intercepted he threw to double coverage that time standing so thomas is back university do you ever think you'd have a football field named after the family jack that's great haters are down by 14. they could use a big play on their defense they run at alex brown and he helps come off the block and helps bring the running back down that winky sees manual sneaking up now he drops back he'll go in that direction and throw too high benny alexander the defensive back on shepard at the 21-yard line and cuddle off still battling and nothing doing it doesn't work out we might see rex crosstalk he's just two of his last eight and uh zach that's the first sack of this game [Applause] half the distance to the goal 11 penalties for 101 yards against the gators here tonight gillespie darts the 22-yard line but not even close here's third down and 17. and caldwell but that's short of the first down [Applause] but that has stepped in there and played well and despite that painful left ankle and winking from the shotgun holds up again here's bell who scored the game's first touchdown run out of bounds and winky has thrown 302 yards now for the knolls against this florida defense movement down in there and uh all sides on the defense in the neutral zone at the snap five yard penalty it'll be a first down so rex grossman middle misfire that time to bouldin as alex brown was focused everybody's watching tv aren't they second down and winky on a sprint low diminish incomplete third down and 10 and leaky back there in that shutdown great protection he's going he's got a man touchdown touchdown florida state snoop 51 yards [Applause] bobble snap on the extra point so the snap was not on target and menace with a career night eight catches for 187 yards last time they scored they tied the score at seven so they've given up 20 unanswered points he's out of bounds david jorgensen the center down there trying to get things straight call out the blocking assignments connor fires gaffney's got it right at the first down marker they'll play florida in atlanta here it is first down after the gap he catch and a penalty flag stops the play dead ball false start on the offense five yard penalty first down tonight bobby bowden won't pull the dogs off he wants to impress the bcs voters and the computers honor steps away from it still looking for someone still waiting to come cross middle diving interception at midfield no they're going to wave it off that's what you've cut right across this play right there and that blinds the receiver rasheed caldwell and yes that was intercepted right there leading it 27-7 he's got minnesota [Applause] warren so steve spurrier and the gators will need a big rally in the fourth quarter 27-7 and alex brown will have to pick himself up as snoop menace goes the long way and alex like every gator is frustrated at what happened the knolls lead it time out winky and the knolls who lead it 27-7 we start the final 15 minutes from the shotgun another great job on the offensive line away from walker that time incomplete and the knowles will have to punt it away gators would love to get in and they had a little penetration that time but patrell's an excellent punter into the end zone it'll come out on the and the redshirt freshman from bloomington indiana steps under center here with first down as steve spurrier uses two quarterbacks fires complete and down at the 25 we asked steve but he did not handle them all that well here tonight second down and three as steve turns back to the redshirt freshman grossman quickly back fires first down to gaffney and out of bounds at the 39 and having to catch stream not on the golf course during the offseason looked at it and decided to go the one man down the middle got a man got him right away alex willis his first catch of the game the middle was open up let the guy go down the middle of the field so grossman gives him a lift and he pulls out again gonna go end zone but got a cover band there incomplete haters need to strike grossman trying to change it up has five wideouts intercepted picked off by cody his second of the game and take care to the 16-yard line a 58-yard return miners the tailback missed the wide out for monkey he was under center here's mike tripped up and down at the 13 yard second down and seven here's miner he battles his way to the 12-yard line so the gators man up on menace they'll want it again here's miner no first down and this should bring about a field goal but they still got nine seconds winkie's got the clock right fourth and fourth down and they quickly and there's the penalty flag on that shift dead ball fall start on the offensive assimilating action at the snap five yard penalty fourth down it's a 33 yard good florida state leads florida 30-7 with 10 42 to go [Music] it's not going to cost the team a lot of much like the lions they've got a young quarterback that's still unlearning could get a guy and have two guys so carol battles back to the 30-yard line not been a good football team disappointed it's a young team grossman back wants to throw that little screen and graham breaks to the 40 up to midfield so ernest graham people like to talk about it don't they sure do [Applause] [Music] for the gators trying to get something going here behind grossman good protection nice pass as he rifles it to alex willis first down and ten three-man rush pump fake throws along and incomplete and i want to tell you measuring that one again was cody i think that brock berlin has got a chance to be an outstanding outstanding florida board second down now grossman sets fires to the sideline and gaffney works it and he's out of bounds well they're doing it here tonight third down and one running for it and they've got it and ernest graham to the 24-yard line and a florida first down malcolm tatum checks in as a defensive back pointing out a blocking assist here comes the blitz grossman going to fire against the gaffney was held up and there comes the penalty fly there is the penalty flag pass interference on the defense 15 yards from the previous spot automatic first down there's that middle screen earning dashes for the end zone battles just short of it just down at the one yard line [Applause] and now the penalty flag dead ball falls start on the offense five yard penalty another critical penalty 116 yards second down and goal grossman to throw forward on the fair note third down when right at tatum didn't [Applause] [Music] tallahassee right now fourth down and goal short drop fade jump ball incomplete florida state's football man is called for picking up his hand and the five yards costly the gators and now are desperate to get that football back as travis miner slips through to the 10. and i guess from here it's up [Applause] down on that play bowden and the seminoles suffering their only loss of the season their only tarnish on the year travis and i dare say when they write the 15 yards 20 yards waiting for that play action pass florida state just keeps running the ball [Applause] slash first down again for florida state as they are way [Applause] at the clock craig rothberg roger riley brian mobileson and now miner working on the clock and our audio man team here is low snap blocked gators have a chance scooped up and a first and goal at the nine yard line it was a bad snap and uh here's grossman grossman backing up slant gillespie short of the end zone and this mickey andrews defense this one's for ego not the mix of the vcs computer here comes grossman [Applause] he was looking at the play clock instead of the game clock he made a mistake the florida state seminals go to the logo on the center of the field and the tradition here in tallahassee [Applause] and the war chan and the bowdoin burial ground claims another victim it is now 52 games and counting without a loss here in tallahassee since steve spurrier became coach he is
