TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State's good day was made even better by what took place about 600 miles north of Tallahassee.air max pas cher
Behind 104 yards and two touchdowns from running back Devonta Freeman,
the No. 12 Seminoles cruised to a 48-7 victory over the Duke Blue Devils
at Doak Cambell Stadium. And by virtue of North Carolina's 43-35 win
over North Carolina State, FSU reclaimed control of its destiny in the
Atlantic Coast Conference's Atlantic Division. "I think they're the best team in the country. I do," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. "I don't see where the weakness is."
UNC's Giovanni Bernard returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown in the
final seconds to hand N.C. State its second conference loss, and if
Florida State can win its final two league games -- at Virginia Tech and
at Maryland -- the Seminoles will play in Charlotte on Dec. 1 for their
first ACC title since 2005. "That was always our perspective at
the beginning of the season, but after that devastating loss (to N.C.
State), it was kind of a toss-up," FSU safety Lamarcus Joyner said. "But
now we're put back on that pedestal so we have to take advantage of
it." Duke brought perhaps its most talented team to ever play at
Doak Campbell Stadium and one of the ACC's top passing combos in
quarterback Sean Renfree and receiver Conner Vernon. But the latest
edition of this series looked just like the first 17 meetings --
domination by FSU on both sides of the ball and a lopsided final score.
The Seminoles piled up 560 yards of offense and quarterback EJ Manuel
threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns, despite going just 8-for-16, to
help FSU achieve its first 8-1 start since 2003. Duke,
meanwhile, struggled in nearly every phase. The Blue Devils mustered
only 232 yards of offense, were penalized 10 times for 95 yards and
surrendered a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown to FSU's Tyler Hunter
while the game was still close. "Those of you who hadn't seen us, that's not who we are," Cutcliffe said. "We're a good football team. We were not today."
FSU was hardly perfect, though. After building up a 31-7 lead at
halftime, the Seminoles got careless with the ball, fumbling it away
three times on three consecutive third-quarter possessions. Florida
State lost four fumbles over the course of the game and, after
struggling with ball security in last week's win over Miami, has fumbled
it away six times in two weeks. "That's a total lack of focus
and putting the balls on the ground were just completely -- that's us,"
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "That's my fault as a coach and we're going
to get it fixed." The Seminoles' defense, though, made sure those miscues didn't matter much.
Renfree passed for a season-low 92 yards before leaving the game with a
head injury late in the second quarter. Backup Anthony Boone fared even
worse, connecting on just three of his 15 attempts. Vernon,
meanwhile, will have to wait at least another week to break former FSU
star Peter Warrick's ACC record for career receiving yards. The senior
from Miami came into the game needing 94 yards to reach the milestone
but was held to just 12 yards on three catches, both season lows.
"We try to take out players that are threats," Joyner said. "If you are
a threat and get our attention, we need to take care of that. Being
able to double him and put pressure on his side, that was the game plan
and it went through." NOTES: Dustin Hopkins' 56-yard field goal
in the fourth quarter gave him 80 for his career, tying him with former
Maryland kicker Nick Novak for the most field goals in ACC history ...
Senior linebacker Christian Jones recorded eight tackles in the first
quarter and finished with a team-high 11 ... FSU scored at least 31
points in a first half for the fourth time this season ... James Wilder
Jr.'s 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter gave him 10 scores for the
season, making him the first Seminole to reach that mark since 2009.

No pressure for Chase leader Keselowski
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Brad Keselowski talks as though racing is simply business as usual.
The 28-year-old leads NASCAR’S Chase for
the Sprint Cup. While his margin on five-time champion Jimmie Johnson
is just seven points and perennial contender Denny Hamlin is only 20
points back, Keselowski dismisses talk that being chased means pressure.
“I feel good about our situation,” he
said. “I love the way we performed over the last few weekends — really
over the Chase. You want to win every race and obviously that hasn’t
happened, but that’s not realistic, either. But we’ve been fortunate to
win two races and be in contention for others. Even when we don’t win,
we seem to be able to find a way to not have a disaster out of it.”
That might be harder Sunday at
Martinsville Speedway, where Johnson is on the pole, Hamlin will start
fifth and the two have combined to win 10 times. Keselowski has never
finished better than ninth; he’ll roll off 32nd, back where mayhem can
ruin a driver’s day quickly.
Johnson and Hamlin have started back in
the field and rallied to good finishes. Johnson started 22nd here in the
spring and contended for the victory before fading to 12th.
This time around, he’d love to see
Keselowski struggle early because the leader typically reaches the tail
end of the field and starts lapping cars before 20 laps have been
completed. That makes it critical for a contender starting near the back
to drive his way out of trouble quickly.
“You have got to go,” Johnson said.
“Everybody around you has that same mentality, too, so it can be pretty
cut- throat back there.”
Even if Keselowski rallies into
contention, Hamlin figures the air of calm surrounding the season’s
final three races will be harder to maintain the longer it lasts.
“You can put that iron-clad armor around
you and think that it’s not going to affect you, but it will
eventually,” Hamlin said. “It doesn’t matter whether you are going from
the divisional game to the championship series; it just continues to
build and get harder to block out everything that you hear.”
Hamlin finished third in the Chase in
2006 and was second in 2010. He and Keselowski share the series lead
with five victories, and Hamlin thinks No. 6 would put him right in the
thick of things.
“If we win, then it is going to be huge
momentum,” he said. “If for some reason we can lead the most laps and
win the race, that’s half of our deficit that we’ve got that we can
knock out in one week. This place will build momentum, or it will take
it. You just hope you are on the first side of that.”
Thanks to his history of closing the deal, Johnson would seem to be the favorite.
“When it gets playoff time, things happen,” he said. “I don’t want to put my guard down.”

Giants on to World Series With 9-0 Win Over Cards
After all the Giants had overcome to get back to the World Series, a late shower wasn't about to dampen their celebration.
All right, it was a driving downpour.
So reliever Sergio Romo danced through the raindrops, Tim Lincecum helped lead a soaked victory lap around the ballpark and Angel Pagan stayed on the field with his daughter long after his teammates took the party indoors.
Hunter Pence got the Giants going with a weird double, Matt Cain pitched his second clincher of October and San Francisco closed out Game 7 of the NL championship series in a rainstorm, routing the St. Louis Cardinals 9-0 on Monday night.
"The rain never felt so good," series MVP Marco Scutaro said. "We're going to the World Series, this is unbelievable."
San Francisco won its record-tying sixth elimination game of the postseason, completing a lopsided rally from a 3-1 deficit.
The Giants, who won it all in 2010, will host reigning AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, Triple Crown slugger Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 on Wednesday night.
Verlander is set to pitch Wednesday's opener at AT&T Park. Giants manager Bruce Bochy insisted before Monday's game he had not planned any further in advance.
Scutaro produced his sixth multihit game of the series and matched an
LCS record with 14 hits and Pablo Sandoval drove in a run for his fifth
straight game.
"These guys never quit," Bochy said. "They just kept believing and they got it done."
After falling behind 3-1 in the series at Busch Stadium, the Giants outscored the wild-card Cardinals 20-1 over the final three games behind stellar starting pitching from Barry Zito, Ryan Vogelsong and Cain.
They also benefited from some strange bounces.
On Pence's double that highlighted a five-run third, his bat broke at the label on impact, then the broken barrel hit the ball twice more. That put a rolling, slicing spin on the ball and caused it to change directions — leaving shortstop Pete Kozma little chance to make the play. Kozma broke to his right, figuring that's where the ball would go, but it instead curved to left-center.
"It was going to go in the hole and it ended up going up the middle," Kozma said.
Injured closer Brian Wilson, with that out-of-control bushy black beard, danced in the dugout and fans in the sellout crowd of 43,056 kept twirling their orange rally towels even through rain in the late innings — a downright downpour when Romo retired Matt Holliday on a popup to Scutaro to end it.
Romo embraced catcher Buster Posey as fireworks went off over McCovey Cove beyond right field.
"It's just very fitting the way everything has gone for us this season," Romo said of ending in the rain. "The ups and downs, the injuries, the personal issues, whatever. What a ride for us all. It's very, very fitting that it rained right there."
The NL West champion Giants won their first postseason clincher at home since the 2002 NLCS, also against the Cardinals.
These 2012 Giants have a couple of pretty talented castoffs of their own not so different from that winning combination of 2010 "castoffs and misfits" as Bochy referred to his bunch — with Scutaro right there at the top of the list this time around.

Peyton Manning is looking like an MVP again; who else?
And Manning's second-half magic provided a fitting comeback within his own remarkable return from four surgical procedures on his neck.
"I felt like I was watching the Peyton from back in 2003 through 2009. His performance was spectacular," Manning's former offensive coordinator Tom Moore told USA TODAY Sports Tuesday. "Don't ever count Peyton Manning out."
Manning hit 13 of 14 passes for 167 yards and three touchdowns during his second-half clinic. He has 14 touchdowns and four interceptions, with three of those picks coming in one quarter of a Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Manning's 21-yard TD strike Monday night to Brandon Stokley's fingertips, a beat ahead of cornerback Marcus Gilchrist, underscored that Manning is not only Comeback Player of the Year frontrunner, but he is the lead MVP candidate six weeks into the season. And if the race is close at the end, he will be a heavy sentimental favorite.
A look at the early MVP contenders:
QB Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos
He now has 47 game-winning fourth-quarter drives, by the way.
Why he'll win: He is completing 67.8% of his passes and figures to get even better with his new cast.
Why he won't: He must cover for a defense that has issues against the run.
QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
The reigning league MVP answered critics with a six-touchdown torching of Houston's vaunted defense.
Why he will win: With 16 TDs and a league-best 105.4 rating, he's the game's most talented passer.
Why he won't win: The lack of a run game could haunt him on an off-day.
QB Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
He was the leader in the clubhouse until three INTs Sunday against a woeful Oakland Raiders secondary.
Why he'll win: He has lethal weapons in WRs Roddy White and Julio Jones and tight end Tony Gonzalez.
Why he won't: Under pressure, he's vulnerable to making poor decisions.
QB Eli Manning, New York Giants
The two-time Super Bowl MVP has never been a regular-season MVP, but he's still getting better at 31.
Why he will win: Ahmad Bradshaw's running has removed the need for all those comebacks.
Why he won't win: He'll never put up stratospheric numbers.
Leading candidates for other awards
Rookie of the Year: Redskins QB Robert Griffin III is the league's most exciting player, with 6 rushing scores, 5 passing TDs and only two interceptions.
Defensive Player of the Year: Houston Texans DE J.J. Watt leads the league with 9 1/2 sacks and has an uncanny knack for batting down passes.
Coach of the Year: Despite injuries, Giants coach Tom Coughlin and his defending Super Bowl champs made a statement by thrashing San Francisco.
