20th-ranked FSU routs Samford
NCAA Football Betting Lines
09/04/2010 -
Tallahassee, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Christian Ponder threw for 167 yards and
four touchdowns in just one half of action, as 20th-ranked Florida State began
the post-Bobby Bowden era with a 59-6 rout of Samford at Doak Campbell
Stadium.
Bowden, who was also the head coach at Samford from 1959-62, spent 34 years
with the Seminoles. He reluctantly called it quits after a 7-6 mark in 2009
and Jimbo Fisher, a former Samford quarterback who had been anointed the FSU
head coach in waiting after three years as a Bowden assistant, finally took
over on the Seminole sideline.
Ty Jones ran for 107 yards and a score for the Seminoles (1-0), who dominated
from the start and outgained the Bulldogs 481-300. Jermaine Thomas and Chris
Thompson also ran for touchdowns and Lonnie Pryor caught pair of scoring
passes from Ponder, who finished 12-of-14 with an interception.
Dustin Taliaferro completed 22-of-32 passes for 174 yards with an interception
for Samford (0-1), which plays in the FCS out of the Southern Conference.
Florida State's first offensive series ended with an interception of a tipped
Ponder pass inside the Samford 10-yard line, but the Seminoles came right back
and marched 47 yards in six plays for a score on their next possession. Ponder
keyed the set with a 22-yard pass to Thomas on 3rd-and-2 and finished it with
a four-yard toss to Pryor for a 7-0 lead.
Ponder threw a 15-yard scoring pass to Bert Reed early in the second quarter
to cap a five-play, 51-yard series and the Seminoles blocked a punt deep in
Samford territory soon after, leading to a four-yard touchdown run by Thomas
for a 21-0 cushion with 11:21 to play in the opening half.
The Seminoles continued to pile it on in the second quarter, as Greg Reid
returned a punt 74 yards for a score and Ponder connected with Pryor for an
eight-yard touchdown pass on the first play after an interception to make it
35-0. Ponder then finished Florida State's next offensive series with an 11-
yard TD pass to Taiwan Easterling before Samford finally got on the board as
the half concluded with a 41-yard field goal from Cameron Yaw.
EJ Manuel took over for Ponder to start the second half and was intercepted on
Florida State's first possession. The Bulldogs converted the turnover into a
32-yard field goal from Yaw midway through the third quarter.
The Seminoles needed just two plays to answer, as Manuel threw a 14-yard pass
to Reed and Jones found a huge hole in the line on the way to a 57-yard
touchdown run.
Thompson's nine-yard scoring run on the first play of the fourth quarter
extended the advantage to 56-6 and Dustin Hopkins kicked a 24-yard field goal
with just over 6 1/2 minutes left to account for the final margin.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
