SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Dalvin Cook wasnt about to accept all the accolades for his latest achievement.Cook ran for 225 yards and four touchdowns to become Florida States career rushing leader, and the 17th-ranked Seminoles beat Syracuse 45-14 on Saturday.Cook entered the game needing 19 yards to break Warrick Dunns 20-year old school record for rushing (3,959) and did so with a 41-yarder in the first quarter. He finished the first half with 104 yards to become just the sixth player in Atlantic Coast Conference history to reach 4,000 yards and the first to do it in three years.Im blessed to be where Im at, said Cook, who departed early in the fourth quarter after a tough hit knocked the wind out of him. Im really proud of my guys. I give all the credit to those guys (offensive line) and coaches for putting me in the position. They did a great job of giving me the opportunity to be at the top of this list, so Im just thankful.Florida State (8-3, 5-3, No. 17 CFP) won for the fifth time in six games despite four turnovers. Syracuse (4-7, 2-5) suffered its third straight loss.Syracuse starting quarterback Eric Dungey again warmed up before the opening kickoff but did not play for the second straight game. The sophomore has been out since suffering a vicious hit to the shoulder-head area in the first quarter against Clemson two weeks ago.Backup Zack Mahoney had trouble generating any consistency on offense against the Seminoles defense. Florida State intercepted two passes, registered eight sacks, and forced 10 punts in limiting the Orange to 3.2 yards per play. FSU averaged 8.6 yards per play, outgained Syracuse 654-233, and only had four more plays than the Orange.Offensively, it was just very difficult to move the ball, Syracuse coach Dino Babers said. They pressured our quarterback, overpowered our offensive line. A lot of old guys against a lot of young guys. We didnt play very well.Mahoney finished 16 of 36 for 196 yards, but he did have one lucky strike. He hit Amba Etta-Tawo with a 46-yard Hail Mary on the final play of the first half. Etta-Tawo caught the ball in double coverage at the right corner of the end zone.If Syracuse had hopes the big play would provide a spark, Cook dashed those hopes with three touchdowns in the third.After tight end Ryan Izzos 39-yard reception on the first possession of the third quarter, Cook scored on an 11-yard run and added two more scores in the period, from 17 and 8 yards. That matched his career high for TDs in a game and boosted his season total to 18.Cook also had 47 yards on Florida States third scoring drive, capping it with a 25-yard TD run for a 21-0 lead in the second.I think it is a privilege and an honor to not only have a teammate like him, but just a person like him, FSU offensive lineman Roderick Johnson said. Hes not selfish at all. My hats off to Dal.The Seminoles scored on their first two possessions. Deondre Francois hit Nyqwan Murray with a 16-yard TD and followed with a 15-yard scoring toss to Travis Rudolph.On the road, good win, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. I loved the way we started the game. We came out fast.Florida State sacked Mahoney four times in the first quarter alone, and even when Brisly Estime gave the Orange tremendous field position with a 42-yard punt return into Florida State territory, the offense sputtered with a three-and-out.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida State: The Seminoles kept their momentum going to reach an upper-tier bowl game, and if Cook keeps up his strong season and that opportunistic defense continues its stellar play, the Seminoles will be difficult to beat.Syracuse: The Orange has had a difficult time without Dungey. Winning for the fifth time this season next week on the road at Pittsburgh is necessary to even be considered for a bowl game, but if Dungey is through for the year that will be a tall task. Pitt drilled Duke 56-14 on Saturday.BIG NUMBERS: Cook has seven 100-yard games this season and boosted his career rushing total to 4,166 yards.RECEIVERS GALORE: Francois was 18 of 28 for 315 yards and completed passes to six different receivers, led by Auden Tate (five catches, 77 yards) and Rudolph (five catches, 64 yards).POLL IMPLICATIONS: With LSUs loss to Florida, Florida State will move up at least a little bit in the rankings for both the AP Top 25 and College Football Playoffs.UP NEXTFlorida State: Finishes its regular season at home next Saturday against in-state rival Florida.Syracuse: Closes its regular season on the road next Saturday against Pittsburgh.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947Arquimedes Gamboa Jersey .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final. Philadelphia Phillies Pro Shop . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. https://www.cheapphilliesjerseys.us/757n-eric-bruntlett-jersey-phillies.html .ca!

To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans.ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia offensive coordinator Jim Chaney says the health of the Bulldogs top running backs could help decide who opens the season as the starting quarterback.Star tailback Nick Chubb ran with the first-team offense on Saturday as he continues his recovery from left knee surgery midway through the 2015 season. So far, Chubb has been practicing with no restrictions, but Georgia has not been tackling to the ground.Sony Michel, who replaced Chubb as the starter, is recovering from a broken left forearm he suffered in an offseason ATV accident. He is wearing a cast on the forearm and has not been cleared for contact.Among the options at tailback are freshmen Elijah Holyfield, Brian Herrien and Tae Crowder and senior Brendan Douglas.At quarterback, returning starter Greyson Lambert has been sharing snaps with freshman Jacob Eason and junior Brice Ramsey. Ramsey also is competing at punter.Georgia coaches might be less inclined to give Eason his first start in Georgias opener against North Carolina on Sept. 3 in Atlantas Georgia Dome if Chubb and Michel are not cleared to play.I think youd be a fool if you didnt consider that a little bit early on, Chaney said Saturday.Chaney said first-year coach Kirby Smart is very aware of that and sensitive to those issues. Chaney added that ultimately he wants the best quarterback on the field.Inevitably it will be decided on which one of those boys can move the team down the field and put up points, Chaney said in his first news conference at Georgia.Smart said he has given the three quarterbacks equal opportunities to win the starting job. The three have traded days with the first-team offense. Saturday was Easons turn as Georgia continues to install Chaneys offense.I cant tell you anybody stood out more than anybody else riight now, Smart said.dddddddddddd. Its too early. Theyre still in the installation process which sometimes can be overwhelming.Chaney has led offenses for 30 years at such schools as Arkansas, Tennessee, Purdue and Cal State-Fullerton. He said this is the first time hes had three quarterbacks he would have confidence to start.Its a big deal for me, Chaney said. Ive not had three guys who can go out and play.The depth is nice, but Chaneys impatience to find a starter showed on Friday when he said I got a little upset with them.I told them one of them needs to start emerging a little bit here, he said. Show a little bit more. ... The competition is hot and its alive ... and its been fun to watch.A few hundred fans accepted Smarts invitation to attend an open practice at Sanford Stadium held before the annual fan day schedule.It was a rare opportunity for fans and media to watch a full practice.Eason drew a big cheer when he connected with freshman Tyler Simmons on a long touchdown pass.Game notesSmart doesnt agree with the decision of his former boss, Alabama coach Nick Saban, to block the attempt of Alabama graduate student Maurice Smith, a defensive back, to transfer to Georgia. Saban blocked his transfer to SEC schools. Because Smith is a potential recruit, Smart wouldnt comment on the player. Asked about the rule, Smart said he would support a Georgia player who had graduated and wanted to transfer to another graduate school. Asked if that included another SEC school, Smart said Absolutely. ... DT John Atkins was held out with a knee injury. Smart said Atkins status is day to day.---AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
