18th-ranked Wake Forest shuts out Florida State

Football Betting Lines

11/12/2006 - Tallahassee, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Riley Skinner threw for 138 yards and a touchdown and Kevin Patterson returned an interception 48 yards for a score as 18th-ranked Wake Forest shut out Florida State, 30-0, in ACC action at Doak Campbell Stadium.

Skinner completed 13 of his 19 passes and Sam Swank kicked three field goals for the Demon Deacons (9-1, 5-1 ACC), who have won four in a row.

Kenneth Moore accounted for 115 yards of offensive, including 80 rushing yards on 24 carries in the win.

Xavier Lee and Drew Weatherford shared the quarterbacking duties, combining for just 113 yards passing with two interceptions each for the Seminoles (5-5, 3-5), who were held scoreless for the first time since 1988, when they lost to Miami, 31-0.

Offensively, Florida State couldn't get anything going and were held to just 139 total yards, compared to Wake Forest's 307.

The last time the Seminoles were shut out at Doak Campbell Stadium was in 1973, when they fell to Kansas, 28-0.

Swank's 20-yard chip shot put Wake Forest up 3-0 with 7:16 remaining in the first quarter. John Tereshinski's 24-yard reception coupled with a roughing the passer penalty on Florida State's Alex Boston advanced the nine-play, 69- yard series.

The Seminoles had a chance to score when they put together a 61-yard drive that bridged the first and second quarter, but failed to tie the game when Gary Cismesia missed a 46-yard field goal wide left.

After a three-and-out by the Demon Deacons, Florida State took over at its own six-yard line. On 3rd-and-8, however, Lee was intercepted by Alphonso Smith, which setup a 25-yard field goal by Swank to put Wake Forest up by six.

Then, on the first play of the Seminoles' ensuing possession, Lee was picked off again, this time by Stanley Arnoux to give the Demon Deacons the ball at Florida State's 18. Wake Forest wasted no time in taking a 13-0 lead as Skinner connected with Tereshinski for an 18-yard touchdown with 9:12 left in the half.

Rich Belton's 33-yard rushing touchdown capped a nine-play, 63-yard march to give the Demon Deacons a 20-point cushion with 2:39 until halftime. Kevin Marion had a 13-yard run and Moore picked up 12 yards on three carries during the series.

In the third quarter, Swank split the uprights on a 51-yard field goal to finish a 10-play possession with 3:31 left. Moments later, Patterson intercepted a Weatherford pass and took it 48 yards to the end zone, extending Wake Forest's lead, 30-0.

Game Notes

Florida State's Lorenzo Booker rushed for just 11 yards on eight carries...Moore finished with five catches for 35 yards...Florida State still holds a 21-3-1 series lead.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
