This week B.C. meant Ball Control. FSU played smart and aggressive, got four turnovers, and hogged the ball, keeping Maryland's offense chilling on the sidelines. The result was some memorable numbers:
36:02 Time of possession
8:19 Time of FSU's first drive of the second half, eating more than half the third quarter and resulting in a Gano field goal
172 Yards rushing by Nole runners
81 Rush yards by Ponder alone
3 of 3 Gano field goals, with a longest of 48 yards
252 Total yards allowed by the Seminole D
6 Sacks of Terps' QB Chris Turner
3.5 Sacks just by Everette Brown
9.20.03 Date of the last game FSU beat an ACC opponent by a bigger margin (56 -7 vs. Duke)
2000 Year when the Noles last beat a ranked team on the road by a bigger margin
17 - 2 FSU's lead in the series with Maryland
