What They Are Saying The Day After FSU's Win Over Duke

"Coach Bobby Bowden said FSU's five touchdowns - including one from Xavier Lee - was a credit to FSU's offensive line and the pass protection.

“Alabama really had a problem with that last week,” Bowden said of Alabama's hard-fought win over Duke. “They would rush eight people. You'd have guys free and the quarterback didn't have time to throw. Good thing we could catch and throw.”

"Now somebody will surely ask, 'What does this mean?' " Coach Bobby Bowden said, beating his inquisitors to the punch in his postgame news conference. "It means one thing: We're 4-2. That's all it means. It's better than 3-3."

"Before half-empty Wallace Wade Stadium, the Seminoles threw three interceptions in a span of four second-quarter possessions (all by backup Xavier Lee), gave up a safety, fumbled a punt, and even spotted Duke one of their few remaining linebackers."

"You won. You're proud of it, and you're disappointed for letting a team score that many points," Seminoles defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews said. "Of course, the defense didn't give up all those points. At one point, we had scored more points than Duke had."

Fortunately for FSU, Duke's penchant for blitzing opened the door for many plays to be made through the air, and Weatherford was more than happy to oblige."

''We're where we want to be,'' linebacker Buster Davis said. ``We still can be in Jacksonville [for the ACC title game]. We've just got to win the rest of our games.''
FSU can improve its position even more next Saturday when No. 25 Boston College, fresh off Thursday's victory at Virginia Tech, visits Tallahassee."
