Florida St. Is Perfect in the ACC
Tailback Sean Jackson scored one touchdown and set up another with a 46-yard option pass, leading eighth-ranked Florida State to a 36-13 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over North Carolina.
Corey Sawyer, who leads the ACC in interceptions and punt returns, added a 74-yard touchdown on a punt return for the Seminoles, 5-1 overall and 5-0 in the ACC. North Carolina is 4-2, 1-2.
Florida State quarterback Charlie Ward, the ACC’s total offense leader, finished 10 for 22 for 87 yards, the first time he has been held under 200 yards passing.
Ward was benched much of the second quarter after completing only two of his first eight passes and throwing the first of two interceptions. He has been intercepted 13 times this season.
