Tallahassee - Florida State was back in the national spotlight. But his return to national glory will have to wait to first order in Oklahoma up to its ranking with a 23-13 victory.
Playing before a national television audience and a record crowd at Doak Campbell Stadium, the No. 5 Seminoles hoping to enter the national championship picture on Saturday with a victory declaration before.Oklahoma refused to make this happen, refused to give up her position at the top of the hierarchy, while the former Soviet Union are sure to fall a few notches.
Although not beat the Seminoles early as they did a year ago with a 47-17 victory in Norman, they took care of business in Tallahassee. It was not a thing of beauty. It was methodical and it was done by hand, but it was as effective as the Noles fell flat on the attack.
The defeat was also a physical cost of the Seminoles. Quarterback EJ Manuel left the game in the third quarter with a left shoulder beaten. He was replaced by redshirt freshman Clint Trickett. And the receiver Kenny Shaw was carted off the field and taken to a hospital for X-rays after being beaten in the first half.
Both Manuel and Shaw eventually returned to the sideline, but not the time to help prevent loss Seminoles.

Shaw was placed on the collar and taken to a local hospital for x-rays. Three plays later, Manuel was stopped, scenting the danger points.
The Seminoles scored their only points of the first half on a 53-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins.
Oklahoma has also squandered a chance to score after Javon Harris intercepted a pass and returned it 69 yards Manuel to FSU 3-yard line. But the Seminoles continued to Oklahoma, who was forced to settle for a field goal in the first half ended.
"We are in the foot as much as possible," Seaman coach Jimbo Fisher said that the Sooners took a 13-3 first half lead you in the locker room.

Three quarters, the Seminoles were inactive. But in a half in the third and 28 in the fourth quarter, Trickett some thread a pass between three defenders in Oklahoma, connecting with freshman Rashad Greene in a touchdown pass of 56 yards, which aroused the crowd and drew the marker.
But just as quickly dashed hopes of the nation Sooners Seminole Jones said Kenny Stills end zone, a 37-yard touchdown pass, limited to 83-yard drive. OU put it out of reach with a late field goal.
