TALLAHASSEE, Fla. cheap jerseys . -- Landry Jones pass seemed like it would never come down. Kenny Stills waited in the end zone for what must have felt like an eternity, then reached high for a touchdown that gave No. 1 Oklahoma the type of rugged road victory that teams need to win national championships. Stills, playing for the first time this season after being suspended for the opener because of an off-season DUI arrest, grabbed a 37-yard scoring pass midway through the fourth quarter for the tiebreaking score, and Oklahomas defence made the lead stand as the Sooners beat No. 5 Florida State 23-13 on Saturday night. "We won ugly, but thats OK," said Jones, who came in 3-5 as a starter the past two seasons in true road games. "Thats what No. 1 teams do, thats for sure." Javon Harris picked off two passes for the Sooners (2-0), who forced three turnovers and had six sacks against two Florida State quarterbacks. The Seminoles (2-1) played the final 20 minutes without starting quarterback E.J. Manuel, who left in the third with a left shoulder injury. Backup Clint Trickett kept the Seminoles in it. He hooked up with freshman Rashad Greene for a 56-yard touchdown on a third-and-28 with 9:32 left in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 13. But on the next possession, Jones went high and deep down the sideline to the 6-foot-1 Stills, who easily outleaped the 5-8 Greg Reid for the touchdown. Trickett couldnt respond. On the next drive, he had a pass tipped at the line by Ronnell Lewis, and Harris came up with his second interception near midfield. Just like the first pick, Oklahoma turned it into a field goal, this one from 31 yards out by Jimmy Stevens. "All of a sudden the crowds on you, they tie it up at home," said OU coach Bob Stoops, who shared a hug with his brother, Mark, the Florida State defensive co-ordinator, after the game. "We come back ... with the big drive, defence gets the turnover, we eat up the clock and get a field goal. Im really proud of em. Our kids really answered the bell when they had to." And maybe we can start calling Stoops "Big Game Bob" again, too. Jones finished 18-for-27 for 199 yards with two interceptions, though he did become the schools career passing leader, moving past Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford. "All great games come down to two or three plays," second-year Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. "They made plays; we didnt." A rematch of a lopsided 47-17 Oklahoma victory in Norman last season, this was more reminiscent of the most important game these two heavyweight programs have played. The Sooners won their last national championship in 2000 by beating the Seminoles 13-2 in the Orange Bowl. The Sooners, from the Big 12 -- at least for now -- scored a touchdown on their first possession and one of the most potent offences in the country didnt find the end zone again until the fourth quarter. Florida State looked as if it would never get there. Then Greenes touchdown sent most of the record crowd of 84,392 at Doak Campbell Stadium into hysterics. Like Stills, he went high in traffic to come down with Tricketts pass then broke free from the pack and raced for the score. "It was just loud, I couldnt hear anything, especially down there when we were in their student section," Jones said. "I called some plays six or seven times, and I still dont think the guys heard me." Florida State showed its worthy of again being considered a national title contender, a title the Seminoles held for 14 years under Hall of Fame coach Bobby Bowden, but relinquished in the 2000s. Fishers Seminoles arent quite all the way back, but they are getting there. "I hope it changed peoples perspective of us," Trickett said. Trickett, who was sacked five times, was 7-for-15 for 134 yards for Florida State, which had no running game beyond Manuels 49 yards. Fisher said Manuels status for next weeks pivotal Atlantic Coast Conference game at Clemson was uncertain, though the junior did watch most of the fourth quarter from the sideline. Oklahoma seemed to pick up right where it left off last year in Norman on the first drive of the game, zipping down field with little resistance for an 80-yard drive that ended with Jones 1-yard touchdown sneak. Dustin Hopkins booted a 53-yard field goal to make it 7-3 with 2:42 left in the first. Turnovers, penalties and defence dominated the rest of the way. Manuel made some nifty plays on the run, jumping over one of his lineman on the way to a 12-yard gain in the second quarter. But the junior also was intercepted twice in Oklahoma territory. The second came late in the half when Harris grabbed a high throw and returned it 69 yards to the Florida State three. But for the second time in the half, the Sooners got inside the five and settled for a field goal. Stevens kicked a 29-yarder to make it 13-3 as time expired in the half. "We slowed down their no huddle offence," Florida State defensive end Bjoern Werner said. Oklahoma managed 310 yards, its fewest since Nov. 21, 2009, in a road loss to Texas Tech. But the Sooners held the Seminoles to 246. "We knew coming in we were going to have to be physical," Harris said. Florida States best shot to get in the end zone in the first half came when Manuel found Kenny Shaw deep down the middle inside the 5, but the receiver was sandwiched by Tom Wort and Harris, taking a double-helmet shot, and the ball came out. The Sooners were flagged 15 yards for the hit and Shaw lay motionless on the turf for several minutes. He was carted off, conscious and moving his arms, and taken to the hospital for X-rays. He later returned to the sideline in the fourth quarter. The Sooners defence got a boost with the return of star linebacker Travis Lewis, who came back earlier than expected from a broken left toe to start against Florida State. With 5:42 left in the third quarter, Manuel was swarmed under by Oklahoma on a third-and-two play that never had a chance and the quarterback came off the field wincing, holding his left arm close to his body. He went to the locker-room to have his shoulder examined, and Trickett took over the offence after Lamarcus Joyner intercepted a deep ball by Jones. Trickett, a redshirt freshman and the son of Florida State offensive line coach Rick Trickett, led the Seminoles to Hopkins 46-yard field goal to make it 13-6 with 53 seconds left in the third.cheap china jerseys .

Speaking to reporters at baseball owners meetings Wednesday, Steinbrenner said he isnt thinking about 2015. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig suspended Rodriguez for 211 games in August, and arbitrator Fredric Horowitz cut the penalty last weekend to the 2014 season and post-season. The arbitrator found "clear and convincing evidence" the three-time AL MVP used three banned substances and twice tried to obstruct Major League Baseballs investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. Rodriguez responded by suing MLB and the players association in an effort to overturn the decision. Asked if he would welcome Rodriguez back, Steinbrenner said, "Hes a great player." "I have not though about 2015, nor am I going to right now," Steinbrenner said. "My focus has to be right now. But when hes on and when hes healthy, hes obviously an asset. Well see what haappens. cheap jerseys china. " Rodriguezs relationship with the Yankees became strained last summer, when he wanted to come off the disabled list following hip surgery before the team said he was ready. Rodriguez returned Aug. 5, the day Selig announced his suspension. In October, Rodriguez sued the Yankees team physician and a New York hospital, accusing them of mishandling his medical care during the 2012 AL playoffs. Rodriguezs salary this year was cut from $25 million to $2,868,852 because of the suspension; Horowitz decided baseball drug agreement requires he lose 162 days of pay over the 183-day season. New York was required to make a $3 million payment to Rodriguez on Wednesday, the last installment of the $10 million signing bonus that is part of the contract Rodriguez agreed to before the 2008 season. The Yankees owe A-Rod $21 million in 2015 and $20 million in each of the deals final two seasons. "Those of you that know me, Im pretty objective in my thinking," Steinbrenner said. "This is business. Im just focusing on the team, a player. Is the player an asset to the club or not? Thats about as far as I look. I dont get personal." wholesale jerseys ' ' '
