On the Seminoles first possession of the game, Trickett was picked off by Joey Ehrmann and it was returned 50 yards down to the Florida State 30. "Im never worried about Joey mixing it up, but sometimes I do worry that he might mix it up too much," Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe said. "Hes full of life and loves to play, and it was great to see him make some big plays today. He was finally on fire today making those plays." From there, Wake Forest could only get to the nine-yard line, but Jimmy Newman was true on the chip shot from 27 yards out to give the Demon Deacons a 3-0 lead. Late in the first quarter, Florida State grabbed a 7-3 lead when Trickett led a 10-play, 80-yard drive down to the Wake Forest three before Wilder punched it in to the end zone for a touchdown. The Demon Deacons needed only two plays and a little trickery to take the lead early in the second quarter.

With just over three minutes to go before halftime, the Wake Forest defense came up with another big play when Trickett was intercepted by Zachary Allen. The Demon Deacons offense took over at the Florida State 38 and needed four plays to put the ball into the end zone courtesy of a 22-yard strike from Price to Givens for a 16-7 lead. On the Seminoles next drive, Manuel found Greene wide open down the middle of the field for a 46-yard touchdown strike to make it 16-14 with 54 seconds to go before the break. After halftime, Florida State began its first drive on the 20, but immediately went backwards on losses of 15, two and three yards, giving Wake Forest a safety and a four-point lead. Later, Wake Forest used a 42-yard run by Harris to spark a five-play, 78-yard drive before Price found Tommy Bohanon for a two-yard touchdown pass and a 25-14 cushion. Florida State drove 33 yards in eight plays on its ensuing possession before Dustin Hopkins connected on a 40-yard field goal to make it 25-17. The Demon Deacons extended their lead to 32-17 when Price took his team 71 yards on nine plays, finding Davis in the end zone for an eight-yard touchdown strike early in the fourth. But the Seminoles fought back on their ensuing drive, going 71 yards in seven plays with help from a 37-yard completion to Greene. Jones pushed into the end zone from three yards out to make it a 32-24 contest. Newman connected on a 32-yard field goal to make it 35-24. Florida State made it a five-point game with less than a minute to go when Manuel hooked up with Kenny Shaw on a two-yard touchdown pass. Manuels pass attempt for the two-point conversion fell incomplete. The Seminoles were unable to recover the ensuing onside kick and the Demon Deacons ran out the last 53 seconds to secure the win. "Very disappointing, very disappointing performance," Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher said. "The same issues. Five turnovers, you cant win a football game. Thirteen penalties, you can win a football game. We had opportunities. We had the momentum at halftime. Very disappointing."

John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. Nash scored twice in the first period, but the Islanders erased a two-goal deficit for the second straight day and beat the Rangers 5-3 on Tuesday night. "There was a time during the first period that I was going to probably break that line up," Capuano said, "but I wanted to see how they handled it. I thought they responded as the game went on and did a good job." Nash didnt do any more damage, Vanek scored the tiebreaking power-play goal with 4:38 left, Tavares had three assists, and Okposo added two as the Islanders won for the ninth time in 11 road games. The Islanders have won two of the first three meetings with the Rangers. The teams will play twice more in the next 10 days, including outdoors at Yankee Stadium. "Division games are huge this time of year. Its nice to beat these guys," Tavares said. "They got those two early goals, but I think for the most part we were the better team. We did a good job ... and finished off the game. Big win. Character win." Vanek capped the comeback as the Rangers were trying to kill a penalty for too many men. Colin McDonald and defenceman Thomas Hickey scored in the second period to get the Islanders even. Matt Martin scored a rare goal in the first, and Frans Nielsen added an empty-netter. Kevin Poulin made 30 saves in front of a nearly full crowd on a snowy night in New York. "The secondary guys came up big," Capuano said. "Our top line struggled a little bit in the first, but they came around. Your best players have got to be your best players. We were fortunate with that break with the too many men, but we were able to capitalize." Nash posted his second straight multigoal game, and Chris Kreider added a goal for the Rangers, who had won three in a row. Cam Talbot made 32 saves while subbing for Henrik Lundqvist, who missed the game due to illness. It was the first time in eight games the Rangers allowed more than two goals. "We wanted the two points, and we put ourselves in a ggood position to get them," Nash said. Barry Bonds. "We didnt get the job done." The Rangers pressed hard in the final minute after Talbot was pulled for an extra skater, but couldnt tie it. Unlike Monday in a 4-3 shootout win at home over Philadelphia, the Islanders didnt wait until the third period to tie it. "It was a good win," Capuano said, "but weve got a stretch coming up where weve got to make sure that were focused and were committed and doing the right things." After Kreider restored the Rangers two-goal lead at 9:34 of the second with a power-play goal, Hickey began the comeback with his fourth of the season off a perfect feed from Okposo with 6:38 left in the period. Just 3:14 later, McDonald got to a rebound off a hard shot by Tavares and fired a drive that beat Talbot for his fourth of the season to tie it. "Youre up 3-1 and you think maybe you can get through the period and play a good solid third, but we didnt," forward Brad Richards said. "We made some mistakes. Some nights other teams will capitalize, and some nights you get away with it. We didnt get away with it." For the second straight game, Nash struck quickly and gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead. Nash took a pass from behind the net from Kreider and wristed a shot past Poulin at 1:02 -- 8 seconds faster than Sunday when he put New York in front against Washington. The Islanders put lots of pressure on the Rangers in their end, but couldnt get a shot past Talbot. When Okposo failed to cleanly handle a pass near the right circle, Rangers defenceman Dan Girardi spotted Nash alone at centre ice and sent a pass to him. Nash received the puck with his back to the Islanders net, and quickly turned up ice and came in on a breakaway. Nash shifted the puck several times on his stick before sliding a shot in at 11:07 for his 16th of the season, fifth in three games, and ninth in nine games. The Islanders got one back with 2:38 left in the first when Martin took a pass in the slot from Tavares and scored his third of the season. NOTES: Martin went 38 games without a goal, dating to Nov. 1 at Ottawa. Hickey netted his first in 12 games, dating to Dec. 29 at Minnesota. ... Nash netted the winning goal in the previous four games in which he scored. ... The Rangers signed G David Leneveu to back up Talbot. ' ' '
