6C NewsSun-Sentinel. Sunday. November 15. 1987 ULTIMATE TANNING FSU 41, PUREKIAN 10 A -hk i if Ji NOTEBOOK Fiesta won't cross date line this time By CRAIG BARNES Slalt Wrrtor TALLAHASSEE Bill Shover of the Fiesta Bowl said Saturday night it's unlikely his bowl will request a date change to Jan. 2 as it did when Miami played Penn State for the national championship.

If some combination developed to make Florida State No. 1, we might consider it," Shover said, "but I couldn't see it under any other circumstances." The request has to be made 30 days in advance of the game. Shover said the Fiesta Bowl is excited at the prospect of having the Seminoles play the Big Eight runner-up. "Florida State lost to Arizona State 45-38 in our first game in 1971," Shover said, "and since then, they've beaten Arizona State 28-26 in 1983 and 52-44 in 1984. The people in the Phoenix area are fond of Florida State, and we Jtnow what a great matchup it will be." Shover said the game is sold out.

He said each school would receive 10,300 tickets. We expect the Big Eight to sell out, and we think Florida State will sell between 5,000 and 7,000," he said. "If tickets are returned, we have a waiting list." Check local listings for UF-FSU Florida-Florida State is a virtual certainty for television on Nov. 28. If CBS chooses the game, it will be the front end of a doublehead-er with Miami-Notre Dame the 3:30 game.

If Nebraska defeats Oklahoma, it's possible the game could get bumped from CBS for Nebraska at Colorado. If so, it could be picked up by WTBS for a 12:30 kickoff or by ESPN for a 4 p.m. kickoff. Seminoles' imprint on Jan. 1 bowls With Auburn's victory over Georgia and Michigan State beating Indiana, it means three of FSU's opponents are alive for New Year's Day bowl appearances.

Miami will be in the Orange Bowl, Michigan State in the Rose Bowl and Auburn, with a victory over Alabama, will represent the Southeastern Conference in the Sugar Bowl. Fans can have their say for a day Florida State is conducting a survey to see if its fans prefer day games to night games. Attendance comparison indicates the day games do better. If the survey is conclusive, a proposal recommending day games to the athletic board on Dec. 2 is expected to receive favorable response.

FSU's athletic administration, including coach Bobby Bowden, have endorsed day games, but Bowden has made it dear he will follow the consensus of the Seminoles' fans. Rewarding season for Seminoles Florida State's bowl invitation, three television appearances and ts cut of the CFA fund will give the Seminoles a $3.2 million football season FSU is hoping to build a minimum $1 million athletic and reserve with the solid season. The last time the Seminoles ent to a New Year's Day bowl in 1980, the defense led the way, allowing just 7.7 points per game. Entering Saturday night's game, Florida State has allowed only 12.3 points per game. 17 Florida State seniors, led by quarterback Danny McManus, tight end Pat Carter and linebacker Paul McGowan, played their final home game.

Former FSU quarterback Rick Stockstill, who led the Seminoles to the Orange Bowl in 1980, was among those watching the Furman game. Stockstill, now offensive coordinator at Central Florida, suffered through a 19-14 loss to Florida on Saturday afternoon, virtually eliminating the Knights from the Division I-AA playoffs.

"When he broke into the clear," said center Mark Salva, "I just headed for the bench.

I was sitting down by the time he crossed the goal line." Florida State coach Bobby Bowden called Smith's run "a momentum-breaker," but he confessed he hadn't thought about how close his team was to real trouble. "At 20-14, if they had scored, a game would have become a war for us," he said. "I remember thinking if they score, it won't even be a touchdown lead. I was worried. "Then, we stopped them, and Sammie kind of relieved my worries.

He's the kind of back that has one of those in him a game, and, thank goodness, he gave it to us just at the right time tonight." In addition to Smith's two touchdowns, the Seminoles scored on runs of 4 yards by Dayne Williams, 12 yards by Marion Butts and a 26-yard pass from Chip Ferguson to Terry Anthony. Derek Schmidt kicked field goals of 36 and 41 yards in addition to five extra points. Furman rushed for 212 yards and got a 1-yard touchdown from Dwight Sterling, who had 126 yards in 18 carries. Mike Wood kicked a 46-yard field goal and one extra point. A week ago, Auburn had 40 rushing yards in 23 carries against the Seminoles.

"We felt we had to run the football," said Furman coach Jimmy Satterfield. "Sterling played great. He broke tackles and made great runs. "Florida State got all it could handle, and considering all the advantages it had, including the crowd, we hung it tough." Sterling's touchdown run on Furman's first possession gave the Pal thrive on Hayes said, "they are restricted in what plays they can run. Also on defense, you're more aggressive because a mistake on the other team's 20-yard line doesn't usually cost you as much as one near mid-field.

"Our special teams have been great all season providing opportunities for the offense and also giving the other team poor field position. Considering the way we've played on defense most of the season, I believe the coverage teams and the defense have worked together well." John Wyche and Corian Freeman are two backup defensive backs who have contributed significantly in their roles on the coverage teams. "They are exactly the type of people you are looking for," Amato said. "Under normal circumstances, their playing time on defense will be restricted, but they are aggressive kids who want a chance to help us win. "It's hard to explain the disadvantage the defense has when the other team can return a kick outside their 40-yard line.

"Freeman and Wyche are reckless players who have sacrificed their bodies to help us win." Furman thought so much of Freeman that the Paladins as Furman adins a 7-0 lead, and they didn't surrender it until Smith ran 20 yards with 57 seconds left in the first quarter for a 10-7 lead. "We came in with our base defense," said Florida State linebacker Paul McGowan, who was credited with 22 tackles, "but they gave us a lot of trouble early. "Our intensity level wasn't good, but I think they woke us up with the first drive." Schmidt's 41-yard field goal made it 13-7, and FSU's Bart Schucts recovered a whiffed quick-kick attempt by John Bagwell at the Furman 35. Seven plays later, Williams scored from the 4. "We played sloppy," McManus said, "but I thought at halftime we had the game in control." Furman started the third quarter the same way it started the game.

The Paladins moved effectively to the Florida State 1, but with 9:28 left in the third quarter the game changed when the Seminoles threw Goldsmith for a 4-yard loss and Smith ran for his touchdown on the next play. "We were flat," said strong safety Stan Shiver, who had an interception and a batted down pass. "At the half, we needed to come and shut them down, but they kept banging. They were intimidated." "Sammie is that type of player," said McManus. "He's a game-breaker and that's what he did tonight." "I couldn't have expected much more from our kids that they gave," Bowden said.

"I just think Furman played a little better than we did. "Fortunately for us, we got the big plays when we needed them. I don't even want to think about what would have happened if they had scored for 20-14. "There was no question the game turned at that point, but I didn't realized under it was over." coverage signed two men to him. "This was a very tough mental game for us," Freeman said.

"We just couldn't get excited about playing. "It was a combination of playing Auburn last week and not really knowing what kind of team Furman was. "I was impressed with Furman. They would really hit you, but as the game wore on, I think we finally got our act together." Wyche believes one of the big reasons for FSU's special success is preparation. "On our coverage teams, everybody knows their assignments, and we work on it hard," he said.

"I suspect a lot of teams don't give it half as much time as we do. "When you're playing a running team like Furman, it's a big advantage for your defense if the offense has to start with poor field position." Amato said the bigger the game, the more Important the play of coverage teams. "I think our coverage teams go basically unnoticed," he said. "They were tremedously important against Auburn, and although Furman got a couple out on us, it was very good again tonight." By CRAIG BARNES Staff Writer TALLAHASSEE With two plays early in the fourth quarter, fourth-ranked Florida State awoke from its siesta and went on to defeat Division I-AA Furman 41-10 Saturday night and look like a team bound for the Fiesta Bowl. "We'd been talking about big plays all night in the huddle," said quarterback Danny McManus.

"And the defense and Sammie Smith finally got a couple together." With the score 20-7 and Furman facing a fourth and 1 at the Florida State 1, Paladin quarterback Keith Moore, under pressure from outside linebacker Terry Warren, tried to option to fullback Kennet Goldsmith. When Goldsmith caught the pitch, safety Greg Newell caught him at the 5. "It was good thing we made the big play," said Warren, "because we hadn't done much all night. They came to play, and we didn't. And, we were about to give them reason to believe they could win the game." On the first play after the Seminoles stopped the 6-4 Paladins, running back Smith broke loose on a 95-yard touchdown run, second longest in FSU history to Larry Key's 97-yard effort against Virginia Tech in 1976, and the 50,087 fans at Doak Campbell Stadium could relax for the first time as Florida State led 27-7 and was comfortably headed toward improving its record to 9-1.

Smith, who scored on a 20-yard run in the first half, had 176 yards in 15 carries, giving him 1,114 for the season, third best in school history behind Greg Allen's 1,134 yards in 1983. "We needed the big play," Smith said, "and I'm glad I was able to pop one at such a critical time, but you have to give my offensive line credit. They made it happen." Seminoles By CRAIG BARNES Staff Writer TALLAHASSEE They only receive recognition when a coach praises them or when they create a turnover. In Florida State's last two victories, the kickoff coverage team has been as much a part of the games as any other portion of the team. Against Auburn, the Tigers never started better than their 25-yard line, and in Saturday night's 41-10 victory over Furman, the Paladins got two starts beyond the 25.

"Those people really are special," said coach Bobby Bowden, "and our coverage has been good all season." It was especially important against a team like Furman because of the Paladins' strong option attack. "The deeper they have to start," said defensive line coach Chuck Amato who handles the coverage teams, "the farther they have to go. When a team runs the ball, it provides you with more opportunities defensively to make a play." Defensive tackle Eric Hayes, who had 11 tackles and a sack, understands how important the coverage teams are.
