TALLAHASSEE, FL - Jeff Chaney came off the bench to rush for 89 yards and a touchdown and the Florida State defense limited Southern California to just 23 yards through the air as the Seminoles downed the Trojans 30-10 before 79,815 in Doak Campbell Stadium.
Chaney replaced starting tailback Travis Minor, who went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter. His 89 yards came on 19 carries and helped FSU use a ball control attack, which held the ball almost twice as long as USC.
The game was played despite the threat of Hurricane Georges, which sat idlely in the Gulf of Mexico. While the hurricane did not make landfall near Tallahassee, the Seminole defense was a force holding the Trojans to just 189 total yards and eight first downs. USC completed just one pass for five yards in the first three quarters and did not break out of single digits in passing yards until less than two minutes remained in the game.
Sebastian Janikowski got Florida State on the board first with a 37 yard field goal that capped a seven play, 65 yard drive in the first quarter. The Trojans countered with a 49 yard Adam Abrams field goal five minutes later and the score was tied 3-3 at the end of the first period.
FSU went into the half with a 13-3 advantage after scoring 10 points in the second quarter. A seven yard touchdown run by Chaney and a 36 yard Janikowksi field goal five seconds before the half gave the Tribe the margin.
The Seminoles stretched the lead to 20-3 on a Chris Weinke to Peter Warrick five yard scoring pass late in the third quarter. But USC closed to within 20-10 at the end of the period when Chad Morton scored from seven yards out.
Florida State put the game away in the fourth quarter with a 26 yard field goal by Janikowski and a 35? ard TD pass from Weinke to Ron Dugans.
Weinke finished with 226 yards passing while Warrick had six catches for 112 yards. The Seminole defense finished with four sacks and held touted Trojan receiver R. Jay Soward to one reception for five yards.
