14 Saturday, October 21, 2000 FSU's Weinke Piles Up Passing Yards By Mike Ogle Assistant Stouts Editor Maturity apparently isn’t all that comes with age. In Chris Weinke’s case, so do stellar statistics. The 28-year-old Florida State quar terback has left the box score over flowing the past two weekends. Weinke completed 66-of-105 pass- Kenan Stadium □ North Side gate 1 First Aid I NORTH STADIUM BOX | CHANCELLOR'S BOX j 1 208 M7 | io! m 104 mj a mmm \ m l m U // mfn TTTTTTI J r | J | GATE 8 ,25 I tVV^ GATE 7 GATE 6 n Southside I —Will Call UNC STUDENTS! .

ACC Roundup He did it all on a bum left foot, which he injured Sept. 28 at Maryland. He was diagnosed with a ACC Gameday §Bk mid-foot sprain and was limited in practice while preparing for the Hurricanes. “I have not seen too many back-to-back per formances like he’s had,” Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden said. Carl Franks “I never heard him complain one time about his foot. Watch, you see there is really the professional side of things in that, in the pros, you’ve got to go out there even if you play hurt. “He made some unbelievable throws.” In two weekends, Weinke threw for more yards than Wake Forest (930) and Duke (907) have all season. He also completed more touchdown passes than Virginia (7), Maryland (4), Wake (2) and Duke (1) have this year. Up next for the Seminole: the Cavalier secondary. Blue Blue Devils The despair of fall continues in Durham. Duke (0-6, 0-3 in the ACC) hasn’t had a winning season since 1994’s 8- 4 team. Last weekend’s 63-14 drub bing at Florida State guaranteed that the Blue Devils’ streak will not end in 2000. Duke ranks last in the ACC in Russell FROM PAGE 6 mer two-sport star Tyrell Godwin. During Russell’s official recruiting visit, Godwin told Russell just how difficult balancing football, baseball and academics would be. “Football and baseball are both sports that I love, and I’m committed to make the sacrifice to play both sports,” Russell said. “It’s going to be tough on me academically and take up a lot of my time, but I’m ready to do that” He was bypassed in last spring’s amateur baseball draft, but now he sees that a blessing. “I just said ‘lf it happens, it hap- JIIIIIIII I Ulmim 11111 111 1111111111II11II!

Quarterbacks for Duke and Wake Forest have yet to reach those totals this year. eight out of 10 team categories (total offense, total defense, rushing offense, pass offense, pass offense efficiency, pass defense efficiency, scoring offense and scoring defense). It stands seventh in rushing defense and eighth in pass defense. The Devils are losing each game by an average score of 40.5-9.7. With troubles like those, Duke probably can’t help looking forward to its Nov. 4 meeting in Winston- pens,’” Russell said. “I’m almost glad, now that I’m here, that I didn’t get drafted. It would have given me something else to worry about” But this fall, Russell is worried only about his yards per carry, not his bat ting average. After a slow start to the season, he’s gained 317 yards in six games, with an average of 3.4 per run. He’s also caught six passes out of the backfield for 48 yards. That’s significantly more than the coaching staff counted on him to earn. Russell’s gone from third in line to the coaching staff s poster boy for inten sity and overall effort “If we had all (players like) him,” Torbush said. “I’d be able to go home real early at night, all the time.” DTH Sport Saturday Salem with the Demon Deacons (0-6, 0-4), the ACC’s only other winless squad. But somehow coach Carl Franks remains optimistic. “Our goals are pretty much the same as we started out,” Franks said. “We are trying to be a better team at the end of the year than we were at the beginning.” Sometimes even the smallest tasks can seem Herculean.
