TAMPA, Fla. -- Those questions about whether Dalvin Cook can recover from a slow start? He just answered them.The shifty Florida State running back rushed for a career-high 267 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, helping the 13th-ranked Seminoles rebound from the most lopsided loss in school history with a 55-35 rout of previously unbeaten USF.Cook has had a quiet season after rushing for a FSU-record 1,691 yards as a sophomore, raising questions about why he had not been as productive in his teams first three games.People get caught up in having the stats, but we have to go out there and play the same football every week. We have to run the ball and we have to pass the ball, we just did a better job this week, Cook said. When (the team) calls my number I just try to get the job done.Cook scored on a 75-yard run on the Seminoles first play from scrimmage, an immediate response to USF starting the game with Quinton Flowers and Rodney Adams teaming on an 84-yard catch-and-run for a quick 7-0 lead. The 213-pound juniors rushing total on 28 carries topped his previous best of 266 yards against South Florida last year.It was very important to answer back. USF came out with a very aggressive game plan and we had to respond with points, Cook said. The offensive line did a good job of giving me space, and I was one-on-one with the safety and I had to beat him.Florida State (3-1) bounced back from being trounced 63-20 by Louisville, a road shellacking that dropped the Seminoles 11 spots in the AP Top 25 from No. 2.Dalvin had a nice day, coach Jimbo Fisher said, though he wasnt happy that his team yielded five touchdowns and 450 yards on defense. We have to learn to finish games and play the full 60 minutes.South Florida (3-1) is off to its fastest start since 2011, however the Bulls were no match for a talented bunch that began the season with expectations of contending for its second national title in four years.I looked at this game as an opportunity for our football team to get a little more respect nationally, South Florida coach Willie Taggart said.We didnt take advantage of that.Marlon Macks 1-yard TD run gave USF a brief lead before Cook, Freddie Stevenson and Bobo Wilson scored on Florida States next three possessions to put the Seminoles up 28-14.Deondre Francois threw for 169 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. The red-shirt freshman added a 35-yard TD run midway through the fourth quarter.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida State: Losing to Louisville by 43 may have severely damaged the Seminoles chances of winding up in this years College Football Playoff, however getting Cook back on track will give them a chance to have an impact on the race.South Florida: Beating the Seminoles would have been nice, however a better test of where coach Willie Taggarts rebuilding job stands is whether they can shrug off the disappointment and contend for a spot in the AAC championship game.POLL IMPLICATIONSFlorida State tumbled from No. 2 after losing to Louisville, but played like a team thats one of the best in the country. South Florida was hoping to state its case for wider recognition and a spot in the Top 25. The Bulls have improved, but learned theyve got a ways to go to narrow the gap between them and the nations elite programs.COOKINCook only rushed for 228 yards and two TDs the previous three weeks. He had one carry over 20 yards in the first three games. With the junior rolling again, FSU amassed 391 yards total offense in the opening half and finished with 647. Backup Jacques Patrick rushed for 124 yards on 20 carries, and Francois finished with 92 on 10 attempts as the Seminoles finished with 478 on the ground.RUNNING WILDFlowers had little success throwing the ball for South Florida after connecting with Adams on their long TD play to begin the game, however the dual-threat quarterback had a big day running with 159 yards rushing on 18 attempts. Most of the damage came after the Bulls fell behind 45-14. The junior only completed two passes in the first half and finished 5 of 14 for 160 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.GROUNDEDMack led the American Athletic Conference in rushing each of the past two seasons and entered Saturday averaging 9.6 yards per carry. The Seminoles limited him to 42 yards on 12 carries, leaving Mack 95 yards shy of USFs career rushing record.UP NEXTFlorida State: Seminoles return to Tallahassee for their ACC home opener against North Carolina.South Florida: The Bulls begin their AAC schedule next Saturday at Cincinnati. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Brice-Butler-Jersey/ .

Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants released placekicker Josh Brown on Tuesday, six days after police documents revealed Brown admitted to repeatedly abusing his former wife while they were married.The move came shortly after the player issued a statement insisting that he never hit his wife during a six year period when he admits spousal abuse.Giants President John Mara says the teams beliefs, judgments and decisions were misguided in how it handled its relationship with Brown. He indicated the Giants did not know the full extent of Browns problem until last week.We hope that Josh will continue to dedicate himself to rehabilitation, and to becoming a better person and father, Mara said in a statement. We will continue to support him in his efforts to continue counseling, and we hope that Josh and his family can find peace and a positive resolution.It is not immediately clear whether Brown will receive the rest of his $1.26 million salary.Brown was previously suspended for the opening game of the season for violating the leagues personal conduct policy after the NFL investigated his arrest in May 2015 for spousal abuse against his now ex-wife, Molly. Brown was accused of grabbing his wifes wrist as she tried to reach for a phone, causing a contusion and bruising. He was not charged by local authorities in the case in Washington state.But documents released by the King County Sheriffs Office, including journals and emails, detailed a history of abuse far greater than Brown acknowledged when he spoke about being disciplined before the season started.I have taken measures to get help so that I may be the voice of change, not a statistic, Brown said Tuesday. It is important to share that I never struck my wife, and never would. Abuse takes many forms, and is not a gray area. Through the past several years I have worked to identify and rectify my own behaviors.Two days after the admissions became public, Brown was placed on the commissioners exempt list on Friday while the league considered further discipline. The league said it tried but failed to get more details from authorities after Browns arrest.dddddddddddd Molly Brown declined to speak to league investigators, saying she did not trust that the NFL had her best interests at heart, according to a police report.The Giants discussed Browns future after returning from London and a 17-10 win over the Rams on Sunday. They announced their decision on Tuesday. Brown was left home for the game.The documents showed Browns wife told investigators that the abuse and other threatening behavior stretched from 2009, when she was pregnant with their daughter, to the Pro Bowl in January 2016. She alleged that during that time he shoved her into a mirror, breaking it, and that he shoved a chair into her leg, bruising it, according to the report.Brown said he has spent the past several years working to identify and change his behaviors.The road to rehabilitation is a journey and a constant modification of a way of life, Brown said in the statement. My journey will continue forever as a person determined to leave a positive legacy and I embrace the opportunities to show and speak about what has helped me to be that man.At the Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Browns wife said she called NFL security to move her and her three children to another hotel to avoid harassment from her estranged husband. She said he had pounded on their hotel door seeking to get in.Browns former wife did not respond to messages last week seeking comment from The Associated Press. A law firm representing the kicker declined to comment.The NFLs official policy is to suspend players guilty of domestic abuse for six games on their first offense.Brown apologized to the Giants Tuesday for having his past bring the integrity of the team into question.Brown was not in the locker room Tuesday, the last day the team met before starting a bye-week break.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
