With a showdown with No. 3 Clemson looming in the near future, Florida State must keep its focus after escaping with a 20-19 victory over Miami that was secured on a late blocked extra point.The No. 14 Seminoles (4-2, 1-2 ACC) will be looking to get back to even in the ACC when they host Wake Forest (5-1, 2-1) at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla. (ESPN).Despite Wakes advantage when it comes to won-lost records, the Seminoles are heavy favorites to extend their win streak in the series to five games, but that doesnt come into play in the mid of Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher.Dont worry about the opponent. It aint about the opponent, its about us, Fisher said. I mean, its never about your opponent. Its always about you. Thats all you can control.Fisher has challenged his team not to let down after the emotional victory over the Hurricanes. The Seminoles have an open date after the game against Wake, then comes the home game against unbeaten Clemson.Who are you as a player? Fisher said was the message he delivered to his players. And what I mean by that, how do you want people to think of you? How do you want people to respond to you?You dont think they look at you really well? Well, then do the right things, and dont have relief syndrome.The Seminoles have had their ups and downs this season, but have been explosive on offense all year behind redshirt freshman quarterback Deondre Francois.Francois demonstrated his toughness once again in the win over Miami. After getting sidelined for a few series in the second quarter after taking a big hit late in the first, he came back and completed 10 of 11 passes in the third quarter in rallying the Seminoles from a 13-3 halftime deficit to a 17-13 lead going into the fourth quarter.He finished the game going 20 of 31 for 234 yards and two touchdowns.A key factor lately has been the play of running back Dalvin Cook.After rushing for a total of just 208 yards in his first three games, he has amassed 557 on the ground in his last three. The Miami native went off against his hometown team last week with 150 yards rushing and 59 more on a touchdown reception that brought the Seminoles to within three points.A junior who is projected to be one of the top running backs available in next years NFL Draft if he decides to leave early, Cook has now eclipsed 300 all-purpose yards in three straight games.He leads the nation in yards from scrimmage with 1,130 yards through six games.Wake Forest comes into the game in the unusual position of needing just one more win to get to the six-win level for bowl eligibility. The Demon Deacons havent made the postseason since 2011, when they finished 6-6 and lost to Mississippi State in their bowl game.The Deacons fought off the elements last week in beating Syracuse 28-9 in rainy, windy conditions brought on by Hurricane Matthew. The way they expanded a 14-9 lead to the final margin over the last four minutes showed something to Deacons coach Dave Clawson.Our guys have grown up and sometimes you have to be in that situation once before, then you have success in it, Clawson said. Last year, we played a lot of young guys and I really hope the benefit of doing that would come this year. In a lot of ways, it has.Deacons quarterback John Wolford continues to take some physical punishment, but he has weathered it well for the most part. He has rushed for two touchdowns twice in the past three games. His 94 rushing yards in the Syracuse game marked a career high for the junior.And theres the possibility that quarterback Kendall Hinton could be ready to return from a knee injury after missing the last 3 1/2 games. That would give the Demon Deacons more flexibility.Running back Cade Carneys return to the offense also has provided a spark. He missed three games with a knee injury, but the freshman has eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark in two of his three games.Discount Nike React Shoes .

The media, which he says has been too negative about the Cubs struggles before the All-Star break, when a double-digit lead in the National League Central dropped to seven games.The only people panicking about this is the media, Rizzo said Friday morning to a throng of reporters. No offense to you guys. Its been pretty negative. All the comments coming out of everyones mouth except in this clubhouse. We feel great. We feel great to be back together and were ready to go.The Cubs went 2-9 in their final 11 games and 7-14 in their final 21 before the break, with numbers in pitching, hitting and fielding all down. Most attributed the slide to a grueling schedule in which the Cubs played 23 of 33 games on the road and played on 24 consecutive days.Its July and you need stories to write about, and what better story to write about than why are the Cubs struggling? Rizzo said. The only people worried about it are outsiders.Cubs manager Joe Maddon had a softer stance. The noise coming from outside is necessary, he said. It can serve as motivation and its also just fans being fans. Its about how you channel all that.Maddon was quick to defend his team, citing the tough schedule. I probably have not been as tired as I was at this break, ever, he said. If I felt the need to rest, Im certain our guys felt the same way.Theo Epstein, the Cubs president of baseball operations, also addressed the tone of the conversation surrounding his team. It went from talk of breaking records at the beginning of the season to talk of a possible epic collapse heading into the break.When we were 25-6, the media was asking questions about, How do we balance getting our players rest with going for the all-time wins record? Epstein said. I attached zero meaning to thatt.dddddddddddd I called bulls--- on that question. The same way, if I think people are getting too down on us for not playing well, Ill call bulls--- on that, too. I just think all that matters is how we respond to adversity and how we handle success.Itll help the Cubs to get some injured bodies back in the lineup as two key position players, outfielders?Dexter Fowler and Jorge Soler, continue to rehab hamstring injuries.Fowler is getting tested by trainers this weekend before beginning a new rehab assignment. Maddon said he is hoping Fowler will be available by the end of next week.Soler is further away from returning but is also making progress. Hes doing well, Maddon said. Hes getting better but dont have a finish line there.The Cubs got catcher?David Ross back after a stint on the seven-day concussion list, but pitcher?Trevor Cahill was placed on the 15-day DL with tendinitis in his right knee.The Cubs still have a need for a lefty reliever. Clayton Richard, who was in the minors rehabbing from a blister, was called up from Triple-A Iowa. Richard was struggling with a 7.30 ERA in 22 relief outings before being sidelined June 21.Velocity was up, Maddon said of Richard. Strike throwing was better. Everything was good.The Cubs will know soon if fatigue was to blame for their pre-break slump -- especially on the mound, where Maddon says it showed the most. ?Either way, the team isnt concerned with the narrative outside the clubhouse.Its undeniable that we didnt play well for a long stretch of time, Epstein said. Once you go through that as a club, then you know its possible. You get to the edge of the abyss and you stare right in. You go, Hey, were not going to just rack up the wins. You have to go out and earn it. That can be a good thing for our team. ' ' '
