TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tailback Sean Jackson scored one touchdown and set up another with a 46-yard option pass, leading eighth-ranked Florida State to a 36-13 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over North Carolina.
Corey Sawyer, who leads the ACC in interceptions and punt returns, added a 74-yard touchdown on a punt return for the Seminoles, 5-1 overall and 5-0 in the ACC. North Carolina is 4-2, 1-2.
Florida State quarterback Charlie Ward, the ACC’s total offense leader, finished 10 for 22 for 87 yards, the first time he has been held under 200 yards passing.
