Woodson’s 4 TDs give Bowden a bad first

Coach loses first December bowl as depleted Florida St. falls to Kentucky

Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson celebrates after throwing one of his four touchdown passes.

The Seminoles disputed an offensive pass interference call on Carr that negated a touchdown. Gary Cismesia wound up missing a field goal — he didn’t make any in the game and finished the season with 27, tied with Sebastian Janikowski for the Atlantic Coast Conference record.

Florida State got the ball right back after Carr’s penalty, recovering a second fumble by Little. Kentucky ended that possession with a goal-line stand, but the Seminoles’ Tony Carter picked off Woodson’s next pass and returned it 24 yards to tie the game.

“He did a good job of nickel and diming us down the field, and that wears out the defense,” Carter said of Woodson.

Kentucky appeared to pull ahead at the end of the half on a field goal by Lones Seiber, but Florida State was called for personal foul on the play. Brooks decided to try for the TD rather than keep the points, and Seiber eventually missed from 39 yards.

Kentucky scored first, taking advantage of a blocked punt. Woodson soon connected with a wide-open Tamme from 14 yards out.

The next time Kentucky had the ball, Little fumbled just short of the goal line. Carter grabbed the loose ball and ran 51 yards, stopped only after colliding with teammate Andre Fluellen.

Weatherford, not known for dashing speed, scampered 27 yards on Florida State’s first play of the next drive and later ran it in from 6 yards out to make it 7-all.
