Wake trips FSU
E.J. Manuel came back from a shoulder injury for his first game action in three weeks for No. 23 Florida State. But Wake Forest handed the Seminoles their third straight loss yesterday, 35-30, behind Tanner Price's three touchdown passes and Josh Harris' 136 yards rushing.
Manuel was 19-for-35 for 286 yards with two touchdowns. But he threw two interceptions as part of the Seminoles' first five-turnover game since 2009.

Piling on
Texas A&M's team buses were vandalized in Lubbock before the Aggies played Texas Tech. Drivers found manure inside and outside the four vehicles. A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said manure went "from one end to the other" inside one bus, the others had manure along the exterior and the outsides of all the buses had vulgarities "spray painted" on them. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill ran for two touchdowns and threw for another to lead No. 24 Texas A&M (3-2) to a 45-40 victory.-- AP
