Florida State 29, Maryland 26: Freshman Lonnie Pryor ran for two touchdowns, including a 3-yard run with 32 seconds left, and Florida State beat Maryland yesterday in Tallahassee, Fla., to become bowl eligible for the 28th straight year.
Pryor's winning score was set up by a 48-yard punt return by freshman Greg Reid that gave the Seminoles the ball at the Maryland 44 with 1:35 left. Pryor also scored on a 50-yard run in the second quarter to give Florida State a 14-3 lead.
