Road Tested Weekend-(1) Oklahoma vs (5) Florida State

The way things are going on with the Big-12 Conference issues these days. Getting a pre-Red River rivalry should be a good thing for the Sooners. However, you can bet the Seminoles won't forget the 47-17 beat down they received in Norman last year.

Christian Ponder had a horrible game for the Seminoles last year, throwing two interceptions and sacked four times. E.J. Manuel came into the game late last year, to replace the hurt Christian Ponder. Manuel threw for a late touchdown. This season E.J. Manuel is the main man and he has thrown for 581 yards, in two blow-out games. However, Oklahoma is not the same defense, as the other defenses Manuel has faced thus far this season.

The Seminoles' coach Jimbo Fisher was asked how will Manuel prepare for this weekends game against Oklahoma. Fisher said, far as preperation nothing different than usual. Manuel's preperation is to play against Oklahoma as he prepares in practice against the Seminles defense.

"Out of all the Road Tested Games this weekend, this game should be a classic. It will be interesting to see how E.J. Manuel and the Seminoles respond from last years disappointing loss to the Sooners."
