TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Chris Weinke threw five touchdown passes,
three to Peter Warrick, as top-ranked Florida State jumped to a 44-0
halftime lead on its way to a 51-23 victory Saturday over the Blue Devils
Florida State (5-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) scored on all eight of its first half possessions.
Duke (0-4, 0-1) scored the only points in the third period on a 15-yard touchdown run by Kevin Thompson and field goals by Sims Lenhardt of 46 and 47 yards. Lenhardt added a 48-yard field goal in the fourth period and Thompson threw a 16-yard scoring pass to Richmond Flowers. Flowers finished with 3 receptions for 52 yards, while Scottie Montgomery totaled 70 yards on 6 catches.
Warrick caught all three of his scoring passes in the first quarter and then threw for a 35-yard touchdown to Laveranues Coles in the second quarter.
The Seminoles, who needed only 7 minutes last week to take a 28-0 lead at North Carolina, took a 24-0 lead 10 seconds into the second quarter on Sebastian Janikowski's 46-yard field goal.
Janikowski added a 27-yard field goal and Weinke threw his fourth TD pass of the half -- 7 yards to fullback Dan Kendra -- to round out the first half scoring.
Brian Allen made a juggling interception of Bobby Campbell, who threw the ball hoping to avoid a sack, setting up the game's first score -- a 3-yard TD throw from Weinke to Warrick.
Weinke then added scoring throws covering 39 and 2 yards to Warrick as Florida State led 21-0 less than 12 minutes into the game.
Duke received $800,000 to move its home game to AllTell Stadium -- the NFL home of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
