TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State?coach Jimbo Fisher called a fourth-quarter penalty for blocking below the waist that negated a long run by the Seminoles gutless and said he welcomed a fine for criticizing ACC officials after a 37-34 loss?to Clemson?on Saturday night.No. 12 Florida State led 28-26 with about 11 minutes remaining in the game when the penalty occurred.?Dalvin Cook, who scored on a long touchdown run during the Seminoles prior possession,?sprang free for a 41-yard run. Fullback Freddie Stevenson?cleared space for Cook on the play, but an official called Stevenson for an illegal block below the waist. The Florida State sideline was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct while arguing the call, and the Seminoles punted four plays later.The run could have helped the Seminoles extend their lead to two scores. Instead, Clemson kicked a go-ahead field goal on its ensuing possession.It was ridiculous, Fisher said. It was not a chop, it was a not chop. I will tell you what: You hold coaches accountable, you hold players accountable, hold the damn officials accountable. It is garbage, and then to call another penalty on the sideline is even more garbage. Its cowardly, gutless and wrong.They can take it, fine it, do whatever they want to do with that. Thats a fact. Look at the film. Its ridiculous that they do that. That was a huge call in the game. Now, still had chances to win the game after that [but] that was ridiculous and the guy wasnt even in position to make the call.When in the open field, players are allowed to only block below the waist if the initial contact comes from the front.Fisher said the officials could not give him an explanation for the penalty.Florida State retook the lead with 3:23 left, but Clemsons Deshaun Watson responded with a 34-yard, game-winning touchdown to Jordan Leggett less than 90 seconds later. Cook said the illegal block call stole the Seminoles momentum, but he stopped short of saying it cost the team a win.Its something weve been doing all year. It wasnt a flag. It was a legal block, said Cook, who finished with 169 yards and four touchdowns. Freddie came out of the backfield. Its a penalty you cant take back. Its a call you cant make in a game like that. It was a bad call.A fourth-quarter targeting call against safety Trey Marshall also drew the ire of Fisher. Clemson scored on all three possessions after Marshall was ejected. He led the team with 11 tackles.Fisher said he also thought Clemson should have been called for targeting on a hit that knocked quarterback Deondre Francois from the game for one play.It was targeting on [Francois]. When he got in the belly and knocked out, the crown of the helmet hit him right in the chest, Fisher said. He gets killed at Miami and we dont call it and gets killed here. Both of them were real bad. Phillies Jerseys From China . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder.

Keenan joined the National Lacrosse League team before the 2010 season. He has led the Rush to three playoff appearances in four years, including an appearance in the 2012 NLL final. The Rush had not advanced to the playoffs before Keenans arrival, missing out in all four seasons since the team was founded in 2005. "We have full confidence in the direction Derek Keenan is taking this team, this past season was another strong campaign that provided a good look into the exciting potential of the club," Rush owner Bruce Urban said in a statement. "Keenan is the finest coach in pro lacrossee at pre game preparation for his players.dddddddddddd If this team executes the game plan night in and night out, get ready for some winning seasons." The Rush finished 9-7 this season and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. There were positives, however, as the team scored a franchise-record 203 goals. "There may have been other opportunities out there for me but there is really no other place I want to be," Keenan said. "I did not even bother to test other waters. We have a very committed owner in Bruce Urban and a hard working front office staff. "Most importantly I think we have a really talented young team, a group of athletes whom I really believe in."
