TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois continues to impress with this play despite taken plenty of hard hits.Francois has completed 63 percent of his passes and thrown nine touchdowns heading into the 14th-ranked Seminoles Atlantic Coast Conference matchup with Wake Forest on Saturday in Tallahassee. What makes coach Jimbo Fisher even happier is that Francois has only two interceptions and has not had a turnover in the past three games.Besides being able to be efficient with the ball, Fisher has been pleased with Francois toughness.Even though he had to be checked out twice by the training staff for a possible shoulder injury, Francois was able to rally FSU to a 20-19 win at No. 16 Miami. During the third quarter he was 10 of 11 for 144 yards and threw a pair of second-half touchdowns as the Seminoles (4-2, 1-2) came back from a 13-point deficit.Its not about if the guy doesnt have the ability to run it. Its do they have the little intangibles to be able to stand there and take that toughness, Fisher said. Thats exactly why hes playing. He has that innate ability for a young guy to process that and do it.Francois has also been able to show off more of his ability as a dual-threat quarterback as the season has progressed. He is averaging 42.7 rushing yards over the past three games and has two touchdowns.Running back Dalvin Cook said Francois is playing like a veteran and not a freshman.You can see hes going through his progressions more, smoother, Cook added. His confidence level was through the roof since from the beginning of the season, but hes a little more comfortable back there in the pocket.Fisher and the Seminoles are hoping they can continue to sustain momentum from the Miami win. Wake Forest is also coming in with confidence. It is 5-1 for the first time since winning the Atlantic Coast Conference title in 2006.The Demon Deacons, who are 2-1 in conference, played the Seminoles tough last season. They had a chance to tie late before a fourth-quarter interception helped preserve a 24-16 FSU win.Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson has also been impressed with what he has seen from Francois on tape.He just makes throws beyond his years. He anticipates windows. Some of the tight spaces he throws the ball into is incredible, Clawson said. He throws the ball well on the run and hes also a versatile athlete.---Here are some other things to watch as the Seminoles host the Demon Deacons:PICKING THEM OFF: Florida State cornerback Tarvarus McFadden leads the nation in interceptions with four. The Seminoles had eight interceptions all of last season but already have seven in the first six games. They have also forced a turnover in seven straight games dating back to last season.MOVING UP: Dalvin Cook needs 16 yards to become the third Florida State player to rush for 3,500 yards or more in his career. Cook leads Power 5 conference backs in rushing (785 yards) and is averaging 185.7 yards in his past three games.SACK MASTERS: Defensive ends Duke Ejofor (Wake Forest) and DeMarcus Walker (Florida State) are tied for second in the conference with 6.5 sacks. Walker also blocked an extra point last week to help the Seminoles preserve their win over the Hurricanes.GROUND GAME: Wakes rushing offense is ranked 23rd nationally, averaging 118.7 yards per game. Freshman running back Cade Carney has two straight 100-yard games and quarterback John Wolford is the teams second-leading rusher with 276 yards after having minus-84 his first two seasons.KEEP AN EYE ON: Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph. The junior caught 13 passes, including four touchdowns, in the first two games but has just six receptions in the past four. Fisher said that Rudolph has blocked well on downfield runs and continues to play well as they try to find more ways to get him more involved again in the passing game.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org---Follow Joe on Twitter: www.twitter.com/joereedy and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/journalist/joe-reedy Sebastian Rode Dortmund Jersey .C.

The Supreme Court has put off passing a final order concerning the BCCIs implementation of the Lodha Committee recommendations until its next working day, which is October 17 because the court breaks for Dussehra holidays for a week.The court had initially given the board one day to provide an undertaking that it would accept the recommendations unconditionally by October 7, but the delay was because the entire three-judge bench, comprising Chief Justice TS Thakur and Justices AM Khanvilkar and DY Chandrachud, which had heard the matter on Thursday, was not available after lunch on Friday.The matter had been listed for the end of board, which meant the order would be announced after all other cases for the day were heard, but Justice Chandrachud, who was presiding on a different bench on Friday, had left for the day before the other matters in the Chief Justices courtroom were concluded.As a result, the court passed an interim order in which it noted that the BCCI had been non-cooperative in its attitude based on the status report submitted by the Lodha Committee and also the arguments raised by amicus curiae Gopal Subramanium on Thursday.The sequence of events that have taken place since 18th July, 2016 and referred to in the status report prima facie give an impression that BCCI has far from lending its fullest cooperation to the Committee adopted an obstructionist and at times a defiant attitude which the Committee has taken note of and described as an impediment undermining not only the Committee but even the dignity of this Court with several statements and actions which according to the Committee are grossly out of order and may even constitute contempt, the order stated.The court said it would leave a final decision for a future date, but reminded the BCCI about its attitude. All that we need mention is that in the implementation of the recommendations of the Committee, the BCCI appears to be non-cooperative in its attitude.Chief Justice Thakur also said in court that BCCI president Anurag Thakur must file a personal affidavit to respond to whether he had approached the ICC asking for a letter that may have aided the board in not impplementing the Lodha Committees recommendations.ddddddddddddThe Chief Justice was referencing a story in India Today on September 12 that quoted ICC chief executive David Richardson as saying that Anurag Thakur had asked the ICC to address a letter to the BCCI, asking it to clarify whether the recommendations of the Lodha Committee did not amount to government interference in the board. As per ICC regulations, member boards cannot have government interference in their functioning. ICC chairman Shashank Manohar, Richardson said, had been reluctant to get involved in the matter unless formally requested to. Mr. Anurag Thakur, President of the BCCI shall file a personal affidavit whether he had asked the CEO of the ICC to state that the appointment of Justice Lodha Committee was tantamount to Government interference in the working of the BCCI, the court said in the order.A BCCI official ESPNcricinfo spoke to, however, said the board would continue to stick to its stance that it will not give the undertaking asked by the court to unconditionally implement the recommendations of the Lodha Committee. When asked whether the postponement of the hearing to October 17 would give the BCCI time to reach out to the state associations and form a response, the official said the absence of the top brass of the board would be a hurdle.The official said both BCCI president Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke would be in Cape Town to attend ICC board meetings between October 10 and 14. They would return by October 16.On Thursday, the court had given the BCCI one day to return with such an undertaking, but a board official had indicated later that evening that it was not in a position to do so in such a short time frame. The court had set the deadline while hearing the BCCIs response to the Lodha Committees status report, which had been filed in the Supreme Court on September 28 and recommended that the court supersede the boards office bearers with immediate effect because they were hindering the implementation of the recommendations.
