Wake Forest. In the locker room, Trickett tried to rally his Garnet teammates, telling the defense: "We only played adequately good and we're still ahead. Let's win this. We were underdogs last year and won. We're underdogs this year. Let's win. Offensive line coach Rick Trickett -- the quarterback's father -- substituted for FSU's head coach: "Let's go kick some [rears]!

Garnet took a lead early in the third quarter, with Trickett throwing a yard touchdown pass to Rashad Gholston , who made a fabulous catch in the end zone. Confidence was soaring on the Garnet sideline. Then it was Schlabach's turn to call defense, with Maisel calling offensive signals for Gold. Maisel's take: As the Gold team waited in the visiting tunnel to return to the field after halftime, I asked senior fullback Lonnie Pryor for a play to run.

It's a pass in the flat. Call it and I'll break a long one. The first two possessions of the second half produced few yards and no points. Craig dressed down the offense, and when Gold got the ball back at its 46, Fisher started barking at his two assistants about their play calling.

Craig pointed at me. I wanted to start with a pass in the flat to gin up the offensive flow. I wanted to throw to tight end Nick O'Leary either on a slant over the middle or have him run a seam route straight up the hash marks.

With the defense on its heels, I wanted to bust 6-foot-2, pound sophomore James Wilder Jr. When we got inside the 30, I wanted a jump ball thrown to Benjamin, a , pound bundle of potential. And somewhere, of course, call Regular F-Under. I would tell Craig what I wanted. He would translate it into play-call-ese. Quality control assistant Kurt Kennedy would signal it, and the rest would be Schlabach's downfall.

My slant call to O'Leary turned into a yard gain, the third-longest of Manuel's 28 completions. But that's a great example. I thought O'Leary would slant over the middle. He caught this one at the sideline, a leaping, two-handed catch at the Garnet Wilder's run into the middle and a pass into the flat to Kenny Shaw moved us to the Garnet Time for a jump ball.

Manuel instead went to Shaw in the end zone. Pass interference and a first down at the Garnet 2. Here it came -- Pryor's special weapon. I locked my eyes on Pryor. He took two steps forward and -- picked up the pass rush. Manuel moved right and threw to Shaw for a touchdown. But the play worked! Seven plays, 54 yards. But Gold missed the extra point, so Garnet remained ahead, Schlabach's take: Garnet sported a two-touchdown lead, so I figured I could get a little aggressive.

After going three and out on offense, my pride was at stake. Stoops gathered his No. The Gold team drove down the field with ease. I tried to mix in a few blitzes with base coverages like "Special" and "Robber. When a yard pass to Shaw moved the ball inside the 20, I asked Stoops for help with a voice of desperation. I brought pressure again, and sophomore cornerback Kendall Fullington was penalized for pass interference.

Gold got the ball at the 2-yard line and scored on the next play. I'll let you call another defensive possession. The Garnet team scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter -- Smiley on a 7-yard run and Gholston on a yard touchdown pass -- to put Gold away for good and win by a final score of With less than two minutes left, players doused Coley and Rick Trickett with a Gatorade bath. A few seconds later, I was doused with a jug of ice water. After the game, with Maisel sporting an career record, he tracked down his quarterback in the locker room.

Maisel wanted to make sure Gold ran his play on Manuel's touchdown pass to Shaw. If he had called that -- he didn't signal it. All right, fine.
