e ruck in a game-changing performance and Flana

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State has a short week to prepare for Boston College for the second straight season, and Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher isnt all that pleased about it.I feel like right now Im a day behind and trying to get everything in, Fisher said. Also making sure you get enough rest and still get enough practice time.Last year, playing the Eagles on short week resulted in a hard-fought, ugly Florida State win.Fisher is hoping to have an easier time on Friday. The Seminoles won 14-0 but needed a late defensive touchdown to get some breathing room.Boston College, which got lit up by No. 5 Louisville 52-7 last weekend, still comes into the game ranked 15th in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total defense and eighth against the run. Last season it held Dalvin Cook to 54 yards, which was his lowest total against an ACC team last season.Fisher has had to manage a quick turn earlier in the season. The 20th-ranked Seminoles (6-3, 3-3 ACC, No. 22 CFP) defeated Mississippi on Sept. 5 and had only five days to prepare for their home opener against Charleston Southern.This also marks only the second Friday night home game in Florida State history; the other was in 1957.Fisher used Monday to go through two-minute and short-yardage situations and will devote Tuesday and Wednesday to install the game plan for the Eagles (4-5, 1-4).Cook, who needs 127 yards to break Warrick Dunns school career-mark of 3,833 yards, was held to 65 yards in last Saturdays 24-20 win at North Carolina State. Cook though has nine straight 100-yard games against FBS opponents at home.You cant let him run wild on you, Boston college coach Steve Addazio said of Cook. Dalvin is a guy that youve got to get an extra hat around the ball. Youve got to be careful trying to give him too many unloaded boxes, but then again, they have the speed out in the perimeter with their receivers.One thing Fisher is hoping to correct is the Seminoles slow starts in conference games. They have trailed at halftime in all but one ACC game and at some point in those games have trailed by double digits. The win over the Wolfpack marked FSUs third come-from-behind victory this season where it has trailed by 10 or more points and second in conference.The secondary, which has been beset by injuries, continues to struggle. The Seminoles have allowed 41 passing plays of 20-plus yards this season, which is third-worst among Power 5 schools and allowed four last Saturday.Safety Tre Marshall, who missed last weeks game due to concussion-like symptoms, remains questionable for Friday. If Marshall remains out, Ermon Lane, a converted receiver, would get the start.Fellow safety Derwin James, who had surgery for a torn meniscus on Sept. 12, did some running before the North Carolina State game but Fisher said there is no timetable on his return.Florida State will also be without wide receiver Jesus Bobo Wilson, who had season-ending surgery on his right foot on Monday. Wilson suffered the injury during the first half of the Oct. 17 game against Wake Forest. He tried to rehab the past three weeks but the swelling in the foot did not go down.Wilson was second on the team in receiving with 30 receptions for 390 yards when he was injured. His 89-yard punt return for a touchdown against Charleston Southern on Sept. 10 is the longest in the nation this season.In Wilsons absence, Nyqwan Murray has played well. The sophomore has 15 receptions for 249 yards and a touchdown over the past two games, including nine catches for 153 yards against North Carolina State.Murray is the fourth FSU receiver to have a 100-yard game this year, making it one of seven schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision to have four or more players do that this season.Even though this is the second straight season Florida State is playing on a Friday, Fisher is hoping that it isnt a yearly tradition, even if he understands why it is happening.Its the networks. Thats who has your contracts, he said. I dont think any coach likes it, really. But thats just what were in and thats the world were in.

Benji Marshall has just four weeks to earn a NRL lifeline but Cronulla are offering the under-fire playmaker no sympathy as they seek to address their own woes.Off-contract with St George Illawarra at the end of this season, Marshalls career hangs by a thread.Amid questions about his own form and that of the side on the back of five straight losses, Marshall was forced to deny allegations he was involved in a heated blow-up with coach Paul McGregor during a video session following last weeks loss to Brisbane.The writing appeared to be on the wall earlier in the year when the club made plays for Luke Keary and Corey Norman and McGregor this week failed to give assurances Marshall would line up next year in the Red V.Marshall is adamant he still has two years left in him and he could hardly ask for a better assignment to prove his worth than against the second-placed Sharks.Benjis a quality player, Sharks coach Shane Flanagan said.You dont win grand finals and play for your country if youre not a quality player.We just hope he doesnt bounce back this week and well just be treating Benji the same as we treat the rest of the Dragons.Marshall shared halfback duties at training with youngster Drew Hutchison during the week however McGregor said he was not about to be dropped.The Sharks are second but are an unssatisfied camp after having their 15-game winning run broken by a draw with Gold Coast and loss to Canberra.ddddddddddddThe Sharks will be buoyed by the inclusion of retiring hooker Michael Ennis, who missed last weeks defeat to the Raiders because of a virus.Ennis absence allowed Canberra hooker Josh Hodgson to run amok through the middle of the ruck in a game-changing performance and Flanagan promised they would be a different side with the ex-NSW No.9 in their line-up.What he brings to the dressing room pre-game, his contribution out of dummy-half, his talk in the game, his little one per cent efforts, his kick pressure, his kick chase, all of those things are really hard to replicate, Flanagan said.We definitely missed him and, even at training, you notice a difference.STATS THAT MATTER:* Only twice in club history have the Sharks gone a season without losing back-to-back games - their grand final year in 1973 and in 1996* The Sharks have not lost on the road since round three at Brookvale Oval, losing to Manly 22-12* Discipline is a mixed bag for the Sharks - they are awarded the second-most penalties (7.9) but concede the equal-most penalties (8.1)Source: Fox Sports Stats ' ' '
