Oklahoma Vs. Florida State: Seminoles Quarterback EJ Manuel Injured

Florida State's quarterback E.J. Manuel returned to the locker room, accompanied by Florida State's trainers, in the third quarter with an injury.

Freshman quarterback Clint Trickett has taken Manuel's place on the field for the Seminoles. Trickett has played sparingly in Florida State's two blowout wins to start the year, completing seven of eight passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns. 

Trickett, though, will facing a much tougher challenge against the top-ranked Oklahoma Sooners. 

It's unknown how long Manuel will be sidelined for. Manuel was 13-of-19 passing for 85 yards and two interceptions prior to the injury. Manuel also rushed eight times for 49 yards.

The Seminoles currently trail Oklahoma 13-3 late in the third quarter.

Oklahoma Vs. Florida State: Sooners Lead Seminoles 13-3 At Halftime

In somewhat of an ugly first half of play, the Oklahoma Sooners lead the Florida State Seminoles 13-3 at halftime.

The two top five teams have managed to combine for three first half turnovers, with both quarterbacks being the culprits. Heisman hopeful Landry Jones is 9-of-14 passing in the first half of play for 108 yards and an interception. Jones, though, did run for Oklahoma's lone touchdown. 

Florida State's EJ Manuel has had a tougher time than Jones, going 8-of-14 for just 60 yards while throwing two interceptions. 

Manuel, though, has been effective on the ground, rushing seven times for 43 yards, essentially accounting for Florida State's running game. 

The Sooners had an opportunity late in the first half to extend their lead to 17-3, but had to settle for a field goal as the first half expired. After being set up with with a first-and-goal situation at Florida State's three yard line, Landry Jones threw an incomplete pass, followed by a two yard run and a holding penalty. Jones then threw an incomplete pass on third and goal, forcing the Sooners to kick a field goal as time expired in the first half. 

Both teams will need to make halftime adjustments, but clearly, the onus is on the Seminoles to respond and make sure Oklahoma doesn't run away with the game.
