Oct. 29--COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- New triggerman, same late-game blanks.

And Florida State's season tumbles to levels not seen since Bobby Bowden began laying his legacy.

A surprise start by Xavier Lee came up empty Saturday night when Gary Cismesia's potential tying field goal was blocked with 42 seconds left, preserving Maryland's 27-24 triumph.

Jeremy Navarre knifed through the left side to swat down Cismesia's 46-yard attempt, sending FSU (4-4, 2-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) into November without a winning record for the first time in 30 years.
