After that, I should have all the hats and T-shirts, as they say.\" \"You see all the bad that goes on,\" Ferguson said. \"If it's bad and it's happening, it's coming through communications. You learn to balance all of that.\" \"I've seen a lot of things in life -- some good, some bad,\" he said. \"But it's those small successes that keep you going. If you are able to make a difference one time in five years, that's one time you made a difference in somebody's life.\"

Plaintiffs' attorneys: Chip [Chip Ferguson] and Chris Coco of Provost & Umphrey in Beaumont, Texas. In an effort to explain why there had been no regulation, Ferguson and Coco used a former employee of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), who testified about the strong lobby the industry has in Washington, D.C. and how much influence the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) wields. Experts offered conflicting evidence on the plaintiff's lifespan. One said the plainitff could live another 50 years, another said another 25 years was more likely. Ferguson and Coco told the jury a verdict of $50 million would compensate for her injuries and her daughters' loss of consortium.

FSU TRAINER Randy Oravetz said [Chip Ferguson]'s shoulder injury was serious enough to warrant a two-week recovery period. But he was not willing to rule out the possibility that he could have come back next week if the Seminoles had a game. \"He's a tough nut,\" Oravetz said. \"He came back in the Gator Bowl with a cracked collarbone and played.\" Ferguson: \"I could have gone on to play, but they didn't want me to go out and maybe make it worse.\"

Defensive back Deion Sanders scored the first touchdown on a 39-yard interception. . . .

QUARTERBACK CHIP Ferguson hasn't returned to full practice. Trainer Randy Oravetz said Ferguson's injured left shoulder has improved, but the decision on whether he will play Saturday against No. 15 South Carolina won't be made until game time. Coach Bobby Bowden: \"It will take a miracle in the next couple of days for him to play. It has happened before, but it's very shaky right now. We had a good day of practice. The trainers tell me that Chip looked a little better today, but he is still not ready to practice.\"
