TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA - Florida State completed its second preseason scrimmage without any major injuries, a pleasant change for coach Bobby Bowden after the No. 3 Seminoles lost three players to injury in their first. <br> <br> ``Everyone improved on the last scrimmage and we came out pretty lucky on the injuries,&#39;&#39; Bowden said. <br> <br> The only starter injured Wednesday was offensive tackle Brett Williams, who re-injured a strained shoulder when he fell trying to make a downfield block and a teammate landed on him. <br> <br> Williams will not be back in full pads until the Aug. 24 season-opener against Iowa State, trainer Randy Oravetz said. <br> <br> The first-team offense scored two touchdowns Wednesday, one a 44-yard pass from starting quarterback Chris Rix to receiver Joey Kaleikini, the other a 19-yard run by freshman tailback Leon Washington. <br> <br> Florida State&#39;s four freshman backs got 22 carries in Wednesday&#39;s scrimmage; starter Greg Jones got only two. <br> <br> ``We&#39;ve got to decide what we want to do with them,&#39;&#39; Bowden said. ``We can get special plays for them and let them play or we can hold them back.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The Seminoles&#39; defense tallied five sacks on the day and linebacker Allen Augustin returned a fumble for a touchdown. <br> <br> The team will scrimmage again Friday.
