TALLAHASSEE Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder's bruised ribs were feeling better than even he expected.

Florida State spokesman Bob Thomas said Ponder told him on Sunday that his condition was improved.

Ponder, who ranks third nationally in total offense per game, was injured early in Saturday's 45-42 win over North Carolina State, but he played with the pain.

Coach Bobby Bowden said coaches will monitor Ponder closely at practice this week to see if the injury effects his throwing motion.

The Seminoles (4-4, 2-3 ACC) play Clemson (5-3, 3-2) on Saturday night (7:45, ESPN) and need a victory to keep alive any hopes of winning their division and sneaking into next month's ACC title game in Tampa.
