The Florida State Seminoles went on the road to face the NC State Wolfpack in Carter-Finley stadium at night for their first true sod game of the season.
The defense started strong as the two teams traded punches to feel each other out and both the Seminoles and the Wolfpack were slow to start out on offense. Playing sound, the ‘Noles were still without Fabian Lovett on the inside and tackle Robert Cooper went down early opening up a hole that was repeatedly stopped until the final contested drives of the game.
The Wolfpack ran hard to try and set their feet but ended their first drive with a field goal and through the opening quarter, the game proved to be a defensive parlay.
