Along with N.C. State and Georgia Tech, Florida State encountered Wake Forest on the gridiron in plenty of seasons before they joined the ACC in 1992. FSU holds a decisive edge in the series with a 30-7-1 overall record, but Wake Forest has won 5 of the past 14 games.
While FSU rolled over Wake most of the 1990’s, Bobby Bowden’s crew looked to simply escape with a win back in the 1998 game. With star quarterback Chris Weinke out for the season, Marcus Outzen (you may remember him as the Rooster) stepped in to lead FSU to a modest 24-7 win.
