For the second rain-soaked week in a row at Groves Stadium Wake football lost, this time against ACC foe, 11th-ranked Florida State. Everett Golson and the vaunted Seminole defense were too much for the Deacs, as the second comeback in a row fell short, 24-16.
Though starter John Wolford practiced this week, dressed, and warmed up for the game, for the second consecutive week, he sat out and gave Kendall Hinton the start. Florida State deferred to the second half, and Hinton took over from his own 13 yard line to start the game. Matt Colburn got the first rush of the game for a quick four yards up the middle, followed by a defensive procedure penalty bringing up a 2nd and short.
