Florida State vs Wake Forest Game Preview

Why Wake Forest Will Win

Sam Hartman almost pulled it off.

Clemson is Clemson – it had the defense and it had the guys to pull off the 51-45 win last week over the Demon Deacons – but Hartman balled out with his third straight 300-yard game since returning from the blood clot issue and hit the Tigers for six touchdown passes and a slew of deep plays.

Florida State hasn’t seen anything like Hartman and the Wake Forest passing game.

Jayden Daniels was able to hit the midrange passes in LSU’s loss to the Noles, and he almost pulled off the win with a late rally. Louisville’s Malik Cunningham threw for 243 yards, and even Boston College’s dying offense was able to connect on a slew of short range throws.

Florida State has to get ready to crank up the offense, but …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Florida State Will Win

Can the Wake Forest defense hold up?

The pass rush is good, and the run defense hasn’t been too bad, but DJ Uiagalelei came up with a terrific passing day for Clemson. Now it’s Jordan Travis’s turn.

He might not be the flashiest of quarterbacks in a huge year for the position, but the veteran has been accurate, he’s coming up with the explosive downfield plays, and his team is 4-0 after he bombed away for over 300 yards in the 44-14 win over Boston College.

As good as Travis is, the FSU passing game isn’t going to be able to keep up yard for yard with what Hartman brings, but it’s the rushing attack that should take over.

– Schedules, Previews CollegeNFL

What’s Going To Happen

The Seminoles lead the ACC in rushing, they’re great at controlling the ball and the tempo, and they’ll have the O on the field for over 35 minutes.

And the weather? After so much worry and concern about Hurricane Ian pummeling Tallahassee, it shifted away. It’s going to be in the mid-80s with minimal wind and little chance of rain.

The conditions will be perfect for a shootout. Florida State will come up with more from the running game to take over late in the thriller.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Florida State (0-2) vs Wake Forest (2-0) Game Preview


Why Florida State Will Win

Let’s just call the Jacksonville State meltdown a function of the short week after a painfully tough close loss to Notre Dame.

There’s no excuse – Jacksonville State got rocked by UAB the week before – but that wasn’t the same jacked up Seminole team that fought back against the Irish.

The running game is still there. It has the backs to hit the Wake Forest defensive front for at least 250 yards, there are enough good quarterback options to play around with the situation, and on the other side, the pass rush is there to bother the backfield.

However …

Week 3 College Football Expert Picks

Why Wake Forest Will Win

The Florida State secondary is a problem.

It’s not just the bizarre ending to last week’s loss to the Gamecocks. Notre Dame’s Jack Coan went off, Jacksonville State’s Zerrick Cooper had a few big pass plays before that, and this week it’s Sam Hartman who should have a little fun.

The Demon Deacon offense goes fast, hits big, and has no problem keeping defenses on their heels. The O line has been good so far, Hartman is a grizzled veteran who’s seen it all in the ACC, and Florida State is reeling.

Just a few big plays will force the Noles to press.

Week 3 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Don’t write off Florida State quite yet.

It showed against Notre Dame that it can run, McKenzie Milton is a terrific quarterback who’s still shaking off the rust, and the defense has speed and enough talent to be better.

This isn’t fair or right, but Florida State could just as easily be 2-0 right now as it is 0-2.

Even so, the Wake Forest offense will be too sharp, too efficient, and too good early on. Florida State will mount a comeback with a slew of big runs on the ground, but the back-and-forth fight will end with Hartman coming through after the Seminole attack stalls.

Why Wake Forest Will Win

The Demon Deacons are trying really, really hard to get this season going.

They haven’t played a whole lot of games, and they dug themselves too deep a hole with a horrible start to the ACC season, but they’ve won three of their last five by shooting okay and coming up with a whole lot of rebounds.

Florida State is struggling from three over the last few games and this remains one of the ACC’s worst rebounding teams. As long as Wake Forest can keep shooting reasonably well, and as long as it owns the rebounding margin by at least five, it should stay alive against the mistake-prone Noles.

However …

Why Florida State Will Win

Yeah, Florida State turned is over as much as anyone in the ACC, and yeah, it commits more fouls than anyone in the conference, but it also plays better D than anyone in the league to go along with a whole lot of points.

The Noles went dead cold from the outside in the loss at Georgia Tech, but they’re generally fine from three and Wake Forest doesn’t guard all that well from the outside.

The Demon Deacons aren’t bad from the field, but they don’t score enough to keep up.

What’s Going To Happen

Florida State will quickly get past the rough loss to the Yellow Jackets over a week ago and should come back roaring. Wake Forest won’t be able to hang with an offense that will keep on rolling for a full 40 minutes.
