First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm, resulting in no points on the board. The Demon Deacons' defense showed promise early on, managing to keep the Seminoles from scoring despite multiple attempts. Defensive lineman Nuer Gatkuoth made his presence felt with a sack that momentarily halted Florida State's momentum.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, the Seminoles began to assert their dominance. They scored two touchdowns, capitalizing on gaps in Wake's defense. Despite efforts from players like Davaughn Patterson and Nick Andersen who combined for several tackles, Florida State managed to break through and take control of the game.


Third Quarter


The third quarter mirrored much of what happened earlier as Florida State continued its offensive surge by adding another two touchdowns to their tally. Robby Ashford struggled under pressure but managed some key completions amidst heavy coverage from FSU’s defense.


Fourth Quarter


In an attempt to rally back during the fourth quarter, Deshawn Purdie connected with Micah Mays for a touchdown pass that finally put points on Wake’s side of the scoreboard. However, it was too little too late as FSU responded swiftly with another touchdown drive sealing their victory.


Despite this setback for Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Florida State Seminoles recap shows glimpses of potential within individual performances such as Gabe Kirschke forcing fumbles and recovering one himself which could be pivotal in future games.
