Seminoles Trample Through Struggling Wake Forest
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State got a huge win over Wake Forest who now falls to 0-3. Florida State improves to 4-0 after dismantling the Demon Deacons 69-10. Chubba Purdy had a near perfect game going 29/36 with 395 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The run game was no slouch either as the Seminoles had a combined 174 yards and four touchdowns, something you don't see often out of this pass-heavy offense.
The first quarter would start the game off close. Purdy would find halfback Lawrence Toafili out of the backfield for an eight yard touchdown pass to make it 7-0. Wake Forest would respond with a three yard run from Sam Hartman to tie it up. Purdy would be intercepted by Isaiah Isaac and that would lead to a 37 yard field goal to make it 10-7. Florida State wouldn't look back after this and drive down the field and score on a two yard run from fullback Adam Ross to make it 14-10.
Florida State would start the second quarter driving down for a 44 yard field goal by Ryan Fitzgerald to make it 17-10. Wake Forest halfback Kenneth Walker III
(sorry MSU fans he didn't transfer in this universe) would fumble and it would be recovered by Cameron Carpenter. This would lead to a one yard touchdown run by Toafili to make it 24-10. Before the half, Florida State would have one more left in them as Purdy would punch it in from two yards out to make it 31-10.
The second half would follow suit as the second quarter and be all Seminoles. Toafili would get his second receiving touchdown of the game on a 16 yard pass from Purdy to make it 38-10. Fitzgerald would kick a 41 yard field goal to make it 41-10. Toafili would get his second rushing touchdown and his fourth total touchdown of the day and they would take a commanding 48-10 lead. Purdy would find Bryan Robinson one yard out to make it 55-10 heading into the final quarter.
The backups picked up where the starters left off in the third and La'Damian Webb would get a seven yard touchdown run to make it 62-10. Jordan Travis would find McKinley Kemp for a 26 yard touchdown pass to wrap things up 69-10. Finally putting an end to this beat down.
