Matchup History: Florida State vs. Wake Forest
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. Noles sacked Wake Forest 7 times and Mario Edwards had an eye-popping 4 interceptions in the victory.
