Preview: Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Florida State Seminoles


Second-ranked Florida State looks to keep its perfect record in tact when it hosts Wake Forest on Saturday. The Seminoles rallied from a 17-point deficit against North Carolina State to extend the nation's longest winning streak to 20 games, but fell below Alabama in the latest USA Today top-25 poll. "I'm very proud of where we are, I like the development of the team," coach Jimbo Fisher said. "I'm very excited to see where we go from here, I really am."

Wake Forest has lost two of its last three games and is coming off a 20-10 setback to Louisville. Things are likely to go from bad to worse for the Demon Deacons as they hope to halt a seven-game road losing skid in Tallahassee, where they have won just three times since 1959. "It certainly doesn't get easier this week as we're going down and playing the defending national champions," coach Dave Clawson said. "They are loaded on both sides of the ball."
