College Football Scores: Wake Forest Takes Over in Fourth to Score Upset Against #21 Florida State

Atlanta, Ga. 10/12/2007 11:37:47 AM

Riley Skinner hit Kenneth Moore on a 35-yard touchdown pass for the go-ahead score and Sam Swank kicked a 48-yard field goal to push the advantage to ten as the Wake Forest Demon Deacons beat the #21 Florida State Seminoles 24-21 on Thursday night.

 

With the win Wake Forest improved to 4-2 and 3-1 in the ACC while FSU fell to 4-2 and 1-2 in ACC play.

 

Wake jumped to a 7-0 lead in the second quarter when Josh Adams busted an 83-yard touchdown run on the first play following an FSU punt. The Seminoles answered with a six play 63-yard touchdown drive of their own that was capped by a Xavier Lee 6-yard TD pass to Preston Parker.

 

The Deacons had a perfect opportunity to take the lead after recovering a Lee fumble at their own 19-yard line but on their first play from scrimmage Adams fumbled and FSU recovered. Lee then hit Greg Carr on a 50-yard pass play to move the Seminoles down to the Wake 25-yard line. Four plays later FSU was in the endzone on a Lee to Carr touchdown pass and the Seminoles were up 14-7 at the break.

 

In the third quarter Wake was able to capitalize off a Lee interception as they staged a 9 play 80-yard drive to tie the score 14-14 when Skinner hit Adams on a 6-yard pass.

 

Skinner then led the Deacons on an 82-yard drive in the fourth quarter, highlighted by a 35-yard toss to Moore for the go-ahead score. After Lee was picked off for the time second time in the game Wake Forest managed to chew up nearly five minutes of the clock and Swank sealed the game with 1:20 left with a 48-yard field goal.

 

Lee then brought the Seminoles to within three with 17 seconds left but it was wasn’t enough to avoid the upset.

 

Adams finished with 140 yards rushing while the Deacons defense limited the Seminole running game to just 47 yards on the ground.
