Florida State Football Seeks First ACC Win Against Wake Forest Amid Fourth Consecutive Losses

Florida State University (FSU) football faces a crucial matchup against Wake Forest amid a challenging season marked by a four-game losing streak and a nine-game ACC losing streak. Despite the struggles, FSU remains favored due to its tougher schedule and strong defensive metrics, particularly against the run, which could neutralize Wake Forest's run-dependent offense. Analysts and former coach Jimbo Fisher expect FSU to break the losing streak, emphasizing the potential impact of key offensive plays and the return of quarterback Tommy Castellanos, who has been instrumental but is currently battling injuries. The Seminoles' performance has been inconsistent since their season-opening upset over Alabama, which raised expectations significantly. The team hopes to capitalize on homecoming weekend and the opportunity to rally with the support of their fans and recruiting targets. FSU's prospects hinge on maintaining defensive strength and offensive execution, with a particular focus on overcoming Wake Forest's aggressive defense and capitalizing on their own playmakers.
