No. 21 Florida State out to avenge last year's 30-0 loss to Wake Forest
By JOEDY McCREARY, AP Sports Writer
October 10, 2007

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Andre Fluellen never thought any team could beat mighty Florida State by 30 points -- let alone perennial pushover Wake Forest.

A year after the Demon Deacons' shocking 30-0 rout in Tallahassee, the No. 21 Seminoles are out for revenge.

ADVERTISEMENT
"I would never imagine Florida State getting beat by anybody shut out at home by 30," the Florida State defensive lineman said. "I would never think that would happen."

It did, and now the Seminoles (4-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) are looking to prove Thursday night that their swagger is back after last year's humbling loss to eventual league champion Wake Forest (3-2, 2-1).

It was the program's first shutout loss at home under Bobby Bowden and one the winningest coach in major college football described as "the only real bad licking we took last year."

"They just blew us out quickly," Bowden added. "A lot of it was self-destruction, but that's the way they play football (at Wake Forest). They're a very opportunistic team that just dares you to make an error. That was a big awakening for us."

Since that rout, the Seminoles haven't allowed a team to score 30 points. They're ranked ninth nationally this season in scoring defense, 11th against the rush and 17th in total defense, and after four straight wins have rejoined the national rankings for the first time since the preseason.

And if the offense gets rolling, look out. Last week against North Carolina State, Xavier Lee was turnover-free and threw for 257 yards in his first start of the season. His favorite target, 6-foot-6 receiver Greg Carr, has nine catches for 247 yards and a touchdown in the last two games.

"Unless you've got a 6-6 cornerback out there, you've got issues," Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said.

Lee -- whom Bowden said will start despite missing a midweek practice because of an academic conflict -- must avoid mistakes against a Wake Forest defense that has returned interceptions for touchdowns in its last three games, and in last year's matchup picked off four passes and returned one for a score.

"Teams that typically have 21 players as good as anybody else in the country, and they've got inconsistent performance at quarterback, they're generally not a great football team -- that's everybody, not just Florida State," Grobe said. "If you get really good quarterback play at the so-called traditional powers, you're going to be in the national title hunt ... if your quarterback play's not real, real good, you're going to have trouble winning big games."

The Demon Deacons must shake receiver Kenneth Moore free against the Seminoles' tough defense. Moore -- one of three Bowl Subdivision players to lead his team in both receiving and rushing -- caught one scoring pass and rushed for the game-clincher in last week's 41-36 victory against Duke.

Bowden says Moore reminds him of a star multipurpose threat from his second national title-winning team, wideout Peter Warrick.

"You don't see many like that," Bowden said.

Wake Forest is led by do-everything wide receiver Kenneth Moore. The 6-foot, 204-pound senior leads the team in rushing (245 yards, three touchdowns), receiving (360, one TD) and punt returns (10.1 average, one TD). He also leads the ACC in receiving yards and is one of only three players in the nation who lead their teams in both rushing and receiving.

“This game is pretty big for us,” Moore said on Tuesday. “It’s Thursday night, sold out, national TV.

“We got a big team coming in, No. 21 in the country. It doesn’t get better than that.”

Moore said the short turnaround from Saturday to Thursday is a major adjustment. He said this week was the first time he’s ever practiced on Sunday, and added that he was a bit “mixed up” heading into the week.

Grobe said the biggest hurdle facing Wake Forest is a mental one. His team is fresh off a 41-36 battle with cellar-dwelling Duke. There were only two full days this week to prepare for an FSU squad looking for revenge after last year’s rout.

“You want to play well, and certainly it can be embarrassing if you go out and don’t play to your capabilities,” Grobe said. “We really haven’t put it together in our first five games, we’ve been making too many mental mistakes to be a good football team.”

Wake Forest, which has lost 21 of 25 all-time meetings against the Seminoles, have problems dotted throughout the lineup.

Moore’s play has helped overcome disappointing production at quarterback. Grobe hoped the position would be one of strength with returning starter Riley Skinner, who has regressed after a successful freshman campaign.

Wake Forest quarterbacks have provided balance over the past two games (219 and 221 yards, respectively), but Skinner has struggled over the course of 2007. He has completed 70 percent of his passes, but he has thrown seven interceptions and only two touchdowns. He tossed five interceptions all of last season.

Grobe didn’t single out Skinner in his Tuesday press conference. But it’s obvious the quarterback with 12 wins as a starter is one of the players that need to perform better should Wake Forest contend for a second straight title.

Grobe is aware that last year’s thumping of FSU serves as motivation for the Seminoles. That does little to deter the Demon Deacons, whose surprising run to the ACC championship put the rest of the college football world on notice.
