Summary
Florida State got back in the win column this past weekend with a dominant 42-7 win over Wake Forest at Doak Campbell Stadium. The win snapped a four-game losing streak and got Mike Norvell's team back to .500 on the season.Â
This episode of On the Bench recaps the win over the Demon Deacons and its potential impact on four remaining games in the regular season. We also take an early lookahead at the Seminoles' upcoming road matchup with the struggling Clemson Tigers. Chris Nee also gives a quick preview of FSU basketball's opening game, and Zach Blostein reviews football's latest commits.
