September 30, 2017Florida State recorded their first win of the season in dramatic fashion at Wake Forest.
True freshman James Blackman threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Auden Tate with 53 seconds to lift Florida State to a 26-19 win over Wake Forest on Saturday.
The win was the first of the year for the Seminoles, who had a 21-day layoff after Week 1 because of Hurricane Irma.
Plucky upstart Florida State just took the lead against undefeated Wake Forest with 53 seconds remaining.

As we all know, BB&T field is a notoriously tough place to play. Very similar to LSU at night. FSU back

Wake Forest jumped out to a 12-3 lead in the second quarter before a Jacques Patrick touchdown run and Rick Aguayo field goal gave Florida State a 13-12 lead at halftime.
Wake Forest took the lead early in the fourth quarter through a Matt Colburn seven-yard touchdown run. The road team bounced back with a 35-yard field goal from Aguayo to tie the game.
The Seminoles got the ball back with with 1:01 left in regulation and Blackman threw a strike to Tate on the first play of the drive.
That is an awesome job by Auden Tate with a shoulder separation. Blackman had all day to throw and threw a dime.

Florida State returns home to face Miami next week. Things don’t get easier for Wake Forest as they travel to play Clemson on Saturday.
