Florida State defensive back Jarrian Jones left the Wake Forest game on Saturday in the second quarter. Jones was seen heading to the locker room with the Seminoles medical staff. The status of his injury is currently unknown at this point. The Seminoles were already struggling today with the Demon Deacons’ offense and trying to figure out ways to slow one of the ACC’s best quarterbacks, Sam Hartman. It’s never good news when one of your corners leaves the game early against one of the best quarterbacks in college football. The game is being televised on ABC.

Last year, Jones appeared in all 12 games with six starts. He racked up 22 tackles, including 0.5 tackles for loss, one interception, and two pass breakups.

The Seminoles’ defense has been banged up on Saturday afternoon, but defensive end Jared Verse has been showing some flashes in limited action. He had a critical sack in the second quarter that pushed the Demon Deacons into a fourth and long situation. It was Florida State’s first sack on the afternoon.

Wake Forest ran 50 offensive plays in the first half. It’ll be interesting to see as the game wears on late in the fourth quarter if the Florida State defense gets gassed. The Seminoles can’t find any answers for the high-octane Demon Deacon offensive attack thus far. Wake Forest currently leads the game, 28-13 with less than four minutes remaining in the third quarter. Wake running back Justice Ellison has gashed the ‘Noles defense for 114 rushing yards and one touchdown on just 16 carries already. Star receiver A.T. Perry has hauled in seven catches for 85 receiving yards for the Demon Deacons. Florida State receiver Mycah Pittman has been the star of the day for the ‘Noles, hauling in two touchdown catches already.
