FSU freshman QB Manuel to start vs. Wake (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Heralded recruit EJ Manuel will get his first start Saturday at Wake Forest. The redshirt freshman from Virginia Beach, Va. replaces junior quarterback Christian Ponder, who suffered a dislocated shoulder in Saturday's loss to Clemson. Florida State (4-5, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) must win two of its next three games to avoid its first losing season since 1976.
