24.1: Value, in equivalent points, of the five turnovers Florida State committed in their 35-30 loss to Wake Forest. The Seminoles lost their third consecutive game, thanks mostly to their own mistakes and their inability to generate any momentum through the air when they fell behind. FSU quarterbacks E.J. Manuel and Clint Trickett combined to complete 25 of 46 passes for 315 yards, but they threw four interceptions and got sacked twice in the process. (Major credit goes to Wake cornerback Merrill Noel. The redshirt freshman made 7.5 tackles, picked off a pass, and broke up three other passes.) Wake did manage 391 yards of offense, but they would not have scored the requisite points without FSU's own random bouts with ineptitude.
