Greg Dent, Bert Reed and Rashad Greene each recorded a TD reception, while
Devonta Freeman added a rushing score in the whitewash.
Kolton Browning ended 11-of-19 for 85 yards and one pick for the Warhawks
(0-1), who were limited to 191 yards of total offense.
The lone score of the opening quarter came when Manuel hit Reed for a nine-
yard score to cap FSU's third drive of the contest.
The Seminoles got untracked in the second quarter, going 87 yards in 17 plays
and taking a 10-0 lead on a 24-yard field from Dustin Hopkins.
Despite a Darius Prelow interception at the goal line on FSU's ensuing
possession, the Warhawks saw their ensuing drive halted when Lamarcus Joyner
picked off Browning deep in Seminoles territory.
An 84-yard march ensued and it was 17-0 for the home squad after a 50-yard
Manuel-to-Dent hook-up.
Freeman's one-yard run put the exclamation point on a 66-yard drive in 14
plays for a 24-0 game and proved to be the lone tally of the third quarter.
Hopkins added a 23-yarder in the fourth, then Clint Trickett used his first
career passing attempt to hit Greene for a 23-yard strike with less than seven
minutes to play which capped the scoring.
