Manuel Shines as FSU beats Wake Forest

After injuring his shoulder trying to make a tackle vs Clemson, Christian Ponder announced that he would have season ending surgery. Well that meant that redshirt freshman EJ Manuel would have to fill in for the injured Ponder. Manuel, who was the second most recruited QB in 2007 (Terrelle Pryor was number one) committed to Florida State in 2008. FSU offensive coordinator and coach in waiting Jimbo Fisher had said "He is one of the most talented freshman I have ever seen". Still Fisher and FSU fans expect more of Manuel. Although he had a very impressive start vs ACC rival Wake Forest passing for a TD and rushing for a TD, he and Fisher expect more of him."I still expect expect more" said Manuel" I want to be good at what I do". Manuel will have alot of pressure on him when they face Maryland, because if they win, they've pretty much guaranteed a bowl game but if they lose, they have to beat the gators to go to a bowl. They should win at seniors day in Tallahassee and Manuel should have a heck of a game.
