Redshirt freshman QB E.J. Manuel will get the start against Wake Forest as QB Christian Ponder is out for the rest of the season
The Matador is saying it now, Bobby Bowden will not be the head coach of Florida State come next season. Not only are the Seminoles 4-5 and face their first losing season in over 30 years, but now the starting QB Christian Ponder is out for the rest of the season with a separated right shoulder.
Ponder’s injury was a result of him making a tackle during the 4th quarter of the Clemson game, which Florida State lost 40-24. Florida Sate faces Wake Forest this weekend and Bowden’s and the team’s fate rests on redshirt freshman E.J. Manuel. He will be making his first career start. Prior to this game, he has played in two games throwing for 1 completion off of two passes for a total of 4 yards.
It is clear that the Florida States dominance in the ACC has dissipated during the latter years of Bowden and it’s even more clear the fans are ready for a change.
