Florida State started Clint Trickett at quarterback at Wake Forest, only to replace him with E.J. Manuel after struggling to a 29 yard, two INT first half.

Manuel entered late in the second quarter, and threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns, while being picked off twice.  It should put to rest any potential QB controversy in Tallahassee, and with no running game to speak of, Manuel should post very solid numbers against Duke next week.
