WATCH: Keon Coleman Stiff-Arms His Way For Touchdown To Extend Florida State's Lead
Florida State came into the game against the Demon Deacons without the services of three wide receivers in the two-deep, including a pair of starters. With Johnny Wilson, Destyn Hill, and Hykeem Williams out of the lineup, a bigger burden than expected has fallen on rising star Keon Coleman.
Despite an emphasis from the Wake Forest defense to limit Coleman, he's answered the challenge and is delivering another standout performance to add to his resume. Quarterback Jordan Travis targeted him on his first four passes of the game and is continuing to consistently look for his top target.
