  Hank Bachmeier tossed a third-quarter TD pass and Robert Mahone had a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth and Boise State rallied from an 18-point deficit to knock off Florida State 36-31 on Saturday in a game moved from Jacksonville to Tallahassee with an earlier start time due to Hurricane Dorian. Florida State lost its season opener for the third straight time. Bachmeier, a true freshman, was pounded early by Florida State's defensive front but threw for 407 yards as Boise State defeated a Power 5 team for the sixth time since the 2014 season. It was the most passing yards by a Boise State first-time starting quarterback.

James Blackman had three touchdown passes in the first half as Florida State took a 24-6 lead with 10:53 left. Blackman finished completing 23 of 33 passes for 327 yards but the Seminoles were held scoreless after halftime. His third touchdown pass, a 58-yard toss to Keyshawn Helton, put the Seminoles up 31-13 with 4:07 left in the second quarter. Bachmeier connected with Khalil Shakir on an 11-yard touchdown, Eric Sachse had a pair of field goals and Mahone then put the Broncos ahead with his plunge with 12:44 to go. - AP College Football

  Jamie Newman will begin the season as Wake Forest's starting quarterback. Coach Dave Clawson announced the decision Sunday to start Newman ahead of sophomore Sam Hartman. Clawson says he was confident in both quarterbacks because they both looked capable when healthy. Hartman started the first nine games of 2018 as a freshman, completing 55 percent of his passes for 1,984 yards and 16 touchdowns before suffering a season-ending leg injury. Newman took over and led the Demon Deacons to an upset at North Carolina State and a Birmingham Bowl victory over Memphis while throwing for nine TDs and completing nearly 60 percent of his throws. - AP College Football

  2019 PRESEASON INAUGURAL PATRICK MANNELLY LONG SNAPPER AWARD WATCH LIST: Dayton Diemel, Wake Forest,...Diemel, a 5-10, 230-pound senior from Hudson, Wis., became Wake Forest's long snapper at mid-season in 2016. Since becoming the starter, Diemel has successfully handled 376 snap attempts without a single errant snap. His career total includes 118 PAT attempts, 65 field goal attempts and 193 punts.

"Dayton has done a great job for us," said special teams coach Wayne Lineburg. "He has been a very, very dependable long snapper and we're looking for him to have another outstanding year.

  Bassey's 38 career passes defended (which combines interceptions and break-ups) is tied for the eighth-most in program history, and he's eight away from third-place Eric King. Bassey tied the single-season record in 2017 with 19 passes defended, and would need even more to reach second-place on the career list - Alphonso Smith had 61 passes defended from 2005-08, and A.J. Greene had 63 between 1985-88. There's a little more attention on Bassey from outside of the program, too: He landed on the preseason watch lists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy (best defensive player) and the Jim Thorpe Award (best defensive back).

Last August, coming off a season with three interceptions and 16 pass break-ups, it seemed Bassey was snubbed from the Jim Thorpe Award. "It's cool to see. It just speaks toward the expectations I have...from people around, just being a leader and continue to contribute the best way I can on the team," Bassey said. "Expectations are high and I wouldn't have it any other way. "I mean, it's good to see your name on those lists, but you know...at the end of the day, my main focus is coming out and working, leading my team the best way I can." - Winston Salem Journal

  2019 PRESEASON WUERFFEL TROPHY WATCH LIST: Cade Carney, Wake Forest, Senior, RB,...Carney is one of just 10 players in the ACC to appear on the preseason watch list. "I experience great joy when lives are positively affected as a result of efforts made and relationships built through community service," said Carney. Among Carney's community service efforts have been serving as a board member of Santa's Helper.

Carney, a 5-11, 215-pound senior running back from Advance, N.C. (Davidson Day) became the first Demon Deacon since 2005 to rush for over 1,000 yards when he posted 1,005 yards in 2018. A two-year captain, Carney enters his senior season as the 15th-ranked rusher in school history with 1,826 career yards. He has five career 100-yard rushing games including a career-best 223 yards in the 2018 regular season finale victory at Duke. - Wake Forest Football

"It's nice to see Essang be recognized for his performance over the last three seasons," said Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson. "We look forward to him having an outstanding senior campaign." - Wake Forest Football

  2019 PRESEASON BUTKUS AWARD WATCH LIST: Justin Strnad, Wake Forest,...Strnad, a 6-3, 235-pound redshirt senior inside linebacker from Palm Harbor, Fla. (East Lake), led Wake Forest with 105 tackles in 2018 while earning honorable mention All-ACC honors. He had six games of 10 or more tackles including five of the final seven contests of the season. A versatile special teams player, Strnad logged over 1,000 snaps last year and led the team in tackles six times.

His nine solo tackles in a win over Memphis in the Jared Birmingham Bowl ranks as the most-ever for a Demon Deacon in a bowl game. "Justin has really matured and grown into not only an outstanding player but a very strong leader for our program," said Clawson. "He is very deserving of this recognition from the Butkus Award." - Wake Forest Football

He is one of five co-captains on this year's Wake Forest team. - Wake Forest Football
