Mitch Griffis was not available for Wake Forest during a Week 8 win over Pitt. Fortunately, the starter for the Demon Deacons is expected to be back in the lineup for Week 9 as No. 4 Florida State comes to town.
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Griffis will be available this weekend and will start for Wake Forest. Santino Marucci made his first career start against Pitt in place of Griffis.
So far this season, Griffis has thrown for 1,211 yards while completing 59.2% of his passes with 9 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He also has 79 rushing yards to his credit but has not scored on the ground.
