Florida State quarterback Chris Rix will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks, the Associated Press reported yesterday. Rix suffered a sprained ankle late in the first quarter of the Seminoles' 41-22 victory over Clemson last weekend.
Redshirt sophomore Wyatt Sexton, who replaced the injured Rix, will make his first start this weekend when the No. 9 Seminoles host North Carolina.
Sexton completed 17 of 26 passes for 162 yards against the Tigers, including a 47-yard scoring pass, Florida State's first touchdown toss of the season. He is also expected to start Oct. 9 when the Seminoles travel to Syracuse to play the Orange.
