The Storylines

Clemson will play their third straight night game when they take on Florida State in Tallahassee tonight. The Tigers are coming off a 31-3 win over Boston College last Saturday night. 

This week, Clemson will be in search of its 10th 7-0 start in program history and its seventh such start under Swinney. Clemson opened the 1948, 1981, 2000, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020 campaigns with seven straight wins, earning a conference title (either Southern Conference or ACC) in eight of those nine seasons. Neither the kickoff time nor the ABC spotlight will

Myles Murphy gets the strip sack off the left end and Tyler Davis recovers. Clemson will have a chance to get more points here before the half with 47 seconds left.

Clemson has won the first half of the "Middle 8" -- Tigers get the fumble recovery and score to add to their lead. They lead 24-14 with 19 seconds to play before the half.

The middle 8 is what the Clemson staff calls the last 4 minutes of the first half and the first 4 minutes of the second half.

HALF: Clemson 24, FSU 14

Tigers will get the ball to start the second half. That was a huge score to end the half there. You would think if Clemson can come out and get a score here to start the half, they'll begin to create some distance.

Wow. What a fast start to the second half. A huge kickoff return from Will Shipley and then a double reverse from DJU to Davis Allen on a 31-yard TD reception.

Clemson extends the lead to 31-14 just seconds into the third quarter.

FSU tries a fake punt that doesn't fool the Clemson coverage team. Tigers take over in FSU territory.

What's happening to FSU right now is what happened to Clemson for years when Bobby Bowden was running the program in Tallahassee.

END 3Q: Clemson 34, Florida State 14

Noles have the ball trying to hang around as we head into the final quarter. Ruke Orhorhoro got called for a face mask penalty on third down which extended the drive.

Shout out to you, Brandon for holding it down. I always get caught up working in the second half.

FSU down to their last chance to hang with Clemson facing 4th and goal. Tigers call a timeout as we are in the fourth. Clemson leads 34-14.

I am surprised that Clemson didn't give the ball to Shipley on that series. A couple of passes and the Tigers will punt. Tigers lead FSU 34-14 with 11:45 left to play in the game.

Ja'Khi Douglas scores on a 6-yard TD reception. He sat down right in the middle of the zone and it was an easy toss for Jordan Travis.

Noles cut into Clemson's lead at 34-21 with 9:22 to play in the game. This is an important drive for the Tigers coming here -- still lots of time left.

Tigers will be forced to punt with 3:52 to play in the game. They have FSU pinned, leading 34-21.

This one isn't over yet. Jordan Travis tosses a touchdown on a quick 94-yard drive. Tigers lead 34-28 with 2:17 to play and this game will come down to an onside kick.

Brannon Spector recovers the onside kick. Tigers should be able to run this out but I know Dabo Swinney won't be thrilled with how his team finished the game.

That last defensive drive was so frustrating...but the Tigers will leave FSU with a win.

FINAL: Clemson 34, Florida State 28

Tigers win their 13th straight tonight on the road in Tallahassee. Things got a little interesting there at the end and you have to give Florida State credit for continuing to battle even when they were down 20. I thought DJU played well, finishing 15-of-23 for 203 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Next up, it's another battle of undefeated teams as Clemson and Syracuse will tangle in Death Valley next Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is at 12 noon.
