Clemson off to blazing start vs. Florida State, leads 17-0 after first quarter

Clemson leads big after one quarter of play in Tallahassee.

The Clemson Tigers are off and running again.

After one quarter of play at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, the Tigers lead the Florida State Seminoles, 17-0.

For the fourth straight game, the Tigers got on the board first, picking up their first points off a 26-yard field goal from Nolan Hauser with 6:33 to play in the first quarter for a 3-0 lead.

On their next possession, Cade Klubnik hit Antonio Williams for a 57-yard touchdown to put the Tigers ahead 10-0 with 3:20 to play in the first quarter.

Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell picked off Seminoles quarterback Brock Glenn on the ensuing drive to give the Tigers the ball near midfield. Klubnik ran 14 yards to the FSU 35 for a first down but had to leave the game for one play after taking a hard hit from a Florida State defender.

Klubnik returned on the next snap and promptly found freshman T.J. Moore for a 23-yard touchdown to make it 17-0 following Hauser’s extra point with just 2 seconds left in the opening quarter.

It looks like a long night ahead for the Seminoles.
