Clemson vs Florida State Game Preview

Why Clemson Will Win

The offense is getting more consistent.

The passing game was hardly sharp in the win over Boston College, but it didn’t need to be great to pull that off. The O is hitting the 200-yard mark through the air every week, the running game has find a nice groove to balance things out, and the turnovers have been kept to a bare minimum.

Florida State’s defense is able to hold up – it did a nice job of keeping the Wake Forest machine from going crazy – but the O has stalled.

The Seminoles have to get to 400 yards of total offense to pull this off. It didn’t get there against LSU and almost lost late, and it didn’t get there in the losses to Wake Forest and NC State.

Clemson gave up over 400 to Wake Forest in the crazy firefight – and won – but that’s it from a next-level talented bunch allowing just 320 yards per game.

NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Florida State Will Win

Can Jordan Travis pick apart the Clemson secondary?

The Tiger defensive backs get a bad rap because everyone saw the Wake Forest passing game go off against them, but they’ve been solid against everyone else. However, Travis has the ability to get going with the midrange throws, and he’s deadly when he gets into a rhythm.

The Seminoles have to move fast. They can’t give the Clemson defensive front time to be disruptive in the backfield, they’ve got to get their backs on the outside in a hurry where they can rip off yards in chunks like they did against NC State, and they have to keep pressing.

Yeah, DJ Uiagalelei has been good, and the Clemson passing attack has been better, but Florida State – even with a loss to Wake Forest on the slate – is still No. 1 in the ACC in pass defense, the pass rush is good enough, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Clemson is starting to find its swagger.

It might not be at the level it was a few years ago, but it’s grinding its way through, the offense is at least decent – that’s a huge step after 2021 – and the defense is doing the rest.

The secondary will have a few problems against Travis and the FSU passing game, but the linebackers will keep the big runs to a minimum.

The Clemson gameplan will continue. Be consistent, keep on finishing off drives, and control the lines. Florida State will be great in the first quarter, but the steadiness of the Tigers will come through.

Why Clemson Will Win

We’re all having a bad 2020. Florida State – at least in the sports universe – is having a really bad 2020. It’s a program just trying to get through this and hope for 2021 spring football to start everything over again.

The team has hardly quit, but it lost a slew of the key parts coming into the season, there’s only one win over an FBS team, and now it gets a Clemson team looking to get on a roll on the way to the ACC Championship appearance.

The Seminoles are seemingly getting hit with every possible flag, there’s no downfield passing game, and there’s no pass rush whatsoever to bother Trevor Lawrence, who’s back after missing the last few weeks after testing positive for the coronavirus.

Why Florida State Will Win

Okay, Jordan Travis, let’s give this another shot.

Chubba Purdy gave it a go, got hurt, and now he’s done for the season, and James Blackman opted out. Travis might not be doing much for the passing game, but he’s a baller of a runner who took off for 107 yards and two scores in the shocking win over North Carolina.

There’s a nothing-to-lose factor at this point with the Noles, the parts that are still around are relatively young and looking to make their mark going forward, there’s a lot of movement around to try out a few things, and having safety Hamsah Nasirildeen in his second game back after missing most of the season.

The starting 22 should be able to hang around for a bit, especially against a banged up Clemson team that’s not running the ball all that well, but …

CFN Experts Picks, Predictions: Week 12

What’s Going To Happen

Clemson is about to go off.

There was a time not all that long ago when the world stopped for this game between two college football powerhouses and national title contenders. This year, it’s just another game on the ACC slate, but it’s important for Clemson to get its groove back after sitting on the Notre Dame loss for a few weeks and playing poorly against Boston College the week before.

Style points don’t matter for the Tigers – win out, get into the CFP – but it’s November. This is where this program starts to kick it all in, and with Lawrence back – not that DJ Uiagalelei was bad – here we go.
