Game Notes and Quotes:

- Clemson had 20 first downs to FSU's 5 on the game, and the Tigers had double the offensive yardage the Seminoles racked up.

- Clemson time of possesion was 17 minutes to FSU's 7.

- FSU's defense and special teams were tremendous in the game. The Noles scooped up a fumble and returned it for a TD (and also picked off 2 Clemson passes) and also sprinted down the field for a kickoff return TD in the 2nd half.

- In the 1st Qtr, FSU RB Kendal Pleasant raced outside for a 41 yd TD run. I had a couple picks that hurt, but I moved the ball very well when I didn't turn it over.

- Clemson scored in early 4th quarter to go up 21-17, then FSU returned the kickoff for a TD to go ahead 24-21. Clemson got the ball back, then drove all the way down and scored the game winning TD with 52 seconds left to win 28-24.
