First Quarter


The opening quarter set the tone for the game as Clemson capitalized on their home advantage, scoring 8 points while keeping Florida State scoreless. The Seminoles' defense struggled to contain the Tigers' offensive plays, leading to an early deficit.


Second Quarter


In response, Florida State managed to put points on the board with a touchdown pass from Tommy Castellanos. However, Clemson's offense continued their momentum by adding another 10 points before halftime. Despite efforts from players like Deante McCray and Mandrell Desir on defense, who contributed tackles for loss and sacks respectively, it was not enough to halt Clemson's advances.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw both defenses tighten up significantly. While neither team managed a touchdown during this period, Clemson extended their lead with a field goal. The Noles' offense found it difficult to break through due to consistent pressure from the Tigers’ defensive line.


Fourth Quarter


In the final quarter of play, both teams added field goals but failed to make significant strides offensively. Jake Weinberg successfully converted one of his two field goal attempts for Florida State Seminoles post-match stats show that despite some individual performances like Mac Chiumento’s punting average of over 42 yards per attempt and Duce Robinson’s receiving yards totaling 124 across nine receptions – these efforts were overshadowed by turnovers and penalties that plagued their overall performance.
