- 1:22Speaker 2: Yeah, he fought through it and this team fights.
- 1:26Speaker 1: This team fights even when even when their fans are quitting on them.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Well, yeah 23 different times during the game.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Well, Clemson came ready and you knew they would.
- 1:38Speaker 1: And still got a lot of good players Right.
- 1:40Speaker 2: They still do they still have a lot of good players?
- 1:42Speaker 2: I mean, I saw that I was reminded by the center putting them that they have and I remember him on defense, yeah, on defense, especially man.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Javier Thomas the linebackers and the defensive backs.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't, you know, it wasn't an accident that they were always around the receivers.
- 1:59Speaker 1: You know, now were they holding.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Oh, there were some egregious calls at the end, but still I mean egregious because you can't, you can't let them play and then you call that four down on one side of the ball and then they don't call it deliberately on four down on the other side, when it was obvious.
- 2:17Speaker 2: I think more obvious, but you know, I'm just glad that didn't decide it.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Yeah that that defense is really good for Clemson.
- 2:24Speaker 2: The defense is really good for Clemson and the defense really stepped up for FSU in the second half.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Yes, they did.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Yes, they did.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I was man, I was, I was prepared to come on here and just unload on Adam Fuller after the first half.
- 2:40Speaker 1: But they made those adjustments.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Man, but play, play, the game was coming from the defense Deloach.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the scoop, the scoop and scoop Off his own sack and score.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a new one right there.
- 2:54Speaker 1: That, that that took all the momentum in the wind out of Clemson's sales and kind of even things out.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Oh man it was.
- 3:03Speaker 2: It did not look good.
- 3:04Speaker 2: It was a they were going in to take.
- 3:08Speaker 1: That's about the only thirty one to seventeen left in your chambers, like if we don't get a turnover and really the guys got to got a house it, we got to tie it on.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Defense Offense was doing nothing.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Yeah, the running game got shut down completely.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty carries for twenty two yards.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Yeah, an awful half.
- 3:26Speaker 1: They need that.
- 3:27Speaker 1: There's something, there's something going on there.
- 3:29Speaker 1: They're just not running the ball the same way they did last season.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Well, they had more plays, but 429 total yards to 311 from Florida State.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's the difference.
- 3:39Speaker 1: They could run the ball now.
- 3:40Speaker 2: We did a day did have more yards per play.
- 3:42Speaker 2: They had 5.5 yards per play.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Clemson had 5.4, but that's another thing.
- 3:47Speaker 1: They were on the, they were on the field the entire.
- 3:49Speaker 2: That's gonna be the blueprint.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Yeah, BC did the same thing keep us off, yeah you don't want to give this offense as many chances, because they're gonna tell you what they really did well on defense.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Pretty much the whole game was just peeing off on a Cade clubding.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Well, club making old old one tree.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what you had to do ship hopefully what the hell was Clemson thinking?
- 4:13Speaker 2: Yeah, after Florida State scores 3124, they come out.
- 4:18Speaker 2: I think it was second down.
- 4:19Speaker 2: I mean one tree hills.
- 4:21Speaker 2: No, there's one of his better runs.
- 4:23Speaker 2: One's a ball for nine plus yards.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Carrying guys gets it third and half a yard and they throw a damn wide receiver screen and loses a yard.
- 4:32Speaker 1: That's a.
- 4:32Speaker 1: You had two chances to make the easy call there if you were dabbler, which is just run the ball, hand them the ball.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Well, that was the first time they had been behind.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they finally had to put pressure on them.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Now there was the defense, gave FSU chances.
- 4:46Speaker 2: They had the ball with a tie score about three times in the second half.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Yeah, the offense, florida States offense.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Just just, you gotta get back to the defense, clemson, yeah it Clemson's the O and two in the ACC.
- 5:01Speaker 2: But they could have easily won both their games, you know, but they did it.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they.
- 5:07Speaker 1: They shot themselves in the foot.
- 5:09Speaker 1: A lot more against Duke, right, you know they came to play today and Know the turnover battle.
- 5:16Speaker 2: There was only one turnover and it was on that one play I think that was the difference of the game was the big play that FSU's defense made.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 5:25Speaker 1: That, and the fact that that Florida State Actually had success throwing the ball downfield.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Yep, now, they didn't have a ton of it, you know, but like I said, you only got to make one good throw and that's what he did on that one that set the record.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Man, it was a great throw and he just kept going to Keon and you, yeah, yeah and and, as of note you know, Nate Wiggins went out the series before that ended regulation.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Yep and that was the guy that had been locking up on Coleman all game.
- 5:55Speaker 1: So you know they had to put a backup in there and it's like a true sophomore or something, and that's and then you get the ball in that area and overtime I was glad when FSU got the ball first I was like, finally, if we're, we need to put a lead on yeah, and let them see what they can do and it may with concerning man is like they seem to start hitting this, this thing, this trend of stalling out at midfield, right kind of there and deep you know there's a lot on it 38, yeah, there's a lot, man, I mean, this is one that you're not gonna apologize for if you know, fsu fan I mean it's been too long.
- 6:30Speaker 1: You just went up to Clemson.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You went up to a great environment again again, again.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Clemson brings a great environment.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a noon game.
- 6:39Speaker 1: It's a noon game and it was just rockin man, it doesn't matter.
- 6:43Speaker 2: They're gonna bring it and you knew they will, and they bring it every time for FSU and but we, we essentially just went up there and.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Took their best shot took them, took their best shot and took them out.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Well, they, you know, you could say, and I know, that I know if you're a Clemson fan, you watch that game.
- 6:58Speaker 2: You think that you should have won.
- 7:00Speaker 2: You probably outplayed it.
- 7:01Speaker 2: But you look at the numbers for 29, 20 yards of 311, passing yards 283, 289 for FSU, rushing yards 146 to 22.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:16Speaker 2: First downs 25 for Clemson, 16 for Florida State, 413 on third down for FSU to six of 14 for Clemson.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Yeah 79 plays for Clemson to 57 yeah, okay.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Well, you know, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna turn Clemson's little but you know, the turnovers bigger than yeah nullifies that right to turn over it the red zone defense.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, timely, just not quitting.
- 7:47Speaker 1: I can see that Clemson played more consistently throughout the game.
- 7:50Speaker 1: They looked better, longer it but but you know.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Florida.
- 7:54Speaker 1: State made more plays right.
- 7:56Speaker 1: You know, if their touchdown drives were what two or three plays and right, you know.
- 8:03Speaker 1: So I'm fine if they want to it's fine, I get it.
- 8:06Speaker 2: It's frustrating it.
- 8:07Speaker 2: You know to have o and to like that this season, but I mean that's yeah been there before.
- 8:15Speaker 1: And Florida State is clearly.
- 8:16Speaker 1: You know that they have not played the same you not play well in this game.
- 8:22Speaker 1: They haven't played the same credit to Dick Clemson though.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Yeah, it's credit to Clemson, but they, they also, you know they look.
- 8:28Speaker 1: A lot more like they did against Boston College for much of this game than, say, the second half of LSU right.
- 8:35Speaker 1: So I think you kind of wondering like where did that team go?
- 8:39Speaker 1: You know like when's?
- 8:39Speaker 1: it gonna come back kind of make that.
- 8:41Speaker 1: And you figured it would have been this game.
- 8:42Speaker 1: You know big, big game, but again it's a tough team.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I would argue they probably have a better.
- 8:48Speaker 1: That defense we faced was better than LSU's.
- 8:51Speaker 1: We faced an opening.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably the best defense You're definitely gonna face without question in the secondary in terms of, you know, experience of playing together communication.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Now, wiggins, being hurt is gonna be big for them, right.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Well, that's really good.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Yep, and that's not really worried about that anymore.
- 9:10Speaker 2: But FSU finally gets the win over Clemson, puts him in the driver's seat in the conference.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Now Tell you what, bye week.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Yeah, it's, it's, wow, for no.
- 9:23Speaker 1: This is where you sitting about.
- 9:25Speaker 1: As good as you could have hoped for, no major massive injuries.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Well, some to these.
- 9:31Speaker 1: You know dents still being out, as big, obviously, but you know, first, first third of the season is over with and you're still unbeaten so the kicker they brought him on From New York, he was in grad school.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a man.
- 9:47Speaker 1: We're sitting here.
- 9:48Speaker 1: It's setting up to be a really was a dabbled Disney kind of yeah, and he booted it.
- 9:54Speaker 2: It's a wide, wide left man.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Yeah, and they got.
- 9:58Speaker 1: They got conservative, you know.
- 10:00Speaker 1: They shut it down and wanted to just kind of steamroll it.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I get why they did that.
- 10:04Speaker 1: I Think it was yeah, we'll get.
- 10:07Speaker 1: I mean, we could get in all.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll look at it again, but we there was a couple plays in particular were on that overtime.
- 10:13Speaker 2: They're down definitely.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I mean you.
- 10:15Speaker 2: You threw the ball two times in a row when you had half a yard a game, when you have one trio.
- 10:21Speaker 2: That's I don't that's an excuseable.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Yeah that's an excuse with that, but thank you as well.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Yeah, for me I wonder, is that Garrett Riley's influence?
- 10:32Speaker 1: Or was that dabbler, you know?
- 10:33Speaker 1: Because that's that's something that you've seen Clemson's offense do all the time, that little wide receiver screen but calling it at that moment hey, what are you doing, man?
- 10:43Speaker 1: You, I Don't know, but hey, thank you very much for that, whoever, yes.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Yes, and, but just a big.
- 10:51Speaker 2: What a big win for Florida State.
- 10:53Speaker 2: What a big time huge.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Huge, some clutch defensive calls bringing pressure in the second half.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine that pressure on a guy that can get rattled.
- 11:05Speaker 2: There was some questionable calls I in particular on the four downs at the end of the game.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought they got.
- 11:14Speaker 1: They got tiki-taki With with the.
- 11:17Speaker 1: The pass interference on floor is they didn't really Do it on the other side, man Clemson's and through that flag, that late flag, yeah that was, that was from across, from across the field.
- 11:28Speaker 2: It was not, I didn't like that one.
- 11:30Speaker 2: I Mean it was a.
- 11:32Speaker 2: That was a well-timed blitz to by the Defender and yeah, he was throwing club name, was throwing that ball away.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Yeah, the receiver wasn't even looking.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Yeah, he was not.
- 11:44Speaker 2: He was not even looking through it early that that should not have been thrown.
- 11:48Speaker 2: And then there was obvious illegal contact.
- 11:51Speaker 2: A hold on Coleman on his break on that.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Third on the four down yeah, it's, but.
- 11:57Speaker 1: You just didn't throw it.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Then you know, like that that was really pissing me off and I, but when you have games like that, it's gonna happen.
- 12:05Speaker 2: I.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I mean you know you're in Clemson.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:09Speaker 1: That's a place that I don't care.
- 12:11Speaker 1: What anybody says can definitely influence an officiating crew.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Then when you have the coach in your ear, everything, every time he's like the Intimidating to the to the opposing players.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Man like yeah it gets in everybody's head right.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying.
- 12:28Speaker 2: You took this is a.
- 12:29Speaker 2: You withstand that kind of punch.
- 12:31Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that need to be cleaned up.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but that's, but you know, come out of a game like this that You'd be proud, like Seminole fans watching this game.
- 12:42Speaker 2: You can't think.

- 13:41Speaker 2: I mean you're going in, they have the ball, they're driving, they're starting to run the ball on you.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's, it's all or nothing.
- 13:50Speaker 2: At that point, you know, if you don't get home or if he's like you, step up with just a upper cut to the jaw Like textbook, knocked out the face like the jaw piece spit everywhere.
- 14:04Speaker 2: You picked up the ball, got the sack and then got a nice tip from the from a Fiske, try to pick it up.

- 15:47Speaker 2: It's now the target's on your back.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Yeah, you're in the driver's seat.
- 15:50Speaker 2: What you're in the driver's seat is a different approach.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna be anointing you.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Good thing is that you can pat yourself on the back for a day or two and then right you know start to realize that there's still a lot of work to do.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah especially on offense man.
- 16:08Speaker 1: I didn't we'd be there with that, but it's yeah.
- 16:11Speaker 1: I guess some of those kinks worked out.
- 16:14Speaker 2: You know, lucky that they didn't.
- 16:16Speaker 2: I wanted the fender wasn't looking and Jordan Travis threw that ball right to him.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, early was that first pass.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one early in the game.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Yeah but.
- 16:26Speaker 2: But what a gutsy effort though by him.
- 16:29Speaker 2: I mean he's a fighter, he, so he looks hurt.
- 16:32Speaker 2: He's definitely.
- 16:34Speaker 2: There was a couple plays where he could have easily had ran for some positive shots.
- 16:37Speaker 2: But when he had to, and that he delivered a perfect ball of Coleman.
- 16:45Speaker 1: We talked about his legacy.
- 16:46Speaker 1: We talked about that further.
- 16:48Speaker 1: That's right, that's it.
- 16:50Speaker 2: It was right there and it couldn't be.
- 16:52Speaker 2: It couldn't have ended better.
- 16:54Speaker 2: You know, you finally beat the team that you should have beat and you broke the record To me the all-time leading touchdowns older Seminole history alone 82 touchdowns on a play in overtime to break a streak Seven straight losses to a team that has dominated the conference.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much put him in on the back burner.
- 17:19Speaker 1: In terms of the conference race this year.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Clemson's got a long way to go.
- 17:25Speaker 2: And that's what I remember when I think of Jordan Travis.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Now, yeah, he's definitely got that row.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Oh, you know, he's got the rest of the season.
- 17:33Speaker 1: He can do a lot of other special stuff, yeah, but I came away with it, man.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Came with a gutted it out team, bought.
- 17:40Speaker 2: They got a big turn over.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been said, they lose the turnover battle.
- 17:48Speaker 2: They lose.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Yeah, and about that mid, that, mid eight.
- 17:51Speaker 2: He's gonna be upset about this one middle eight man.
- 17:53Speaker 1: We went seven to seven with him, yeah that was true, that they've dominated.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Yeah, came back and got that touchdown yeah that really was used when they went up 17 to 7.
- 18:02Speaker 2: They would get that answer.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:05Speaker 2: So good to see.
- 18:06Speaker 2: We're gonna look at it.
- 18:07Speaker 2: We'll talk all about it.
- 18:08Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a few days off and we'll talk to you next week right here on the North Florida Sports Network.
