Since their opening-day blowout loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, the Clemson Tigers have been on a roll with three consecutive straight-up wins and payouts. Last week the Tigers cut down the Stanford Cardinal, new members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Now brings an old and historic betting on College Football rivalry matchup against the Florida State Seminoles. Florida State felt it was cheated out of a College Football Playoff spot last year. This year, the Seminoles are simply putrid. Head coach Mike Norvell should be glad he got a big extension before the year started.

When Clemson’s offense struggled to get points early on, cornerback Avieon Terrell shrugged it off and told them not to worry. To show, Cade Klubnik threw for four touchdowns and ran for another to continue his hot streak. He’s accounted for 16 touchdowns (12 passing, four rushing) in the Tigers’ past three wins.
As a result, the victory was the 173rd for coach Dabo Swinney. He tied Florida State’s late national championship coach Bobby Bowden for most coaching victories with an ACC school. Unlike Clemson’s wins in the past two games, the defense led the way. The Tigers stopped the Cardinal three times inside the Clemson 20. Specifically, there were two interceptions. And the last was when safety R.J. Mickens forced Emmett Mosley V out of bounds on fourth-and-5 at the Clemson 10 with the Tigers up just 20-7. In turn, Clemson’s defense stopped the Cardinal on downs three times despite giving up 361 yards, 236 of that rushing.
