This isn’t exactly the late October ACC showdown that ‘Nole fans were hoping for. This game doesn’t decide which team goes to the ACC Championship or gets to the College Football Playoff. Instead, Florida State is playing the role of the underdog spoiler. With two conference losses, Florida State is playing for pride. Clemson comes to Doak with a perfect record with a shot to win it all.

Florida State’s defense has improved the last two weeks. Is that because of opponent or because the players and coaches are finally understanding the scheme. Maybe it’s a bit of both. Tonight, we will get to see just how much improvement has really taken place. For the offense, finishing drives is a must against the Tigers. Stalling and missing field goals is a sure way to lose. Florida State needs an excellent game from BOTH sides of the ball if they are going to pull the upset.
