No. 4 Florida State survived a road scare in Death Valley, 31–24 in overtime over Clemson on Saturday afternoon.
The Seminoles never led in regulation, as it took until the first overtime for Florida State to capture its first lead of the day. The game even getting into overtime was a surprise in and of itself.
Clemson had all the momentum, driving down the field late in regulation, but some questionable play calling put the ball back in Florida State’s court. Tigers offensive coordinator Garrett Riley called a pass play in second down deep in Seminoles’ territory with just over a minute to play, which caused the clock to stop.
