The buzz around No. 4 Clemson centers largely on a great defense that’s in the top 25 nationally in rushing, yards per play and scoring. But the key to Florida State’s upset chances are on the other side of the ball.
The Tigers have scored at least 30 points in all six games — only the third time in program history Clemson has started a season like that. Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has a 14-to-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio and is playing up to his immense potential.
That means FSU’s defense is going to have to rebound from last week’s second-half issues by rattling Uiagalelei. If Jared Verse and the Seminoles’ front can force him into looking as shaky as he did last year, FSU will have a shot at earning a marquee win after back-to-back disappointments.
