death valley clemson south carolina they've touched the rock and now they're ready to rock against the top team in the acc clemson dominated the 80s five conference crowns in that decade but since florida state became the ninth member of the acc it has been all knowledge ever since they've owned tiger country as well we'll see about that today as clemson the number 15 team in the country gets set for the fifth ranked florida state seminoles they've won five straight over clemson clemson won the toss and deferred they'll kick it off and that's david richardson who's got it teed up from death valley jermaine stringer and levernius kohl's back deep for the knowles and from memorial stadium we're underway nice hit and he's going to bring it from five yards deep stranger and he's got some room on the side the kicker is going to save him from going coast to coast at the chili's starting lineup the biggens up front brandon whittaker long heaven and trey thomas who might be better than the guy they had playing there last year they tell us e.g green and peter orrick the white house piercer is the tight end thad busby at the controls defeaster and abdullah in the backfield with a three wide out set on first down there's the numbers last year against clemson for thad busby's off to a great start again this season has time on the run pump fakes and he'll keep it got about seven that is no slouch in its own right plant and white and bromell up front white 94 tackles last year from that tackle spot dingle abdullah wilson anthony simmons a two-time all-acc performer and some people say an all-american the corners will be tested today trust me allen and ward edwards and fox a lot of experience and it's busby under center with feaster the tailback who gets the call easter heading to the corner and one down by simmons the man i just talked about and already 81 000 plus on their feet for the tiger defense busby under pressure throws incomplete and he got hit as he threw and it's three and out deep for clemson nice kick orange got a back pedal and he watches it go all the way to the end zone up front bundren's an all acc performer halsey 335 gamble roundtree and postel round out the front five horn you just saw back in punt formation he'd walk with the wide outs with paul the tight end brandon stringer comes out to take the first nap priester and witherspoon in the backfield first down tigers from their own 20. [Applause] that is priester got about three and they just plug new ones in there as wadsworth move from tackle to end it might be the best there is in the country at that spot smith johnson and brian on the front four and in the 4-3 range linebackers coward daryl bush didn't play last week he's back and healthy and lamont green and in the secondary somari roll and tay cody on the corners jackson and smith to the safety and there's wadsworth lining up in that track stance already three sacks on the season and here's clemson air clemson with a three wide receiver set up streeter across the middle flags down as it's a first down out to the 35 to offside florida state decline we've been building them to this point and for a game like this first time club on the option pitched got the corner got almost seventh and clemson off to a good start for clemson to keep this florida state defense honest tigers would love this second and short and priester's got the first down across the 45 first down clemson at the 46. their opening drive of the ball game offensively after forcing florida state to a three and out no incomplete as horn broke downfield and again clemson sets up in a spread with four wide receivers for streeter [Applause] brandon has time and deliverers and it's going to be a first down justin watts with a second effort they set up at the seminole 42-yard line again in the shotgun streeter throws over the middle tony horn first down down to the 32-yard line how about this first down at the 32-yard line i think so their first 2-0 start since 88 as well let's look streeter on the option keeps it that's inside the 25 he must go touchdown so much for first game jenners for the quarterback and that man capped it off from 32 yards on the option at 7-0 clemson and then this is an offense that didn't even score a touchdown last week in the win it's amazing lavernia's kohl's is going to bring it out from five yards deep as well hit at the ten broke a tackle flags down he hurdles the man and i think florida state is going to start in a hole they are holding against the knolls feaster the tailback in the seminole eye but it's fuzzy to throw pump fake wants to go deep on the sideline great adjustment made the catch at the 35 it's warwick and he's still on his feet gets pounded at the 43-yard line he got a first down out near the 44-yard line feaster in motion lesbian wants to go out to him in the flat and does and he puts a nice move on but pretty well played by antoine edwards and he came to death valley instead and tommy west said i couldn't be more happy about that second down at eight busby deep ball and it's complete down to the 20 nope we dropped it and we're gonna hope from some human error that's what he's talking about they're gonna get open every once in a while that time a little human error busby run down by simmons this one gonna be fair caught and now horn's gonna clear out of the way himself he made a little bit of a mistake there by not catching it cost his team about five yards has helped spot his team up by seven and they start from their own seven all the time [Applause] florida state defense can run florida state doesn't give up much a yard for carry through two games the usc and maryland streeter in trouble from his own goal line but he got it out incomplete a great final surge here's bush lined up right there that's called the bear defense for this florida state team deep middle horn with a catch oh what a hit but tony horn held on dexter jackson he took a big shot but he held out for a first down at the 29 yard line straight ahead terry witherspoon the fullback and they want to do it evenly from quarter to quarter three wide out group again for streeter a second down and seven random throws incomplete intended for telly horn who would check back in they'd like to punt the ball if they don't get it they show the four wideout spread formation again [Applause] short pass to horn boy tony's going to say hey brandon you know these guys are killing victor he's back deep nice kick feester trying to track it down it bounces at the two-yard line he had to pick it up now can they track feaster down back across the 25 and all the way out to the 28-yard line [Applause] at the tailback spot football clemson's got it howard bartley i don't think busby ever had the handle on the snap trying to beat ranked teams back to back for the first time in a long time last week it was 25th ranked north carolina state today it's number five florida state and they've got a 7-0 lead streeter to the air would have been an acrobatic catch by tony horn bro he needs to get the ball to priester priester with him in the backfield florida state showing blitz they'll come with it trying to go to it's intercepted and it's bush going the other way darrell bush to midfield they try to do what gary said but the all-acc linebacker and an interception return out to the 49 fakes a pitch and he's going to keep it no he throws on the run and he got it there to the 26-yard line peter warwick warwick with a diving catch first down is what it is at the 26-yard line of clemson and the tigers blitz busby running through his life and he does well isn't so noisy second down busby [Music] [Applause] [Music] with about 40 yards in and then sebastian danikowski is the long ball kicker this one's a 34-yard attempt for dramatica and he's got it so the clemson defense holds on third and one forces a field goal dramatically nails it and that's the first points of the ball game for florida states eight times out of nine and he won't let anybody return this [Applause] this kick is returnable horn at the two ellie horn trying to break tackles and does across the 20. tony horn now picks up some blockers and he's all the way to the 35-yard line i may have sent a 22-yard return a 32-yard return off to the 35-yard line four wide outs here and streeter under center and too much time i think the tigers took but he's run the team well in about three here they are in the shotgun again with four wide outs on second and twelve the quick slant incomplete third down to 12. just under three minutes left first quarter high snap streeter can't handle it and the ball still loose kicked around coward in the end zone touchdown florida state that's how quickly it can turn make one mistake against this group it'll cost you six and a happy linebacker sam coward who we just talked about with the touchdown of the extra point by bill grammatica up and good so just that quickly it can turn clemson was up seven nothing florida state went down got a field goal and then on the fumble recovery in the end zone by sam cowan it's 10-7 madukowski didn't get a hold of the first one this time he sends it to the two again the edwards and throne edwards he got out a nice return across the 25 i'm sort of trying to re-establish a little bit of a ground attack here they've got javis austin true freshman in there right now at tailback not priester option to austin oh what a hit or three hits four hits five hits under two minutes first quarter florida state now leading 10-7. and straight ahead with a ground game and they only got about another yard raymond priester's always done well two games ago two years ago against florida state he had a big game last year not quite as productive third of long streeter in the pocket and down he goes first sack of the day gavin laird to punt his first one with 64 yards not quite as deep this time and returnable for peter warwick and he's dangerous but he dropped the ball and down he goes does the quick drop and the quick pass outside got it to the 45 at the end of the first quarter 10-7 florida state leads clemson but you throw from one level to the other coach west says it's a great advantage because they have drainage but also no other team a first down here as florida states moved it downfield to the clemson 46-yard line second man through and it's d feaster florida state has been unable to run so far now in this their third game of the season play action busby in trouble pressured and dragged down it won't be a sack nice match up here eg green against antoine edwards a strong safety let's see if they bring some pressure on busby they try to he rifles it near side and it's caught by warren he's got a first down coaches say he stepped out of bounds back at the 36. i think he did but i think he still has the first down he's playing zone defense to the outside great read i think he was out of bounds with a catch i don't think they gave him the catch i don't know it was off the [Applause] bounces and takes a clemson hot so i said he made the wrong call but it ended up being the right call first out of the 23. still trying to get something going on the ground this time raymond priester got a little bit about four second down and six freeze through the till back in the eye and a whistle at the snap and the dead ball false start on the offense five yards that's right he was a heck of a quarterback bobby was talking about him with us yesterday spread here on second down 11. there's a little shovel pass gary was talking about earlier in the open field out to the 39 first down clemson toss sweep to priester on first down raymond priester's got it out for what looks like another first down as he takes remember the shovel pass the priester watch after he pitches it everybody took their eyes off of it but whoa seymour didn't make his eyes off of you see the right shoulder he seems to be favoring they let out a loud cry and i was next to streeter when he did that we'll see what the results say from the x-rays they take inside though [Music] false start only off he might be 75 but he's coming in to save the team from the shotgun and that's not the way you want to be rushed on your second play in and he dropped the ball florida state's got it larry smith how they covered it an offside call against florida stage giving it right back to clemson second down a yard straight ahead with a full back and he's got the first at the 49 it's terry witherspoon he was worse than james brown was on thursday for texas the week before it he didn't play [Applause] back to the line of scrimmage maybe got a yard a little over nine and a half remaining second quarter 10-7 florida state on the toss to priester and raymond got it into that's what you got to do third down from the shotgun elon wants to swing it out and it tips and caught by freester even though it was tipped and he got back to the line of scrimmage [Music] florida state was kind of playing it for a possible fake punt i think he lays one up there fair catch taken near the 14-yard line [Applause] 39-yard interception return florida state is going to set back in the zone they say all right you can throw it but we don't think you can throw it good enough field tries to get the horn chevron comes in makes the play but watch number 50 takes on two blockers on one leg and makes the stop what a courageous player it's going to take a big time defensive stop here to keep florida state from points and busby dropped the ball covered it himself just over three minutes left in the half busby over the middle eg green got back to the original line of scrimmage but if busby can hear himself think he's a better man than i right now flares at optic feaster to the 19 but well short of the drop bill grammatica hit one from 34. this is from 37. and he missed it attacked with their defense when florida state had the ball they used their front seven and they kept those great receivers off balance with bump coverage so the tigers will work first and 20. first and ten from their own 20. they start the third quarter and the left side it's priester got about three second down is seven elon green [Music] and horn got it out to about the 27. third down at three fletcher would love to open up with a first down here in the opening march for the quarter and they'll get it wow he may not be fast but he's one tough cookie first down just inside the 35 and it's freezer again on a counter if he could have kept his balance he'd had a big gainer but on a second down and eight toss to austin and javis austin only got about a yard and third down and six here for [Applause] high clemson that was almost a disaster again and because of that the timing of the whole play thrown off and as up let's see if they try to put some heat on the putter oh they back away and richardson hit another beauty or a great catch over his shoulder at the seven and here he comes the other way and a fumble clemson's got it hit the 28-yard line to florida state special teams and make a difference green back to throw wanted to go deep comes back to horn and horn down the sideline tony horn a spin touchdown the best cover guy on the team this time this is the tackle troy saunders misses the tackle in the open and tony horn makes a ballet tight run down the sideline to take it into the end zone you are watching some shocking play from clemson matt padgett in for the point after he's [Music] [Applause] [Music] tony horn takes it to the end zone and the tigers by four they had to throw the ball today it's part of the regular offense jermaine stringer at the nine into the middle of the field buried under at the 27th three wide outs for busby there's his numbers on the day from the shotgun looks like maybe clemson was offside busy rose incomplete as the penalties today from the fourth against clemson on the afternoon busby to throw going deep sideline and it's caught inside the third and it's warren he made a great adjustment it was good coverage back there he has a 37-inch vertical a michael jordan type vertical he just goes up over ward on a ball that again was slightly under throw then he comes back and grabs a face pass but that was just wonderful at the clemson 24 yard line [Music] [Applause] they pick up the first down on a quarterback snake straight ahead for busby first down they're backed up to their own 14-yard line feaster in motion out of the backfield busby to the end zone it's knocked down at the 14. seminoles trail by four draw play on the shotgun and it's fisher and ian nail at the 10. what a hit here's a third down and a long five busby complete i don't think it's a first down though no i don't think so either it's going to be a yard short natakowski now he's going to do all the field goal kicking it might be for the rest of the year remember grammatical missed one earlier so here's the big leg the true freshman kind of 22 yarder and that quiets the crowd momentarily but what a great stand by the clemson defense after giving up the big play to warwick they hold bobby bodden seminoles to a field goal got to play miami and florida every year you got to go to clemson north carolina that's a tussle janikowski fueled by his first field goal of the day from the 20 now clemson with a one-point lead just under nine to go third quarter [Applause] bush thinking about a blitz on the option it's priester he needed a block out of the corner and didn't get it he's still florida in a blitz look this time this time it's the first man through on the option third down and two took over for brandon streeter who started the game for clemson because of green's injury takes the toss and donnie goes wadsworth all over it coming up for clemson they just got it away fair catch easter will feel it at the 41 yard line on both sides gucci at the tailback spot right now lesbian first down wants to throw wants to go deep but now comes back to the near side warwick again and again a first down with 6 45 left in the third on first down play action deep ball for warrick he got it and he'll score touchdown how many acrobatic dentures can one guy make in a day 48 yards perfect covered by david evans watch as he turns around no interference and at work just goes over the top of him the ball was put in a spot by thad busby same set of receivers that we told you about and the tight end is there's right there busby and he got it in there to coles good for two penalty markers down the pass interference on the defense decline the points are good fastball right in the strike zone and a two-point conversion is given florida state touchdown league 21. [Music] 32 seconds remaining a two-play drive 59 yards and would really shake up the acc in the country if punching could come from behind now and win this and whoops he stepped out didn't he say touch back thought he stepped out of the end zone he's not quite there yet guys well this group of cats is only seven down from the 20. tigers trail and knocked back for a loss as raymond priester nelon green having a look three wide on offense looks like he's changing things up at the line he'll give it off to priester broke one tackle and got back near the original line of scrimmage but it's four-man rush to florida state green loads to horn first down clemson and tony horn 17-yard pickup on the last one in the first half 11-minute the line of scrimmage for florida state option breester tony bryant this time the other defensive end and he that's what you got to do right now ed altman just wants to get it nealon green's hands and then try to hit somebody and he did and it's play action and elon going long just overshot his intended receiver tony horn and the shovel pass almost intercepted that's a dead ball right there incomplete pass the state pulled off well he hit it a mile in the air again warricks camped under it though look out for him from the 15. [Applause] taken down at the 25 a 10-yard return play fake busby rolls watch the throw and he does reggie herron with hard work and defensive coordinator today they don't get it gooch third down a long one busby that one is intercepted and it's ward off the deflection now it's up to the clemson offensive to get something in gear from the 44 florida state toss priester he had to break a tackle just to barely get back to a one-yard loss threester this time flanking nelon green in the gun everybody up close for florida state here they come green deep sideline for watts and he made a catch i got you man i got you up all over you he's not going to throw it what how could he throw that ball right there and now it is clemson into florida state and red zone at the 19-yard line from the guy over the middle another nice catch nope they're going to say incomplete i thought he caught it the ball just outside the florida state 18-yard line 21-14 seminoles lead three going to the end zone for horn he says he was pushed in route and no flags a far pride difference that was against north carolina state and they couldn't get into the end zone today they're looking to try to tie and horn almost picked off by dexter jackson it's going to be a 36-yard field goal attempts to try to cut into florida state's lead pageant and he's got it 126 left in the third quarter matt clemson gets something out of that interception by devon ward it remains stringer and lavernia's pulls back deepest down a line drive picks up at the 10 by springer cuts back against the grave trying to work his way outside and finally did nice return travis miner in the florida state backfield now remember as dean said feaster checking his ribs in the locker room and gooch has not been effective today busby on first down getting some pressure runs up out of the pocket evade the tackler and somehow he got around they've got eight up close and it's second and five here they come there they come here threw it away that's intentional grounded third and long they'll go zone now busby half roll now sets and goes deep middle got a man out there it's worth and he dropped it that's the easiest catch of the day and he didn't hold it makes the big plays but not the easy ones florida state's got a punt they've got a good one tony horn waits on it at the 15. one tackle tiny horn tony horn to the 30. nice return and a first [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we've played three in death valley everybody's standing end of the third quarter florida state leads 21-17 [Music] he's coming through brett hoover the head trainer clemson will have to wait and see maybe he'll throw a miracle off on saturday priester crushed in the backfield laird to punt high kick warwick waiting on it at the 10. warwick got the corner [Applause] 90 yards touchdown sometimes he can't make the easy plays but boy can he make the big play right there and peter warrick is having a heisman day of himself extra point is up by grammatica and good and that was the fear remember a year ago with a 79-yard punt this time it's a 90-yarder [Music] [Applause] i don't think so almost out of the end zone again he's done everything else first down and now elon green's got to work from down 11 and in some trouble probably a holding call to boot here flags fly in clemson has an improved passing game but it's not to the level to play when they're behind against this type of team again 10 guys up close it looks like both the left tackle and the defense move almost tackle moves you're right first down clemson across the 35. they said they had more cramps last week at home against maryland where the field temperature was around 115 degrees quick slant broken up and a penalty marker that was a pass interference defense penalty at the spot of the foul first down you got to call dave perry monday yeah i know he does from the gun green middle is horn and he's in a head-on collision with dexter jackson all 11 guys are in your picture right there there's nobody back dead ball false start offense clemson again with a four wide-out group aaron they're fair look again they're gonna come quick one over the middle of horn he's got the first down tony horn down 98 yards yep i think they have it they're going to go deep before we know it here first down at the 47. is this the time down the middle to horn again tony horn inside the 20. well this time instead of doing the slant he faked the slant you know why nylon green's in the shotgun is because he can't move gonna move a little bit before he throws this one to the end zone touchdown [Applause] brian wofford in the end zone it's 28-23 watch him run the option elon green having a long look at that florida state front he's calling at the line of scrimmage here's the option there's priester there's two points and maybe a penalty marker in the end zone illegal participation 12 on the defense decline raymond priester he didn't mind whether there was 11 or 12. that's why green had a such time calling the play there were 12 guys out there right now david richardson liked to knock it right into the student section he almost did busby play action wants it all on one play for green incomplete good coverage back there by michael allen second and 10. lesbian got a man out there and it's who else warwick down the sideline warren takes it touchdown 80 yards i'm absolutely dumbfounded i have never seen so much air go out of such a big orange balloon in my life swan edwards or chad speck is going to catch him dramatic is pulled after follows just another dramatic performance by that guy [Music] 249 yards receiving and two touchdowns yeah and that doesn't count a 90-yard td on a punt on top of that he misses it it probably won't be returned [Applause] it is returnable maybe tony horn tony horn and tony horn into the secondary now down the sideline for tony hall florida state by 10. clemson trying to change that right here and again the left tackle dead ball fault start offense exclusively shotgun because nylon green can't move green pressure from the backside throws a dart almost caught and then almost intercepted it's 35-25 florida state tony horns back in there penalty markers down incomplete on the pass and nylon green down i think wadsworth is offside but at the 23. the original honest grooming second down at 10. [Applause] neon green throws outside that one skipped off his hand sam cowart was waiting there
