Clemson vs. Florida State Full Game | 2018 ACC Football

are fully aware of the multiple challenges this Clemson team presents but they also see this game as a tremendous opportunity a chance to prove to everyone what they believe in that locker room that they have gotten better every week an hour perhaps position to play their best football of the year against it but the best opponent that they face pet coach really Tiger told his team to seize the opportunities if you don't ask for permission for greatness you go out there and you take it Bob his office is going to be out there against maybe the single best position group in college football to start the game as Clemson won the toss as you would expect that defensive line out there against the andre francois to begin [Applause] for Florida State the field position because of the penalty goes from bad to worse so backed up against your own endzone it's going to be DeAndre Francois looking at this group yeah that's not fun as a quarterback let me tell you it's also a lot of fun week number nine to try to figure out what more you could say and that's why the Power Rangers came out because to me that's pretty implemented of this group of who they are the fun they love to have but everything is together and that's a nightmare for any quarterback in DeAndre especially with the group upfront that he's got that his struggle to block this season with cam akers on first down Akers had his best game of the season a two touchdown game 98 yards last week in the win over Wake Forest and not see tre Lamar involved in the action 1st 2nd 3rd leading tacklers are all at the second level and that too a testament to the big man up front the key 57 to keep 34 and keep number 11 clean all afternoon with the foot care know we're together up inside the 10 back to the original line of scrimmage sets up third down at two one two three four five six seven seven Tigers flying to the football they know who they are they know exactly the strengths of this group maybe they get a pretty good feel the Florida State's gonna want to play this game on the perimeter and how do you defeat that you do it by incredible effort and hustle and pursuit which you saw on your screen on second down same formation flip to the far side of the field Clemson shows blitz rushed only three Francois incomplete behind Murray so it's a three enough to start for FSU that's about as bad a start as you can have with your Willie tagger number one you return the kick to the 15 take a knee give yourself any opportunity against against this group number two and you try to throw an easy game of pitching catch us out there to the perimeter and the first one goes for Zippo and this third one falls incomplete mess of three now [Applause] in Lincoln Tyler changed field position from the back of his own endzone [Applause] pretty good kick to midfield forcing a fair catch right at the 50 yard line for Amari Rogers when you have a true freshman quarterback that has this much talent it's apparent to everyone as soon as he shows up and it was apparent to a few quarterbacks that were on the roster that decided to transfer as soon as Trevor Lawrence shined in the spring game Arthur Johnson ended up at Northwestern the first four games he shared time with Kelly Bryant but then it became obvious to all involved that Trevor Lawrence was the clear-cut most talented quarterback for Clemson Kelly Brian's gone so a handful of quarterbacks have left this Brunson program taking a back seat to the true freshman the CTN in a part of the Knowles defense moving the pylon first down for a gain of four a chance to call the Clemson spring game Chris Fowler and I were up there and you heard it there it took you about 60 seconds on campus and everybody says just different I'm he's just different in every way he's six six he's got a rocket on him he's got a humility and the boys that are normal for freshman he's a different cap my action and a laser beam right at the first down marker and under renfro's got it to the 39 yard line we're gonna document this throughout and he saw a couple little quick screens and quick passage from be Andre Francois who's got a good arm this kid he's got an arm that's second to none it's he into him and all of college football and you see how fast that ball gets from point A to point B many times these names aren't catching it [Applause] an awesome college football the last two three years but I can't tell you the number of games you start to watch and he's getting knocked over by the football I mean he runs he's option right especially on third and he turns around and he's like a poor capture that's just trying to get his body in front of these missiles that are often pushing him ahead to the first down marker [Applause] play-action fake taking a shift towards T Higgins incomplete that is the one area you're going to see Trevor get better that's the one area where to uh in year number two is better than he is down charted every one of his shows last week just 120 plus anything underneath that it is on the shoulder pad it is as those guys come on a break but that deep ball that's area that you're going to see Trevor progress in his career more opportunity for the speedsters down the field a big early third down for this Florida State defense as Clemson began at midfield FSU shows blitz I'll pull it up the same way up over the head of Justin Ross that's a great hold for the Florida State defense when you give that offense field position right at the 50-yard line of course a pocket that's a nice job on the back end to Florida State defensively just getting into the lane okay is phenomenal as Trevor is physically these are many new experiences and playing in this place where the program has not had a ton of success a nice job they're just getting in his vision any quarterback and especially a young one wants a clean lead to throw through on that skinny post just enough color forced him through high and wide [Applause] Florida State calls a timeout here is what clemson is trying to accomplish today the first time to win back-to-back games at Doak Campbell Stadium they've never been able to do that before they have a chance after the Florida State timeout to pin the Noles deep papa shoes up rock your Allison Williams here at Tallahassee the spires will try kick it inside the ten-yard line end over end kick in hands-on a big break for Florida State so the Andre Francois will have the football Brock out at his own 25 yard it's tougher kid is you're gonna find this position florence has got one of the most gifted arms just the mental and physical toughness at the andre Francois is what resonates he has been hit so often in his careers Florida State in a time this year is this as the first wake you congratulations to the Seminoles the first week they started to save nearly November that DeAndre do not question his toughness gonna step up in the pocket got to protect the football with his durability off the charts pardon me starting at the 20 I'll try to give this drive on the ground with a counter the candidate Bruce he picks up two extra Laurence is there to make the stop that's what's so good about this group you got guys that can rush off the edge you got the heavyweight right in the middle that is so hard to move to such a dominant force who all decided to come back to school for one more run quarterback draw picks up three more it will be third down and five again the ston name five Dexter Lawrence smile wants to play with tempo third down and five to the side the first down marker that is past the sticks Akers makes the reception picks up seven you need any tempo coach gonna tell you the same thing anyway you get a goal is to see those chains moving to clear down conversion quit game again to be acres again okay [Applause] brent is going to provide the juice he always does he certainly does yes I think you'd still like to seventh year at Clemson is the defensive coordinator and his get back coach has to be a physical job is made by Marie that's the first half the key there is what you said stepping up you know is lateral and that rush comes off his right side and you're going to see it all afternoon when the entree is gone but they're really trying to instruct him is to either step or step up into that pocket and make plays without really electric arm he has snack goes over the head of Francois all the way back inside the 20-yard line talk about short-circuiting a tribe that had some promise Murray covers it up yes of 23 and flags down after the play was over and that was gonna be a run play in the center alligator Lee is trying to get to that block if he knows bucking the Dexter Lawrence's he's got to get right on those guys because if [Applause] the worse that's gonna put you back at the 10-yard line in Florida States or Everly just airmail is a snap and you said there was really no change look he's still trying to figure out some of that numbers game huh what may have been Tokyo and instead it was his right by him and in negative play maybe worse Makia makers he just loses his cool in the confrontation with Kavon wallace are your wall fell offensive coordinator to Florida State on the sheet does it address second down in 43 that's what we turn to the receiver coach so you [Applause] and pretend you are running with your Fez Patrick and he'll pick up about three so now it's just buy some real estate for your punk group and don't turn it over deep in your own at me this is pretty cool but watch cam akers the running back not cool to get a penalty and no coach is gonna like it but came on Wallace talked a little noise to DeAndre who comes masks back get makers former quarterback himself I like that come and talk noise to my quarterback and we always think it's the big guys you got to protect the quarterback that's not the case when a batch receivers can absolutely do the same [Applause] that goes back more room for the punk group out to the 25-yard line as Gabe NABERS makes it 12 the Arquette now we'll see what type of field position Clemson ends up with as Amari Rogers is that his own 35-yard line to receive this punt we'll take it right there down right there with coverage on special teams garbage thing to help rebuild their home and it is amazing to see them out here working with this and encouragement that she will be okay [Applause] while Michael devastated the Panhandle and part of the Gulf Coast to help victims of hurricane Michael please go to Red Cross org slash ESPN and you can be a part a lot of folks like generis Robinson and his family who lost everything [Applause] that's a fast start [Applause] that's right tackle increment on the fall start the early movement how many times Bob in our career doing this together we heard coaches say the players are so much more resilient as we are men are so resilient they're the ones that are just incredible leaders in mind they're urging your son on to go out there and do what you love to do and what a force he has been [Applause] to the sound on door Mary Rogers five yards it'll be third down and long blitz getting again right into the vision hard at times for a guy that's six foot six and you don't think you can impact that vision but you can you can get in those rains and all different variety they worth noting no starving Center possibility is out compression cysts so they've got the right boat sliding over to Center as you please throw away Marvin Wilson in the face of Trevor Lawrence he survives there was some pressure and if you're gonna pressure you gonna play me in behind it look at it look at the window of opportunity you tell me where are you going here and I love that I love that look to say you know what I know you're super gifted and you were 52 and 2 as a starter the number to recruit in America but we got to trust our guys and that pressure up front a big part of it but that name the main coverage if they can do that this afternoon there's horses up front between burns are clear to get it done [Applause] shanked puck in a big great field position for Florida State spires off the side of his book where will they mark it out [Applause] the official on the near side of the field you can see him making his way through everyone in the Florida State bench any Clemson territory at the Tigers 49 yard line a 14 yard putt Allison Williams great field position for Florida State [Applause] good pass from DeAndre Francois and a missed opportunity now Alison but I have the opportunity here to be with garnet and gold it's a tradition that goes back 20 years since 1998 they're members of the Baptist collegiate ministry I'm going to talk to them and try to avoid the glitter here so I'm not wearing this the rest of the game like they are one question Bowl what takes longer to get the glitter on or to get it all off takes longer to get it off he's about an hour and 20 off what's the trick to getting this so we go back behind a shed and we just hose off use some dish soap and scrub it as much as we can after a game do still show remnants of the goal there forever [Music] yeah sometimes people will like call it out and be like oh hey he likes like say your name but sometimes they have no idea he'd known it for years so it's pretty funny what's the best part I just hear it all the team is b-bar the game day every week they're famous guys people were lined up for photographs before the game well thanks one uses the goal line third nice Oh Florida State does nothing with the field position they're gonna have to punch it away and see if they can pick from Cindy if you see the press you just can't live in 39 and that first down drop it absolutely well as you see just the whole crew and including even secondary members getting involved in the Blitz Tanner Muse I love it the shoulder pad right into the belly of Francois there but that drop by Murray on first down those are the opportunities you only get so many good pitches to hit against this defense and I'm just swing a miss call that a fumble although it looked like only cost Florida State about five yards and Logan Tyler forces a fair catch inside the 20-yard line yard but tonight on ABC a big 12 battle it's number six Texas in Stillwater to take on Oklahoma State eight Eastern five Pacific here on ABC live on the ESPN app so you can watch anywhere is Texas worth their national ranking as far as your concern here I think this has a lot to do with beating Houma is so many Wake teams in the top 20 like this Clemson team going out the world in conference dangerous things happen you see it every year [Applause] first down x8 diving catch for a gain of four refers a guy you're gonna see you get an opportunity at the next level just love that guy the turbo Laurence is the most skill renfro's going to lose every weigh-in for tea time but he's gonna hand every chance he gets in one-on-one situations laughs primitive driven back [Applause] in the middle of the pile up excellent job the big guys up front before state now these first two series they had a little bit of pride that's a real big fella right there but they've got a little bit of pride on their side when they're going up against what they are you know the other defense against nothing but talked about all the time you see the big first with Cooper but stay in square a chance in these third and five bus situations to him with the coverage facemask to face coverage Flitz clicks made for a first down by t higgins out to the 35 picked up 13 renfro's a guy that is a resident sports were lots of options but on the perimeter their boundary receiver is Higgins and they've had some good ones at Clinton they just keep going him up the Mike Williams was a top ten pick this is where he profiles to in a few years [Applause] thirty-six conversion [Applause] shoulder [Applause] good coverage from kyle myers just watch Clemson through the years they just continue to put the same kind of body type the same athleticism into these positions and I do Mike Williams grew and he was bigger and little bit stronger but it's the same thought you get those one-on-one situations into the short side of the field that slant Browns its baby box those droughts [Applause] right to the Courtyard line and so tapping and making the reception is Amari Rogers it'll be 35 and if your corner today and you're thinking while this guys getting out of the pocket a little bit of separation he's certainly not going to be able to throw it and close the air yards I guess he is own strength early in college career to Feaster today's report you've seen already on the previous third down so if we get our linemen out in front of this screen then you could have some success but you don't fool the defensive linemen who've been this afternoon a nice job by Brooks who beats the blockers out front simply nowhere to go for saf defensively showed up we saw this against my enemy a couple weeks ago that forces the puck I'm gonna take a pass in traffic Thomas shoes at Brock York Nelson Williams Tallahassee we're so far the defense for Florida State Brock has been the story because Clemson has had its horrific field position they have not been able to get inside the Florida State 39 yard lot feels a little bit like conference play doesn't it in the foreign state premium boot that his uber talented whose defensive guys are sick and tired of hearing about this number two team in the country and a rising the cage like these guys are swap jump ball send it for Murray that's incomplete once again is pressure right in the face get used to it if you're deandre frames while you laid your head down to bed last night and you repeat it to yourself I'm gonna get hit and it's okay I'm gonna get hit and it's okay I'm gonna get hit it's okay because you are and it's going to come from everywhere in that time Christian Wilkins just absolutely embarrass his mind Arnold the right guard and this is a group up front that is troubled and has been troubled all season to find consistency did that work for rocky back in the day never but I still find myself doing at a time second time attack that's very emotional and demand at the top side of your screen instead it's Marie on the bubble screen fights his way forward for a few yards bring up third down and six but it's the diversification of this defensive line for funds it is just so unique in there you're gonna lose them all they got some young guns and they're gonna grow up and get better but when you've got the runt stuffer and you've got Wilkins and Lawrence inside along with the pass rush outside there's just not one part of the group that you can contain and feel good about Francois on the slant right through the hands of Keith Gavin that's the second good it has many series for the entree Francois where his wide receivers did not think the play for he can't have it you just you just cannot afford that not when you're trying to block those guys all the right way and the first down play action pass was a huge one because it nearly puts you in field goal range on the previous drive in that time a third down to get your tempo going beautifully thrown by the entree just right through the hand together - Logan Tyler driving Amari Rogers with a fair catch all the way back to his own 31 yard weekend monday night football it's Tom Brady the Patriots in Buffalo to take on the bills 8:15 Eastern 5:15 Pacific on ESPN simulcast on espn2 and Spanish available on the ESPN app so you can watch anywhere our coverage will begin the pun day night countdown at 6:00 it's a matchup mr. Frady his feast sit upon those guys Tom Brady or you mentioned John Elway earlier watch these young females his kid to play fifty four high school games one consecutively we just look at a guy at six foot six that can just spin it like few others except five Clemson came into this game without their center Justin falcinelli and now they're without their right guard Shawn fuller he remains in the locker room he had some sort of like a soft cast some extra support on that right hand they were on it further so right now two backups on the line for Clemson cause today we encounter 4:43 starts in there see how that impacts the rest of this game play action rate of the scene in stride as Ross the true freshman waiting for a blocker and getting tracked down inside the Florida State 25-yard love house a beautiful little throw a run pass option there you run on first down you suck up the linebackers and safeties it's gotta go right over the head right over the head to the safety Samuels there that can't be one of those rocket shots it's got to be over the head but enough velocity the cancer ruin excuse me it was Westbrook the safety two tried to get in that Lane but he couldn't Justin Ross picks up 41 bleh clock was winding down and check that the conceive in America and outscored their apartments collectively in the first quarter this season coming into today schools but get the imposition for starting at the second quarter yes down the sideline 14 Higgins and that might have been a throwaway as much as it was a shock for Higgins al Myers they're in coverage again yeah there's no question that we've all wanted to go to the field on a little bubble screen to the running back get people out front but we've seen this on a few occasions Trevor has to these seminal defenders first to bed whether it's the D line whether it's the linebackers getting out in front of some of these plays make a little more difficult on the freshman well protected that but battered in the air and it falls incomplete frederik chose gets a pass defense stat the line it's third down and ten and you're not going to get home then in front of the basketball maybe your forearm and that will leave a mark tomorrow I guarantee it is that theme something something about 60 miles an hour the Jones at Christmas and Burns of all the difference makers on this front for on the first quarter Rick Jones the nephew of Marvin here at Florida State third down rush Lawrence floating one down the side love jump across and it's incomplete by Sunday Samuel that's big-time recruit a big-time recruit to guys that as good as anybody in America last year and that is at this beautiful coverage there on the guy in Ross that is showing us before he can go up again at this one high school who's the number one recruit out of the state of Alabama not bad in the spring either [Applause] the enforce that incompletion witness people attacked officially from 40 no good after the field goal attempt and did you go go down and is that the [Applause] that's Jonathan Vickers and a mistake you cannot afford if you Florida State that's a turnover and won't show up on the statute as a turnover but that's turnover and that's obvious as it gets you have to get out of that kickers opportunity to swing is lame my leg seems coach that's 2k she's got yelled at earlier for burn a timeout on a punt is much worse double numbers that is Asante Samuel so right after Asante Samuel got the pass defense in the end zone the true freshman makes the unmei Keable mistake and it's a first down of the Red Sox the bombing to the fear of he be the one [Applause] Stephanie [Applause] that dragon the ten yard line beat him a couple Adonis Thomas was able to get a hold of the Jersey attract the CTF team those names be the world but smaller a Bertha what et is felt all season long [Applause] guys came to party those credits some of them try to get him to Clemson so you don't have any time and hesitate you may have against Wake Forest but not against this crew it has got to be explosive and workin south protecting whimsy yards per carry [Applause] Malone's low throw scooped up the seven yard line third down and four mr. Watson have pretty famous [Music] some success in the past hit a pic play in this so it seems to get around here [Applause] most of five he wants it to Higgins now to the top of the field in the end so that jump ball is their 40 Higgins and he boxes out the defender then he's got a seven-yard touchdown and the true freshman knows he cost his team of score you we have so many opportunities offensively and defensively in drop passes had killed the Seminoles offensively and then defensively when you get off the fields well you're just gonna have some of these matchups and AJ Westbrook is doing all he can not a perfectly thrown ball with enough to allow Higgins to extend those long arms those monster hands and puts seven on the board for Clemson turn freshman kicker Pete after sneaks it inside the right upright through Clemson on the strength of the Samuel penalty scores first that's a Wake Forest team that got trumped last week by Florida State 38:17 after they had at one point a 10 nothing lead and 11 consecutive possessions that were scoreless here at Doak Campbell and now they're getting beat up by Louisville and I got to work for Lamar Jackson first intent for Florida State look at it bounce back Akers powers his way a Czech powers his way for four yards out to the 29 you got to come into something that you're not gonna find explosive plays this run game struggled was a little better it gets way for us but nowhere near where it's gonna have to be in the years to come for Willie you've got to keep that group honest by at least committing to some of that run maybe third down there's a flag thrown on the far side of the field none of the three receivers to the field not one of them got himself on the line of scrimmage and these are things that drive Willie nuts he told us yesterday it is many of these coaches do but especially head coaches the call plays execute and then the things you can control ultimately there's a pitch in cash there's a slant route or an over about that you catch a 10 out of 10 in practice you then got to do it when the lights go on bad news for Florida State they lose the five yards the big news they get the so it's second down and no deep safeties for Clemson there was a strike marker Temari Ontario as we've seen France won't take a few legs through that would be a part of the game and the thing that I love about him more than feeds off that physicality he told us as much yesterday pump-fake here pup thanks again [Applause] well if you're going to play it play against this one some defense with any kind of enthusiasm you better leave on physicality because Brock has you said he will get hit today time and time again and those shots down the field in that first quarter now Willie said we got win this game on the perimeter and that's fine and they've tried to throw the quick screens to no avail I think eventually here you've just got to say we've got to take five or seven and we've got to throw the ball push it down the field that is the one area on the perimeter that they felt like they had an opportunity in a matchup chance ten minutes or so you could see some shots down the field [Applause] we saw this a couple times last week to these Florida State receivers are just down the field there's a little gray area that Brent Venables is trying to figure out with this offense to a sort of young Seminoles and the up freshmen their issues out there on field blocking and not even looking for the ball and the crowd reacts thinkin it's pass interference [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Francois kayvon Wallace dropped him see the safeties and you are expecting a pressure look as you said they bring six what usually comes with pressure that case they play zone to the fetal they play cloud coverage in DeAndre just assumes with that pressure point got man-to-man coverage and does not see the zone covers in the safety in Avon it should have that interception Lag thrown before the punch net any coordinator worth is worth or QB coach tells you as a quarterback scan the secondary first okay they will tell you pressure packages coverages more than anything else but then post snap you got to see it as well in that time he did not Inventables shows a lot at you he is a fun one he's got an immense amount of talent to work with and such a variety of skill sets the brent does such a terrific job coordinated Flagg picked up start again and once again the heat will be on Logan Tyler the punter see if he can change field position inside his own 15-yard line breaks the first tackle [Applause] at the Clemson 42 yard line aliens really good field position again for Clemson may have dominated field position here in the first half and they've got to set a nothing lead Florence keeps it let's back down the side block underthrown and he could intended for Tavian Feaster on the wheel round it's a couple different times now that's the one thing that the fastball is absolutely there in forever I think sometimes when you throw the football so hard and he has tremendous touch he's got every gift that you want but it is those throws down the field of just really still ripping it and you can still whip it down the field with touch it's the biggest step of his game to grow and choice [Applause] good job fall Cinelli in follows battling injury but these guys can feel it Cooper can feel it the big freshman you saw Frederick Jones with the big play we see Marvin Wilson hit Trevor Lawrence it's doing their part special teams offense number 99 right in the middle of your picture Brian burns 23 career sex those three it is a kicks for a first down T Higgins got his arms under the football at the Florida State 45 to pick up 11 pile those arms and those hands have been son else today touchdown reception sees the fastball low in the way and yeah I think he does and maybe just as importantly it's his elbows and forearms that he's trying to squeeze that football to go quickly [Applause] another rifle shot to the sideline and this time red Fred fifteen schools a new place to call home it's the ACC Network and it's on the way in August 2019 I mentioned burns earlier this game four and a half tackles for loss but the sacks but the forced fumbles a year ago he played such a force and giving those job to left tackle against him today the secondary for the first time it looks to be good enough for a first down right at the line to game and they'll say without measurement it is a Clemson first half big time block by Hyatt right in front of them and I think that conversation with his head coach and put your foot in ground and go man not against these guys today not in this building not where we've never won back-to-back games you try and get in this job gets burns blocking that time boy comes round [Applause] chuckles fifteen [Music] and I don't know we're middle linebacker johntavious Jackson was going on that play but he went the wrong way and in so doing created an amazing open gap the DTN is an okay fine now this is Clemson football this is what we have done all season long they see 440 rushing touchdowns as they did in 2017 which is just an amazing [Applause] goes inside the 15 the 13-yard line that ball gets from point A to point B on these quick passes forget it look at the miles per three seconds to cover 90 feet two weeks ago against Wake Forest that's 600 miles per hour check my math out there are you mad petitions but it is it is just truly remarkable whether it's on tape or as you sit up here and pass response and watching [Applause] first and go for Clemson at the three much right it's a quick screen everybody in college football in high school runs a quick screen but when you can throw it from the far side the numbers and Amari can have his eyes up because it's put right on his shoulder pad in an instant it just allows you to protect look at it to worry about use images to break those tackles that's a opening when you put up miles-per-hour numbers of all those NFL quarterbacks he's 5 or 6 miles per hour faster as a but you see [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we did a beautiful job on the previous possession getting him into a one-on-one with the safety they do so again I mean those are just mismatches and doesn't take a senior to figure out true freshman could say yeah my guy is pretty good and he's a whole lot better than a safety it was as weird being that time it was Westbrook on the previous possession it is what they do man they play with tempo they get their guys into the matchups in the one-on-one situations and then ultimately well they went a whole lot more than the defense does good to see Greg Huebel able to get back out there after he was robbed and he knocks the extra point through two touchdown lead for Clemson here in Tallahassee midway through the second possible unexpected outcomes this year and rockers no one left on Clemson schedule that should at this point be a real thread still at although you have to play all these games through we've seen them upset before I think they've got the margin this year not a Notre Dame not with an ACC that's a little bit down with some of their peers but I will circle at Boston College in a couple weeks as you saw last night against the Hurricanes that can play some defense it'll be a touch back for Florida State let's go back to Cassidy thanks Bob TV more for your college football thing ACC costal leader UVA hosting North Carolina Bryce Perkins to Joe Reed over the top of 27 yard connection 14-7 Virginia in the second spot cassadee thanks very much Clemson in Florida State the ACC as well and it's a two-touchdown lead for Clemson how big is dispossession in for the North's huge and you got the ball Clemson deferred you just got anything going hard to do anything's the drops have played a role stayin on schedule the Crimson offense that has found a little bit of rhythm on the other side you just can't get the ball back to Francois [Applause] [Music] coach David Pennington his guys he got a run your routes harder you got to be physical and get separation deandre Francois talking to each receiver about the coverages they're seen and where he needs them to be [Applause] really know how you miss Dexter Lawrence he's Bob 330 pounds he's sitting right between good thing D Andres dimple pretty good protection this time and a strike to the sideline right at the first down marker and it looks as if tamari and Terry came back to the 50 yard line so he's a yard short so here's a third down and one play with tempo have to get set and acres all those growth tree picks up the first day that's better job by Minshew tt there you could see can say break that one arm tackle those two big boys did enough on that third one I liked Allison's point when the receiver coach - you've got it just play physical everybody does play top speed gets one of the top teams in the country Clemson spends a timeout on defense continued dr. peppers championship drive game of the week and this season for every field goal and extra point made by participating universities all state will make contribution to the university's general scholarship fund thank you to all state down the field for me here tomorrow Terry has got to get a ball one of the next three plays has got to be something pushed down the field there's a first down in plus territory there's the pump fake and there's the shot to the sideline over the head of night quad Murray for a second it looked like they wanted to fire one down the steam instead the intermediate route thrown by Francois and he missed to see this and then and that's one you got to get what was it Chip Kelly week number one way back when said exposed to place sixteen plus yards and you pass the game and that was this will be 15 plus 16 plus in your passing game you get one of those you scored 45 percent of the time if you don't get an explosive especially again Italy against the lead defenses you're not going to get a sustained drive score [Applause] that's can acres in motion I'll run it for them driving his legs of being driven back by Trayvon Mullin on the corner to the nearside makes a tackle after a gain of only two and it's another big third down you throw it on first down there you on again then put yourself a little bit behind sticks talk about a couple of drops you just don't have margin when you play a crew like this on the other side it's to bring to nearly every statistical category [ __ ] is there to hit you gotta hit it [Applause] tastes one down the sideline flag down Francois was hit they blitzed deandre Francois Austen Brian provided the pressure and there's the call password - yo [Applause] we talked about the toughness of DeAndre in the number of shots he has taken then that call is going to be because he was hit below the waist Avon Wallace through the flagship Blackwood who is our referee in the booth longtime supervisor and on-field prep three and the lack of the Mountain West what's the rule there and what are the officials looking for on that one they're looking for the low block that's all they put in a couple years ago to block the NFL it's the low block on the quarterback if you look at it you're seeing go long dangerous at the knees of the quarterback [Applause] great for Florida State heats the traveler [Applause] got it back so here's one of the challenges I totally get it when that hit is it the bees you asked these defenders to non-target but you've asked them to change their strike zone so you do not want to come to the head or neck so you can see Kavon here where does he hit him where does his shoulder in his helmet hit him this contact is to the waist his contact to me right there Jim is to the waist rather than now the impact with the Lu his lower body in force does roll into his legs but what are you asking these guys to do at full speed it's what I hear from all my defender friends you don't want forcible contact to the head or neck and if I target the waist and it just so happens I fall into his legs what do you think need to do is a fair debate Akers drives it so it's going to be third down and long so what do you say then Jim to those defenders that feel like they're stuck in the strike zone I think in this situation it just went wow he hit him in the where he said but then he catches it and there the rule is to protect the quarterback they want to protect the quarterback and I get that and if I'm a quarterback and I'm an offensive coordinator do you know what I do I also devised a scheme that a safety can't come 15 yards full steam ahead that's what that was like I'm hitting him in the waist he said his waistband between the waist and the chest is our target zone in full speed it is hard to do third down and 15 wax everywhere it's gonna go against Florida State again [Applause] number 72 [Applause] I don't think Willie's a note-taker right you see a head coach think with your play caller you don't have time necessarily take notes but if he did he'd have about six or seven of these notes you can see the confusion there Everly for some reason thinks his quarterbacks understanding at the vendor Center all day son but he took notes he would have ref you're the kicker full star band staff fumbles drops I mean he's just been unfortunately it gets a good opponent you just don't give yourself chance this might be a challenge just to get into field goal range [Applause] later up the city me was it is he threw and it's intercepted by tree Lamar to the sideline stays inbounds and returns it inside the 40 all the way down near the Florida State 30-yard line Christian Wilkins pressured Francois just a four-man rush you've seen just about everything he saw safety blitz with Kavon you've seen quarter blitzes but you just see the pressure right into the face to Power Rangers the buddies the best friends Christian Wilkins DeMarcus deck sir Lawrence excuse me right into the grille of Francois and tre Lamar who is known 250 pounds to be that run stuck in the linebacker just shows you that speed is spread throughout the roster we talked about DeAndre Francois there was no question he was going to get it today by this defensive especially that defensive line in that time had caused a turnover [Applause] Laurens on a keeper breaks a tackle that's the safety you see the Tigers don't really care to see their six six to freshmen get unloaded on Goosen Ezra beam is the guy that when as defensive coordinator yesterday Arlen the turbine launches in the island and he's exposed he's running who is the one seminal that you want to tee off on him he didn't hesitate he said Nasra gate is the guy that when he picks you bucks and pieces of helmets and shoulder pads explode [Applause] is that crowd of a helmet it looks like this might be a targeting foul that is initiated from the replay booth because they are going to have our referee get on the headset and is that crowd of the helmet forcible contacts to the head or neck area is not a defenseless player he is a runner so it has got to be the crown of the helmet going to be the crown of the helmet the indicators here Tim Blackwood that they are looking for then the replay booth are the only indicator that they're looking for honor runner it is a crown of a helmet to any part of the body not just the head neck area any part of the body can I take that a step further and be real geeky here yet where is the crown as it is to find is it that top of the face mask or is at the top of the helmet it's the it's been defined as just above the face mask all the way around like a bowl I think he does it's basically the rule that the NFL has now adopted do not initiate contact with that linear body position using the ground of your helmet do not leave with the crown he had a big call last night gonna and Blackledge in their game the Boston College game they ultimately did not call target you know it's bus down they wanted to take another look but is the crown of his helm he asked top of his helmet that's hitting the job and to your point it could have hit the ribs afterward you there was [Applause] [Applause] now I think a lot of people make a fuss when it's over protecting the quarterback I kind of do it's funny I kind of still do but this is about protecting man surfing it's not even just about protecting Trevor Lawrence you're trying to protect the defensive player as well protects against him it's the most danger spot you could put your head and neck is when you spear you nurse the crown of your helmet Trevor Lawrence took a head shot and was knocked out of the Syracuse game right at the end of September and that became an amazing comeback win engineered by chase Bryce the picture of president of course his water fresh you could see a couple of freshmen on the premise of roster the only that depth chart and has a career story [Applause] puts it back in the redzone take it to the end zone blaka noise team Higgins yeah I think this is the right call that left arms wrapped around lit and expose the receiver do that you can have your left arm it times around about [Applause] he's grabbing for whatever he can ends up grabbing the riskier in his party he's got his risk but it's the turning action there it's grabbing that arm and that wrist and it's turning that wide receiver you can try building [Applause] vii Florida State peloton its first team : [Applause] but a bit of throwaway as much as anything it's pretty boys isn't he Bob you can see why the bow and the rest of the crew just raved about him he was up on campus an awful lot over the last few years he never wavered from his commitment he ran basically the same system in high school so when he came in early enrolled it was obvious to everyone the minute he stepped on campus who the guy was I just love his unflinching just nearly doesn't matter what's going on in the game [Applause] shouldn't hitch to Tavian Feaster along [Applause] four down territory for me offensive us so we might be Ben's play I mean Thielen seen these calls and would you mind putting this emphasis on my big guys up front good test good seminar on that to place [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that is to stop that's the fridge coming right at you Christian Wilkins up in the eye and he comes downhill oh no it's not the fridge the fridge was Dexter Lawrence he was the full bat that was right in front of Christian Wilkins you have never seen a college football 700 pounds nearly in the backfield never in poor Dexter doesn't got anybody hit he's running through the landing wow that is awesome man big guys dream right there how does the diva need for that dive that was I so bugle with the extra point 21-nothing Clemson must be fun to be a big guy playing for Davos sweetie as we're back for 30 seconds in no more surprising of the power rangers to come back to keep this group together this year than Kristin Wilkins he's a grad student he has already earned his degree in communications graduated in two and a half years they thought he was going to the NFL he's back to have some fun you know those are called posterior chains right there that's a nice way to say it or you say gluteus and you just have never seen two backs like that never ever ever in college football find it go ahead out in the Twitter world send it to me I mean anything that's ever had a 330 pounds fullback I don't know three hundred and twenty pound tailback lined up behind that's awesome I called their spring game they actually put up a strong safety Christian in that game [Applause] et Potter what's another one in the end zone you can hashtag that hashtag posterior chain I'm coming up at the half we'll check in with Kevin the Gandhi Mack Brown and Jonathan Vilma first half highlights scores from around college football we'll take a look at our primetime game between Texas and Oklahoma State all that more coming up on the capital one half that report I'm sorry did you miss your refrigerator for because you're right the fridge did do that in a Superboy no by the way when do you Klump sometime the fridge is watching that he's saying it was cool full-time for fullback [Applause] pays the price as he picks up - not the first time it certainly won't be the last that you diminish one of my points let me break you to opera it is so fun obviously to see Wilkins and Lawrence out there on special teams on offense Dabo Sweeney's that it's just a whole lot of beef when those guys get going he said there's such tremendous athletes why wouldn't you use him as much as we can [Music] tailback is just so special and he said these guys love it they love being out there and often they love being out there and special teams he said they'd probably storm my office if I ever took them off special teams and nobody wants to see that's not safe for anybody think about why this group came back and why they embraced this program I never heard anything as profound as cooling for number 99 this spring sit with those four guys football they use players he's 10-shot my pencil I've never heard something quite like that frame it back beautifully hit as he throws down the sideline again it was Christian Wilkins all over Francois Francois it has to be helped up as that defensive line really is now starting to tee off yeah you become one-dimensional you got no chance against these guys and you see them right in the middle that separately that's the best lineman I think ever leaves looking for some help with the left guard men shoe he doesn't get any of it and whether it's three-man rush four-man rush you could just dominate that math game here for beat the five or six walkers you're gonna win Daryl Todd McKay's got three of those guys projected to go in the top 11 of the trend now when was the last time three of the projected top 11 picks in the draft came back to school to play and continue as a unit that's just unheard of they all take the money they all go to the NFL after a 46-yard punt tonight mount ABC it is a big 12 battle and a good test on the road for number six Texas in Stillwater to take on Oklahoma State eight Eastern five Pacific here on ABC the ESPN app so you can watch anywhere most Cowboys actually get after the quarterback number one country never born in the country it's sacked in the core back even better then these guys do here in the orange but what they do against the run in the past where they can do out of so much scheme and you know what they came back to be molded not just as football players as young men too [Applause] Lawrence to the sidelines to traviata' Thompson [Applause] it's just different just stay you're just waiting to see a little bit of trajectory or something and it doesn't I mean it just stays on a frozen rope and it really doesn't matter what the route is or how far down the field [Applause] and online sunlen and yanan zibari Rogers like kind of in the wayback machine in comparison of my own I remember covering the Chet's Indian when they brought Vinny Testaverde and going to the chin practice book and watching Vinny Testaverde throw seven-on-seven and it was ridiculous oh you want to talk about a ball every spiral perfect jumping off the hand of a quarterback and when this kid throws it's got that same kind of look and free packs right on time he takes another hit here as Burns got in the backfield but Trevor Lawrence with another first down hook up and it just jumps off his hand and looks different well there's a few things going on as you asked for burns earlier in that time a line stun he actually gets to Lawrence just not in time a few things fundamentally is it all starts at his base watch his power watch the number of times his posture inches that body and those late he meets the Blitz again Denis Higgins Higgins weaves his way to is the same thing you see a Seminole that is down but both of those guys that mechanically all starts there and then they just use their body they rip it and you know he's played 54 games high school football it's not your freshmen who enrolled early I mean this is a guy that has been groomed and ready for this moment I eat took away the starting job from his high school team or for his high school team basically is an eighth grader they invited him to spring football practice with the high school team as an eighth grader and then he became of course the starter as a freshman won a couple of state championships and won his last 41 high school starts just keeps it rolling here at Clemson continuing an injury time out on the field here in Tallahassee Octavius Jackson being looked at by the training staff and he's been down for quite a while Clemson just about in the goal to go situation they've got first and ten at the Florida State 11 yard line up 21 to nothing and that is a very important piece of the Florida State defense that is just now sitting back up Bobbo Susan Brock to your Allison Williams Eric Doak Campbell Stadium just hoping that Dante via stacks n' get up to his feet unfortunately because this Florida State defense came to play here first three four series of this game you know but when you're playing elite opponents and when you're playing Clemson or you're playing Alabama you know you've got to do it and you is a group and as a team in four johntavious and crew and that front you know you go three now you force the party for support force London when your offense just can't get anything going and cannot sustain and puts you on the field again and again and again against these guys we're down first three drives of the game for Clemson they punted all three times with great field position one of those drives started right at the 50-yard line so the Florida State defense early did all they could to hold their team in the game but they have allowed three touchdowns on the last three clips of possessions and their offense just has not been able to get anything go it's already s two touchdowns but isolated one-on-one situation is you can go for the hat trick [Applause] paster the 5-yard line driving his way down to about the to maybe the one and a half that might be just about good for a first down or the circle middle linebacker goes out and what do you want to do you want to run right at it as you see another seminal down Stanford Samuels the free safety slow to get up and now he's down on one knee it was a gain of nine for Feaster so it's second down and one at the two [Applause] got Feaster lined up as the author [Applause] four straight touchdowns four consecutive possessions for Clemson I bet there's a little part of Garrett Williams it says you know I do all this dirty work all season long I don't ask for much but then you put Christian Wilkins in if you let him score a touchdown let me in on the party and all Willie can do is hands on hips he knew his margin today was gonna be so slim had to play a clean game first touchdown run of his career to feel pretty good as well Dabo Swinney was a welcome takes pride in making sure that every guy that he feels regardless of where they might be on the depth chart that warrants some playing time touching the football getting a chance to be in the spotlight he wants the ball to have that experience last week they played 56 players in the first quarter against Wake Park or against NC State partly and there it is every year your roster is different this year our roster is full of guys we trust guys who deserve to play I believe you play the guys who deserve to play well that means even if I've got guys that are three deep or deep on the depth chart they're going to get a chance to get in the game complain that's really cool for us say how great the culture is how wonderful all this is it's so much better when the picture does it seriously that's Christian Wilkins and he's coming out he knows he got celebrated touchdown last time but the guy that has worked his butt off who has earned this opportunity to get his chance to score as well that's his cool pictures we've seen this season that's college football et Potter looks one into the end zone again eh Don Harrison will take a deep and I believe it was mr. Wilkins Christian Wilkins that when Trevor Lawrence got announced after Kelly Bryant left the senior Kelly Bryant leaves the program and he want to do his thing it was Christian Wilkins it took Trevor Lawrence to breakfast that way today I just want you to understand we are all here for you that this family that this culture this thing that we've created you know to take the time out he's already graduated he's done his thing academically you probably got independent studies maybe a little bit more free time but he wanted to make sure he pulled that freshman aside to let him know that they would have his back and do all they can from that defensive perspective that he wasn't gonna have to do it alone they were all gonna do this thing together wasting one down the sidelines it's incomplete well you mentioned the free time that Kristin Wilkins has well he uses it from time to time to earn 80 bucks serious substitute kindergarten teacher how about that guy comes walking into the kindergarten room and you can see they're even wearing their Clemson here but he has substituted in all different grade levels at one point he went out of his way to be asked to ask to be placed in the special ed classroom as well it's just a different kind of guy it's down for start it was also telling that Willie Taggert when he went to Oregon where'd he go before he took that job from South Florida where'd he go study in the spring he went up to Clemson you want to see what that boy was doing built in South Florida but you know in the power 5 everything else want to see you really admired from afar what was going on there couple days spent it became very clear how much they care about their student athletes and grow those guys up that's what he wants to do here that he really feels like anytime he wants to create that same environment that his players don't want to leave school do they want to come back right that they've got it so good in both the near term and in their future that they want to be a part of the program 49 seconds to go in the half Clemson will spend a time out here to try and save some time for their offense see if they can get the ball back to Trevor Lawrence again and I'm not sure how many of the boxes you think Clemson checks but just the physical box for the times you've seen them this year do you think that they are the most physical team in college football outside of Alabama just if you put those two teams have been ends up being the national championship game we get are they legitimately on Alabama's level physically again yep you think they're pretty darn close yeah I think on their offensive line probably not I would probably give the edge there to Alabama but I know with no game this week and there's probably a few Crimson Tide fans that are watching this game that are watching it really closely in fact it may be even some of the coaches because these two are on a collision course for one another and I think both of them have made a lot of choices including Trevor Lawrence being the starting quarterback to really gear up and play towards that matchup and off to camp acres looks like Clemson will call their final timeout of the first tab with 51 seconds to go they will get the football back and I think that Bo sweetie knew way back when when that decision was made and to tell Kelly Bryant who won a lot of games who took them to the playoffs and who was a tremendous leader and a great guy on that team that most when he knew if he's going to beat with Nick has been the road I've got to have this Trevor Lawrence guy you know I've got to have that guy that could just walk with his physical skill some much like Nick Saban did in halftime of a national title game last year that said if I'm gonna be this Georgia team last year I'm gonna need a tool to come in here and just change the environment with his skill set that's exactly as they geared up for this thing through the spring through training camp through the first four weeks that it was going to be this guy's job and in tuck into Todd Blackledge last week who called the NC State game so these guys are trending upward at just the right moment just when you want them playing their best ball you've seen it again today [Applause] returnable up against the sideline for amore rod he's going to try to use speed turn the corner and get a block breaks a tackle Rogers finally brought down inside the Florida State 35 yard line [Applause] defense and you're not just doing it with your offense you've also dominated the special team today that's the second big return for Amari boy that is just understands his role to go so many different places so if I cannot pretend to be a punt returner then I'm gonna change the game in that capacity too as you said tmartn his debt the offensive coordinator the USC could of course won a national championship back in 1998 at Tennessee just about went to play for dad and USC but then said you know what Clemson Cole it is amazing the culture has now created I think you said bird's name and moment you said it he's made some impactful plays in that town 99 just simply heat Mitch I it and the senior left tackle said you're not gonna get to my quarterback I'm gonna try to hold on as much as I can fell right on top of his teammate Robert Cooper and Cooper is still down and even burns walking off with a lip this is one of those games right now if you're Willie Taggart in your Florida State you're saying because what is looming ahead on the schedule to guys if we see and leave this a middle linebacker Jackson leaves this game Samuels safety leaves this game Cooper your nose tackle you freshmen leaving this game burns hobbled you know that what staring at she's at NC State at Notre Dame BC in Florida they have the hardest pervading schedule at least based on our metric our FBI for the rest of the season it has been a long time FSU didn't finish a season with a winning record and go to a bowl game 41 years in a row that Florida State has been a winning team in 36 consecutive years with a bowl appearance this is the kind of game that can be so damaging I think both physically in Allison reported right at the beginning the game talking to Willie tacker but they've gotten better that they felt over the last few weeks that they had been trending upward about Miami game they gave away the second half of 2077 that turnover chain came out and turned it around and Wake Forest they ran away from a week ago that it was going the right way I think today it's very clear where their program is right now versus a championship level one of the best going in all of college football and what Davo has grown over the last decade up there cleanser Tigers are out of timeout still have 29 seconds first in 20 [Applause] wasting one is Lawrence adjusting to it as Higgins and it's broken up Asante Samuel again he's been matched up few different times situations all just hanging in the air just a little bit too long allowed Asante to come around that big body of Higgins - such a nice job his two previous touchdowns today he uses that frame many times you get receivers okay that's great they're six foot three six four against the longer size corners but when they don't play with their length its minimize play there by standing over knock it away [Applause] once complete to the entree overton and that at least gets clumsy in field goal range they picked up 15 and they stopped the clock with 17 seconds to go on the hand that window is so small I can tell by your call right there that was thrown in between three guys in zone coverage it must be fun it must be really fun to paint the corners of 99 miles Ballarat Walker Buehler was doing last night right it is just the game is just different the geometry is just different when you can spin it that the velocity he does [Applause] start the right tackles remain firm against our number 73 [Applause] a game management situation here you have four touchdowns but par threes in call timeouts you want to keep stepping on the accelerator but for a young quarterback to manage the clock and manage a 17 seconds without a timeout in your team as well [Applause] that's to the sidelines with 12 seconds to go and a half now to be fourth down Arvid Wilson got back putting it on Trevor Lawrence I'm not sure if they feel like they're at field goal range here it looks like the offense is staying on the field for 4th down and 11 certainly plenty of time with the clock stopping in college football after a first down to run up and spiking [Applause] to pick up a first down here [Applause] there's the shot at the scene it's dropped it was there brayton Galloway couldn't hold on and so Clemson turns it over on downs with seconds to go on a half I think that ball just surprised the freshman who was on the back shoulder begins own coverage and this thing comes out so hot fast and you could see right on the back shoulder Trevor if he has that over especially with a freshman tight end who was a tremendous Hooper just played a couple years of football I think that young freshman will go you know what I got to get my head around much faster better you know on the other side that linebacker Trevor would want to put that one on the threat shoulder Francois takes in me and that will take us to halftime all Clemson and the first time 28 to nothing and they'll start the third quarter with the football welcome back to college football presented by Jared you're watching the ACCC on ABC just about set for the start of the third quarter here at Doak Campbell all Clemson in the first half as we take a look at our first half stats brought to you by Charles Schwab the scoreboard tells the story and then all of the statistical numbers throwing eight penalties for Florida State in the first half as well frog and yeah not easy - not hard to see why it's 28 nothing okay that's 38 plays for Florida State 38 plays I mean the defense for the Seminoles came out and they had a number of stops early and ultimately the offense just getting in their own way just drops and false starts snaps over the head interception just a collection of errors that you just can't have against an opponent the quality of the Clemson Tigers Bobby Susan Allison Williams for the series Tallahassee as well returnable kick to start off the second half for Gary and Kendra way out near the 10-yard line tries to turn the corner it's another gig kick return for Clemson as he reverses field again gets a couple of blocks the 40-yard line is so before he's running out Clemson's own 39 time for our Pacific Life game summary and those miscues beginning with the Asante Samuel roughing the kicker yeah that's set up the first touchdown of the game Brock for Clemson it piled on from there yeah and you can see if that was special teams coach there and you just giving a Clemson group the opportunity to get in rhythm and Trevor Lawrence and Clemson third a whole lot more than they ran it I think that may change here in the second half as they will look to grind this clock they would look to grind the line of scrimmage Trevor Lawrence they've said it all along from the day he enrolled he ever looked and felt like the freshman who certainly did in the first 30 minutes either Travis ETN wider in the first half than he normally is averaging close to a hundred fifteen yards per game number eight in America coming into today just seven carries in that first half in fact they'll be over near fall I think from Dabo is what our encouragement of make sure you run hard this couple of possessions include ripping off the 15 yard run be part of that therefore the Barney Rodgers he gets free a footrace for the partner they're not catching Temari Rodgers 58-yard touchdown I'm have to retract Bob something I said to you a couple times this afternoon during the break we know what they really need they need that guy that runs for four then when he catches it he's just gone you got a lot of big receivers and I think you understand hey that's that's me I did it on two points and now it catch that little slack bot you break one tackle and instead of being caught when you're running away from the four and five stars on the seminole defense that's impressive the teapot around to the last four minutes and 22 seconds of game time and they have blown this one open 35 to nothing here at Florida State a Florida State team proc that we saw a couple of weeks ago three weeks ago take on Miami and at one point up 27 to 7 on the road before losing a heartbreak for 28 27 down to the Cain's this is a different level of pollen and I think Willie Taggert might know it Allison you had a chance to talk to the Florida State head coach yeah Bob we are playing losing football that's what he told his team at the half he echoed a lot of what you and Brock talked about he said we're not doing the things it takes to win a football game you have to be near-perfect to beat a team like Clemson and we haven't been between the turnovers the drops and the bad snaps is that every time we started to move the ball offensively we got in our own way tough enough to be Clemson they gotta stop beating themselves yeah when you came around the ball and you're negative for net rushing yards that snap over the head have no chance you got no chance against the quality offense and one that is so strong at every level DeAndre he's not gonna do it himself you missed a couple throws you had a couple of critical drops just got a play clean ball [Applause] a makers about four yards on first down when we met with Lily Taggart last night and not to reveal his game plan but he did tell us part of his game plan was to take shots well shots are built off play action how does play actually work if you can't roll the football makers looking for a cutback Lane this time he lost a couple of yards so there is the run game four yards forward two yards back and it's third down and eight I think you know the answer to your question right there it doesn't work it doesn't work and then ultimately to take those shots down the field you have to protect - you know it's just in all phases you know a half time hero is gonna walk in the hallways talking to fans and they say it's close that's good or supportive state just struggling this bad I think it's a whole lot more of the former that these guys just take your game apart and when you're an elite team that is just rich with seniors and experience until you do it they're doing this afternoon looked like cleveland furrow jumped now if he induced the false start or if he was drawn to see you there Kelly that he knows a third Nate right I've got Cleveland Pharaohs gonna be a first-round pick I better get off to the Hall I guess it just all unfortunately builds upon itself the Florida State's got company this is the ninth time in the last 13 games dating to last year that this defense has not allowed a first half touchdown used to having a pretty sizable lead in that time [Applause] winkers Bob Wallace as he goes out of bounds the players have been separated yeah I mean this is we have not had the chance to see the Crimson Tide this year because what every one of their games is look like I mean this is I've seen crossover tape of Davos I think matchup that that he knows can become and if they play their kind of game the rest of this season that they played anywhere near their ceiling there could be in that playoff but this is exactly what Alabama has done weekend after weekend after weekend and now at Clemson Stone last two three weeks is there any pressure quarterback Spiller the good about his game to Rogers lets it bounce sideways hop pretty good hop for Clemson the super freshman Trevor Lawrence and some Tigers within 35 to nothing lead the line of scrimmage in Trivedi back he may have gotten forward progress for no gain AJ Westbrook went face mask to face mask with ETF it now becomes a whole lot of pride defensively what are you gonna do you know your offense has been bit up against it all game so by your app for your energy and your pride and defensive side of the ball [Applause] [Applause] it's just behind the gates Trevor Lawrence tried to find the underneath channel across the ground it got deflected at the line one of the things that danbo was saying to us yesterday as well about Trevor Lawrence with some real steps over the last couple games he was just like that where he was changing their protection where wasn't the center in the seniors up front communicating it but he was taking ownership of that - pretty much [Applause] looks one of the sidelines and throws it away one of the big keys for him over the next 3-4 weeks as well is to protect himself we saw him take another massive shot Nazareth even the safety was ultimately rejected for the in this game for targeting usually the crown of the helmet but that went right to his chin knocked out of the game earlier this year I think that's one of the hardest things for young guys to learn remember Jon Gruden saying as much to any of even those guys getting into the league is your ability to protect yourself you do it through protection calls and changing that the line just like not being a hero running into people throw the ball away little rugby style tip the spires allowing his coverage unit to get downfield is DJ Matthews and this will be a recovery [Applause] you know we saw this saw this earlier unfortunately with DJ that was trying to be aggressive on a ball that was bouncing and he went up just in a pile and God at that time just takes his eyes off you see it was coming and he feels like I gotta make a play I gotta make something happen like this punt return touchdown against Miami then just when it rains it pours man live receiver DJ chase or TJ chase partly puts up with the fumble recovery its first and goal for Clemson I'll run up Aditya the six yard line now but honestly use situations like this I think I would if I'm a head coach or coordinator but this is not just for these snaps right now this is projected over the course of this season and we're gonna get into situations where maybe somebody is down and I've just got to run the football I gotta run it right at Willie's crew here as you can see the turnover been just a major issue for them this season shoulders throw into the insole broke it up does that make sense I know I can throw a back shoulder finger my five touchdowns and we get number six wonder if there's ever a time you like I'm an emphasize here from the eight going in that I just even know they got numbers I think juice [Music] obviously Davos and you know what I want to go to touchdown so we need a second third gasps Beatrice came to [Music] Florida State to the side that's incomplete for trayvion Thompson with that defensive alignment is that a check with me for Trevor Lawrence we're called and that was a check to make sure you're secure at the line in time more than you to the bottom of the field he decided to use the but by force a little bit pride defensively showing up and stopping the true freshman Petey Potter gets a chance from 24 yards and he tacks on three and this one is return okay tre'sean Harrison with the flag down gets out across the 20-yard line that is the 10th Florida State penalty as we check in with Cassidy face bobbing out for the all-state mayhem moment northwestern controls its own destiny in the Big Ten West and controlling things versus Wisconsin so far Clayton Thorson to Kyra to Gowans back to the end zone Wildcats up 24 to 10 on the 20th break Badgers Bob Rock how about you northwestern can hold on in that leave they would move to five and three they're having another solid season under coach Fitzgerald and acres to the right of DeAndre Francois after the penalty but all started throw on six yard line Francois from the goal line and that one is deflected up and out of bounds we had a sense of mr. Francois was gonna take some shots this is a group up front that is been much maligned there's struggled to protect it and you're going up against the best defensive line across so far maybe the best personnel group if it's just by position if you took any positional group and all of college football you'd be hard-pressed to find one is deep and talented as Clemson and Reynosa [Applause] from the end zone down the sideline intended for Terry flag down Trevon Mullen was trying to stay with tamari and Terry pass interference Trevon Mullen the cousin of Lamar Jackson it's the penalty they bring been the Bulls been on that side right he doesn't like any part of this a lot of hand contact between the two of them terries big receiver doesn't mind some of that contact there's a little cushion but ultimately a little too much Devin and edibles not expecting to that call he's got a lot of them he got a lot of signals la défense here for the Tigers Akers it's like we lost you and like I said in the first half I think there is a very good chance that if you are his get back coach you actually have to do like wait yes like I mean you could see that get back coach he spends some time on the bench press you think he ever good to yell that you know we were monitoring Gary Patterson steps that's who he is and there's a lot of signals and light signals as he's evaluating much Gary Patterson does at ECU trying to put his guys in the best position and there is a lot of energy and a lot of calories burned on that sidelines Francois bullets one to the sidelines Terry is there that was one of the first times we've seen the entree Francois really able to step into a throw and that one was a rope 16 yards Venables wants to push out there this was going to be some of the theme to get these plays today over train mckiddy up the scene looking forward to Tuesday night at 7:00 on ESPN college football playoff top 25 the first rankings release presented by Allstate one two seem to be about as logical as you could call right Alabama and person Francois with Flagstaff yeah full start number 70 check it out and do you think as you've seen this year have separated themselves at there is a significant drop-off once you get past number two not to look at what they hit down over the course of this season as well but yeah I think just physically in every phase of the game and it's veteran as those crews are and then just you're just different with two and Trevor flexing the aim straight for Terry down the sideline quickly can throw from Francois but it's incomplete out of bounds again Trayvon Mullin with the red shirt freshman tamari and Sarah yeah and I'm really surprised it took till eight and a half minutes in the third to really see that because what DeAndre does best when he plants his feet he can throw it and he had throw against Wake Forest 64 yards in the air with two defenders in his face on the money and just like every team has got some areas I think over the course of the season they're gonna continue to challenged Alabama secondary has and I think this clumsy secondary is just about it as far as depth standpoint [Applause] that as well in here here is part of the challenge and you see with Alabama - I guess we can continue the parallel conversation is yeah the backups come in but backups by anyone I mean you have seen Huggins already in this game so if you put the twos or the threes in in this system you know they're not just coming into a game Cole they put us all game all season I starts for every other ACC team in B temple course Alabama plays LSU next week that has the feel of a playoff game and I think both of those two teams would probably be represented in the top for Clemson ball and we come back continue dr. peppers championship drive game of the week or there is a team in this game look they fronted championship drive during the orange and white Florence sees one down the sidelines for Rogers Mari Rogers does it again 68 yards from Trevor Lawrence [Applause] maybe it's a wish if it everybody that listens to us anyway you can adjust we're not a stuff set get all told all the time just shut up so I'll just stop talking because I know there's really nothing more to say is that the future first pick of the draft and can you make that kind of projection with that kind of talent as a true freshman but he's just that good he'd be fascinated he came out in this trial probably you get a better question would he be the number one pick in the NFL Draft based on what you've seen so far as a true freshman if you were eligible knowing he's not eligible for two more years after this man he'd be within the conversation now there's some freak show pass rushers but if I mean the NBA does it they project guys and and if the NFL did it I mean just look at look at the quick release over the course of this game this guy's six foot six and many times when you're six sixth year longer release it takes Fumio a while for think of Randall Cunningham is six five how long it takes for the ball to get out look at this kid minutes less than a second and then you just throw in the pure velocity which I hit on earlier you know we timed him it 61 miles an hour so I talked to a hunter Renfro about what it's like catching balls from Trevor Warren's cuz he's played with some pretty good quarterbacks here I going back to deshaun Watson Kelly Brian and now Lawrence and brought to you boy the first thing he said is velocity said she's so quick he'll make a 40-yard pass feel like a 20-yard pass but he said it's such a catchable ball and I thought it was interesting because we have a stain and that's timing is better than speed and now remember renfro's been in the quarterback room since Bryant left he's like their emergency fourth string quarterback so he's been watching Trevor Lawrence in the film room room and how he processes think he said as quick as he releases that ball as fast as it comes at you he's an even quicker thinker he processes so fast it's interesting great points Allison and JP Lossman actually just former first-round pick with a rocket on is working as an analyst there you can see him talking to Trevor and yeah Allison it's just it's just it is just different so as to her I mean goes to you could throw him into that conversation to bomb you put the throes of two on they put their releases side-by-side right and left as far as the quickness of it as far as I talked about earlier that posture that that leg strength in the power work it all comes from and then the whip I mean one six foot six one six foot two but and one right and once a southpaw but man they're doing the exact same things in dominating is such young guys college football [Applause] Patrick on first down with down bow Sweeney about his freshman quarterback I asked him is there any part of Trevor Lawrence that was thrown a bit because you can get pretty tight was there any part about him that was thrown a bit with all of these guys transfer just because they saw the writing on the wall I'm not playing at any point in front of this guy even as a true freshman of course Kelly Bryant after four games to start off this season realizing he still had the red shirt as Francois with a strike to terry to midfield he decided to transfer and Mo said no he's just been doing this his whole life when he was an eighth grader he started practicing with his high school team as a 9th grader walked right in took the job and won two state championships so there's nothing new for him to take the job as a freshman away from an upperclassman Francois looking for Terry broke it up another truth Brett's been getting a chance to play he gets a past effect he does a pretty good job at the very end of this route even though he's beat he doesn't necessarily go in to Terry he slowed down he raised his arm but there was a little bit of contact but how many times do you see even veteran coroner's freaked out by here panic see their arm goes up right there but he's not necessary and he's not into the body drawing the immediate way for the true freshman and add on a little bit to that point about Lawrence and what Davos said to he didn't ask anybody else right I think so often these just 4 star 5 star well if you recruit me or I sign you're not gonna recruit anybody else or or who's gonna be the year I'll keep it one about anybody else miscommunication daiquan Murray and Murray is frustrated Francois throws it behind him pretty good lesson right Seine you're late if you go too close you can have a four star in five started you're all gonna compete and the best players gonna play that bus there's high maintenance low maintenance and this is no maintenance like you said that you're drinking yeah he looked at whoopee he what the quarterback landscape was and where he might factor in as a freshman you could care less he just said I want to come too close receivers am i minute I'd ins everybody else's you want to play with this kid for the next few years too [Applause] by Francois maybe he took a strike as he delivered a 26 yard completion nothing he would know he throws it in Huggins once again just obliterating Coleman shoe the left guard and just about everything else corporate pose and yoga right there we feed her above your head as you're just getting hit to the ground time and dull-eyed you're talking about it's not asking him at a yoga pose could that be more of a miscast question very rustic [Applause] they're gonna rule that a catch him down at the 5-yard line Rooney Murray was able to hold on and let's take another look knee down quickly before replay kimbos down florida state tried to line up and Dabo Swinney is screaming from the sideline that that should have been an incompletion and he may have called the time Sweeney once replay to take a look at it before Florida state could go tempo of course the rule is control of the football either 2 feet or a body part down once the elbow is down he is certainly down to the play is over again Jim Blackwood is our referee expert longtime on-field of supervisor of officials in the Mountain West and the WAC and Jim he's an upright receiver and he's going to the ground soon as he hits the ground he's dead then the ball comes loose when the defender comes up and hits him now if they rule that he was going to the ground than they might reverse this but I see this as a private receiver because nobody was in contact with him he lost his footing because of the grass [Music] again next to me is pretty good yeah Dabo Swinney shaking his head but we've got the authority with us here in the booth 45 to nothing Clem sit on top of that catch by Murray puts Laura to stay in position to at least get some points on the board first and goal at the five request Patrick the right of Francois in the shotgun does Maria motion with Patrick and a flag down and he has caught well behind the line Chad Smith third string Mike linebacker me players in the backfield 5-yard penalty the Clemson would take the penalty and now the word comes in correct we saw him straight from Davos sweetie they want to decline the penalty after a tackle for a couple of yard loss kind of clean the game up Willie you know that's gonna be the conversation with every one of his guys as well he was gonna get up on the line of scrimmage it's the second third time you've had a lethal formation as well today Francois except cqp take this kind of punishment it felt that way for years watching DeAndre because when you see him when he plants his feet I got this Drive he throws some of the prettiest balls you're gonna see mount of beating he has taken over the course of his four years here in Tallahassee it really is as much as anybody I've seen the 11 years of doing this [Applause] Patrick's the lady of the end zone Patrick got down to about the three yard line that was some orphan with Murray and Mark fields this could be more than one that was some punchin [Music] personal foul throwing a punch number eight offense [Applause] daiquan Murray kicked out of the game we take another look this is after the play is over not sure if Mark fields should have also been penalized for the counterpunch certainly married through the first box rikiya glial for 35 yards out to try and get Florida State on the board and make sure that this does not go down as a poem shutout loss [Applause] time to take a look at this week's college football rankings brought to you by chick-fil-a and not just this week let's go back and look preseason who has stayed put and how many new faces or new teams new captains octet whose garden now the two at the very top is kind of mean got four out of the original top ten still in the top ten and those top two goes to the point where as long as Dabo and Nick have you get new coaches you get new scheme you get all these new players on them by the way I got to develop culture and then I gotta have selfless guys like Christian Wilkins and keep recruiting these two at the very top of the food chain right now or just what everybody's shooting for Bryce will take over for Trevor Lawrence Bryce of course engineered what might have been the most trying moments of this season so far for Clemson when they lost Trevor Lawrence against Syracuse and to come from behind and win at home 27:23 and he led a game-winning 13 play 94 yard touchdown drive to help them overcome a 10-point deficit so the redshirt freshmen chase Bryce now at quarterback Zubov you may not know yoga poseurs but you know something about reading and you're reading through the notes this was your point that that was an excellent one when you talk about what Dabo has built and where he has gone to get his players Trevor Lawrence arguably the best player in Georgia JJ Henry great player from North Carolina but look at some of the other states where some of the best talent has come from Justin Ross did he go to Alabama came to closer Jackson carbon a left tackle didn't go to Ohio State Clemson and they continue to Overton marrying tacklers all the way down sixty-one more yards to the Tigers [Applause] it's just that RPO that run-pass option he saw Trevor hit earlier Higgins on this or actually that one was the true freshman Ross they play an inside round his Swank brought behind it and he had another huge chunk exposed to play for the Tigers Dixon he picks up about three and a half the bubble of maybe coming to Clemson the originally committed Tennessee that was when the Tigers had severe white was the number one running back on there thought they might get him Zamir white chose Georgia when Jay Dixon gets a call goes to Clemson option [Applause] Janeiro's Robinson you could see in laughs but he knows on tape tomorrow like oh no not only was that not great today can't wait til we watch date tomorrow I'm stumbling and bumbling and fumbling on my way now you got to make a payoff here on Thursday that's all right chase I've been [Applause] place to the endzone for the touchdown [Applause] TJ chase [Applause] so the backup gets a chance to throw his second touchdown pass at the season Clemson continues to roll over Florida State and we understand Christian does this with every single touchdown but it never gets old to see the Big D tackle and this is what chase is better at anyway he'll run the option he'll be willing guy to do it but he was a big-time recruit because of his ability to throw it and spin it as well and this is getting really ugly for Willie well there is a young man that plays with enjoy for the game Christian Wilkins every time that someone has made it to the endzone or made a big play for Clemson who's the first player off the bench to get in the end zone and take part of the celebration give me this guy on my team I mean this is a guy that we can talk about all the measurables you and there's so many players on this field that have the hives of the speed and the weight that many a 200 or 300 plus pounds that can run that touchdown in but give me the guy that has a joy to play football I don't know where that fits on these Scouts I was chatting with a couple of the scouts on the field before the game about these different guys and I know for some coaches and specially the one that I'm around the Pacific Northwest and Pete Carroll it's one of the first things that he wants to see you and we talked about Bradley Chubb and I talked to some Scouts some guys that it's their job to analyze the draft and he seems to me to be a great recent example of that that just played with such a joy for the game and that and that motor that just never stops rolling because you still have to play in football moved him way up the trip and if there's a position where a motor gets more evaluated it's keyline especially physical kids and talented that can take place off and in relax a bit and just get go through the motions or 42 Harrison [Applause] somehow stays on his feet [Applause] the 16 through a lot of traffic to do it as well well in the not-too-distant future they'll be talking about Christian Wilkins on NFL countdown you can kick off your week with sunday NFL countdown at 10 a.m. Eastern on ESPN before Aaron Rodgers and charit Goff square off on Sunday to Cal quarterbacks discuss what they admire about each other's games plus a behind the scenes look at the Minneapolis miracle as the Saints returned to Minnesota for a playoff rematch against the Vikings all that and more to get your sunday NFL countdown started at 10 a.m. Eastern if they say the NFL the more you can do longer you can stick around Christian is a heck of an D tackle running back cheerleader even a boy over there cam Akers loses two and a half miles picnic comes through and it has to be sobering for a Florida State offensively when you are two and three deep on Clemson's depth chart and they are still dominating the line of scrimmage six rushing yards that humiliated [Applause] incomplete intended to the freshman Keyshawn hunter they flag thrown on the far side fear it will go against Florida State he knows without fail number 6 fence Paley's decline so it's third down and 12 [Applause] the good news if you're really tiger is you have been through these long afternoons before when you have first taken over jobs and taking over programs as Francois is going to go down again inside the ten-yard line this one sack for jordan williams that is very true especially true west from Kentucky and in South Florida State the team can be losing 52 to 3 that is true and speed embarrassed this is even competitive at the line of scrimmage offensively throwing Oregon as well though the three programs he took over where it combines 7 of 7 and 29 in the season before he arrived so the reason you fire Wilmington is to rebuild your program yes line drive kick that one's gonna hang up and take a Clemson roll back towards the Florida State 25-yard [Applause] an 18-yard putter been that kind of day Jarrett Bill Campbell bring a book Catan subjects kill time went for 29 seconds to go in the third quarter December 1st 1973 the worst ever Florida State lost sat Homer on the road was 49 to nothing at Florida wild cat now and Darian Kendrick running the option taking the direct snap and that one of the few times today Clemson offense self-destructed you ever brought a book to a game like that that's just a back is that just a back-up plan think of a game yes and go well book to read start of the fourth quarter and chase price is going to split out wide once again and we knew this game would go brach as the quarterbacks went and also as the time allowed to DeAndre Francois would go while those numbers tell you all you need to know about how good Trevor Lawrence has been but also Francois under assault on the beating he's taken 10 hits 9 hurries the three sacks just about seemingly every single play looked at a very different situation and Trevor did on the other side Darien Kendrick reaches it out and picks up the first down a chase price already showed in that Syracuse game in a very important spot that has to be really comforting I would think to have in the back of your mind if you're a head coach the backup quarterback is already have to in these systems where there's QB row in these systems were open edges of your tackles especially good sweetie check if he's gonna get hit and you better have more than one with another Clemson touchdown this is a statement by Clemson and the fact that they are still even with their backups able to crease the defensive put points on the board up to fifty nine to three and if this was a measured handful of years ago was winning the national championship with Jameis Winston a quarterback Clemson Death Valley talk about coming full circle statement performance today by Clemson vinaigrette put a flag down doesn't quite reach the 20-yard line thirteen after this is to go from the end of the run first down another penalty against Florida State as we thanks very much quite as much tension here between Clemson and Florida State you almost get the feeling Brock like Clemson could just name their number and this is an eye-opener for Willie Tiger at this Seminoles program where do they go from here with a handoff request Patrick I think I'm taking DeAndre Francois out of this King I mean at this point he has taken such a beating if you're going to extend your winning streak and you've had 31 straight years 41 straight years with a winning record and you're gonna look for a couple more wins over the final four weeks you're gonna have to have number 12 available this thing's done I mean this thing was done a long time ago on the ground again that's a third string linebacker that's getting through and hitting DeAndre Chad Smith it's all over DeAndre Francois while they're trying to play quick game and they have the toughest remaining schedule of any team in FBS according to our FBI and they have to find two more wins in there somewhere to get to six and six and have a chance to play a bowl game and avoid a losing season another false start [Applause] how much of this for Willie tagger to this coaching staff is going to be mental rehabilitation after a loss like this as much as it is physical to strategic would even after 14 penalties for a hundred in ten yards getting gashed in the special teams phase being uncompetitive at the line of scrimmage watching Clemson's backups just run up and down the field yeah Bobby I think in every single phase with still four really difficult games coming up to I think one of the hardest is just when you felt like things were turning a little bit after the 15-yard gain you just think okay get the Miami game that was really just at the end of the game and we played so well for three quarters and Wake Forest final three quarters played so well and then this happens but you just want that trajectory you just want that momentum and that energy going the right way and you're number one is you're building even if it starts horribly it's once again deandre is on the ground and it did I mean that that Sanford game here obviously the opener begins for GT they started really bad but then you felt like you finding your way just a little bit and then this clunker I mean this absolutely uncompetitive clunker comes fans I think for your players for everybody involved you work to dig out of this thing [Applause] he goes attend the entree Francois with no chance speed rush from the true freshman they Xavier Thomas guys I'm curious after a game like this if you're Florida State do you even watch the tape do you go back maybe watch the first half or did you just kind of flush a game like this well what's amazing is this was a scoreless game at the end of the first quarter so Brock from your standpoint is a former player be interested to hear you answer that question after we come back and innovation for the andre francois moment ago as well as he was led off the field and again it kind of bakes the question that you asked earlier is it worth it or was it worth it to still have him on though healed as James Blackmun takes over and James Blackman immediately under assault he goes dead at the 19 yard line that was her guy Albert Huggins once again that just continues to take the life out of this offensive line and anybody around it i mean this is i said earlier Huggins would start on any other defensive line in the ACC big-time recruit and yeah that's that's one way to take care of the little zone regain its this is a statement there is just no question about it that 2013 game 51:14 with Jameson crew from where it was clearly here's the head of glass in here's you still chasing us this is a statement right back at Florida State those ladies son will back to receive the punt and a flag comes out as he takes a hit after a 46-yard kick fifteen Temari and Terry called for targeting and they're gonna take a look in the replay booth will step aside new was coming it would be a physical day it would be a day where he was probably going to get hit and hit often by a very physical dominating Clemson defense but beyond Florida State's wildest dreams is Lynn Jay Dixon it stops at the line maybe picked up a half yards out there I've heard from some of them via text today decades and decades and decades at 41 years of being winners even yesterday asking cam akers about it the running backs and yeah we know that we know the straight and we don't want to be the team it's a part of it and seeing that end over four decades loss like this is not only humiliating but to try to gather back up for the final stretch of the season is broken up a check that intended for cabbage Smith and you could stream college football all season long on ESPN so start your free trial today by downloading the ESPN visiting ESPN Plus ductile and I believe this game was zero zero you know the first quart the end the first quarter and could have stayed there as well if not for the roughing the kicker penalty on Asante Samuel after Clemson mr. hinkle that thing started four straight touchdown drives little foul was a game tree there's Kevin Smith how is this way for a first step and I guess I'll answer Alison's question than you teased as well do you burn the film or do you watch oh you have to watch this in your number one you have to watch that first quarter where you played couldn't have ball where you were in positions and you had drops and penalties and
