they're Tigers [Applause] the state can give them a test I think they're conflicted no they hate South Carolina but they're really wouldn't like to see South Atlanta mouth off torture it's been a wild week seven already around college but what kind of the week we've all been waiting for and so here it is Florida State has won the toss they'll defer [Applause] both of these schools coming off their bye weeks super hyped super cupped Joseph Nagato will take a knee in the end zone pull the touch back all eyes on Trevor Lawrence lots of talk this week is he okay how's the throwing shoulder grease I think everything's fine I haven't seen anything on tape just to prove otherwise I think he's just this is like kind of a little sophomore opportunity for him to kind of step up grow up into the leadership role of this Clemson team Christian Wilkins is gone Cleveland Farrell's gone those leaders are gone it's on number 16 shoulders and today's another great opportunity for him this season it's on his shoulders yet clemson has said they want to get back to running the football here today Temari Rogers in motion they come out throwing Laura to take a deep shot down the sideline [Applause] so all that we're gonna get [Applause] bable told us yesterday he wants to throw the ball deep he wants to take advantage of some of these boards that's Asante Samuel at five ten against he Higgins at six four puts down a 10 pitch to Travis he Tian he's going to throw the football well Clemson is come out on beating us at a shadow it's a gain of 33 right off the bat you see Davos Sweeney wants to take this game by control two shots down the field on Asante say they've already taken Samuel out Isaiah Bolden is checked in and we get our first flag of the afternoon [Applause] Jeff he's er is our referee you'll hear from him shortly Davo came into this stadium he went to the rock and he got fired off trying to get this crowd into this game right from the moment he stepped in the stadium and now he's doing it on the field aggressive play calling trying to take this game before the state on the ground DTN inside of 10 [Applause] I think this is going to be the plan all day long you've got the mob in the middle we got almost a thousand pounds worth of defensive lineman for Florida State for three interior defensive linemen so it's run outside and it's vertical that I think it's going to be an aggressive approach today for clubs on the ground in TN banging heads just short of a first down you're about third down and one inside the five it's Kinabalu Todd mentions that mob it's led by number 21 right there Marvin Wilson he's 65 311 pounds of the best defensive player at Florida State is almost impossible to move off the line of scrimmage Robert Cooper his line mate and Corey dirt and make up the rest of that defensive front they will not be easy to move down here inside the five two tight ends for Clemson third award on the play big stop by Corey Durden in the middle of that defensive line of Florida statements one down decision Quarry dirt and here he is right here he's just going to come right around the tackle that's anchor um you can't over set that play anchor went [Applause] zero decision here well I think the way that gavel came into this game aggressive this is not a surprise at all but dabble my see all they line up and fall a timeout at the last second to ward [Applause] go down on the books the touchdown pass the bottom line smart play call by Tony Eliot it's the option they're going to have gainer he's going to come up the field and as soon as he does that's when the great read for words perfectly executed they pull Simpson onto the linebacker that's a whoopin Petey Potter [Applause] boy about the possible story [Applause] into this one for the seminal yet the sense meeting with Clemson this week that they were going to come into this game everybody's telling them everybody's dropping them in the rank should've lost against Carolina conversion that's all they've been here [Music] great first privacy the motion from battles me and you see what happens with bunch of sports first they are impossible to beat again officially that ghosting touchdown pass turn alarms will never throw it easier touchdown pass 16th consecutive game the scoring pass done at least one touchdown in 20 of his 21 now career games the only game without a touchdown pass was that game last season against Syracuse which he was hurting I will kick it away it's back for Florida State he'll let it bounce into the insole [Applause] hesitation some gamesmanship going on with the starting quarterback Florida State a couple of weeks going there the last game Carolina State the whole world was taller be James Blackmon and Alex Hornibrook ran out Blackman's game quarterbacks but James Blackman has earned the leadership role on this offense the team loves him Alex Hornibrook can play this game but Blackman gets to start based on his leadership and relationships along I'm gonna keep it on the optional stumble forward for a couple [Music] Akers can't come up with the football third down and eight everybody had questions coming into the season for Clemson defensively losing their entire front seven outside of Isiah Simmons how would they be and they have been up to snuff flag flies Blackmon Pass is complete amazing to get it in to tamari and teri and a smaller dog I think of substitutions defense penalties decline results in the play first down it's a big time throw there for James Blackmon third down right off the bat third and long third and 10 stands in there and finds his best receiver in Terry cam akers approach ahead feel what a day for college football in the state of South Carolina the Gamecocks go to Georgia and knock off number three meanwhile here at Clemson South Carolina the Tigers score quickly in [Applause] covered it and then that pass is incomplete Steve Levy along with Brian Griese Tom McShea Molly McGrath on the field for those of you just joining us Clemson got the football and they went up top for 40 yards immediately Tootie Higgins then Travis heap TN took a handoff and threw the football to Amara Rodgers and just like that six plays 75 yards less than three minutes the Tigers were on the board this is the first possession the state now gain of two on the play to Ontario Wilson [Music] [Applause] tell me Martin there's standing back it is 35 Darien Kendrick back to receive for Clemson [Applause] out of bounds and we'll get some good field position to start for the Clemson Tigers with that officially say good afternoon what a start for Clemson what a start to the college football right I think out the 80,000 fans here probably you haven't seen yet that sounds rather the be upset Georgia they have to be torn right they hate South Carolina here but they probably need to have tone to lose a game for their platforms and a good reminder to these clubs and Tigers to any time you step out out of the field be aware be afraid great start by Clemson an aggressive start by Clemson pushing the ball down the field they do not want to have another situation like what happened in Chapel Hill from the job [Applause] but people miss Russell down and a flag comes in Amaury gainer later little too excited after the play was over personal foul unnecessary roughness defense number 33 15-yard penalty first down that's the redshirt freshman made his first on a couple of weeks ago at yeah he's starting because generis Robinson the the starter traditionally for Florida State on the outside is not playing in the first half of this game because of a targeting last week so gainer right off the bat hurt his team yeah it's last drive for Clemson to long rolls right off the bat both of them are targeting Asante Samuel and then a little double move on the outside you see each in gives Justin Ross an opportunity and then the shuttle pass a great ball [Applause] [Music] etn is Outland Jay Dixon has checked him and he'll take the football his first carry six-five 311 pounds ago but not a - was a gain of five we were talking with Marvin Nelson he's got the right disposition to be a defensive tackle he's not happy here hit somebody they feel very confident in their run defense they're not as confident obviously in the past defense as we've seen but Wilson was confident they could slow this plums in rush rush attack said Trevor Wilson just another quarterback for the quarterback I want to take his head off oh well let's see last out now that pass goes incomplete Cory Dirtnap the pressure online I'm coming nice job Florida State defensively in there coordinator Harlan Barnett [Music] with an assist from Jim Leavitt the defensive analyst that's a major story in what has already transpired for Florida State this season TJ Mathews it takes a Florida State bounce Seminoles will start from the 30 trailing blankenship no good South Carolina upsets the third-rate Bulldogs 22:17 state Brian Todd back to you blankenship one of the more reliable knickers in our country he most reliable from 55 he's good I mean if you had to pick one kicker to make that cape and earlier in the overtime South Carolina actually missed the chip shot of the field goal got a second chance back forward a stateful topic shame they need a wide receiver to make a play and tamari and Terry is the guy the big difference maker we know about ham makers at the running back position but not to target in the passing game and I think it's going to have to be quick this offensive line is struggled in protection they've got to get the ball out quickly and get me some shot throw that one away it would be a third down and eight looking rather spiffy today yeah this look good that pink time now he's right this offensive line has been the issue and it's no secret and he's the same last year [Music] not strong enough the heavy dose today [Applause] why for Terry James Kowski put a lick on Blackman and it's 4th down and you know Brent Venables you know what he's gonna do [Music] Smith both off the strong side Blackmon gets rid of them football under duress his defensive print venoms they're not going to take these scow skis the guy who was quite friday go into that north carolina game is and we didn't have a great week of practice and that showed able to hang on stop a two-point conversion with a minute 17 left for a one-point win at North Carolina the fair catch up to the 35 down to Bali well Steve some people are saying that Clemson doesn't deserve to be ranked in the top 4 will guess what quarterback Trevor Lawrence agrees with them telling me we have have been playing like a top 14 we didn't even deserve that number one ranking because that was based off what we accomplished last year this year's team hasn't earned anything Lawrence took responsibility for their offensive issues and said our best players haven't played their best ability we head over thinking a lot of throws but he looks pretty refreshed and motivated early honesty now in fairness Molly that conversations before Georgia law host club sit at the top floor now with Georgia being bounced out I agree with Trevor Lawrence assessment they have but the good news is that they are five and oh and they've won their last 20 games and Trevor Lawrence has all the skill set to toot Eddie had coming into this season if people said this is the best player in college football he still has the opportunity to do that to see once was a coal favorite with to win the heisman this season now at 52 one you want to pick on one player from that one point victory at North Carolina the coaches all set circle number nine Travis etn had an all-around bad day and waited in the way to candy-coat that he didn't block well that was the biggest issue he just took a big shot right there kind of went down funny he was his legs were tied up and he took a shot to his head Cyrus Fagan makes the stop k25 take another look at that shot on a TNS is the play before he's going down and he just kind of gets the shoulder from the safety Fagan right into right to the head dangerous position just standard like that start to look at the back of the neck that would be a huge blow for Da'Ville Sweeney Dixon in the backfield Lauren speaks to him and complete he has the first down maybe 5.8 working on Fagin there first down for the Tigers one of the things that Joe talked about was just getting some tempo going offensively they felt like they'd never gotten a rhythm and that affected this quarterback Trevor Lawrence so early on here we're seeing a little bit more tempo and just having some success what's from easy throws a little bit of pressure picked up nicely Justin whoa for the Clemson Tigers I think Todd's right you know you got to get Trevor Lawrence into the game you don't have to make it too difficult you know one of the things that lesson is always well is throw the default but when when corners start to play off and give cushion they will throw that hitch right on the outside and they will do it play after play until you come up and defend it able to get four armor plate Dante via stacks in the stop from Florida State coming in and that is good news he is the key in the run game certainly for for Clemson 42 career rushing touchdowns that second in Clemson history they're going to get where they want to go they're used to going to the championship game he's going to need to continue out of great you six defensive backs Florida State blitzes [Music] etienne down [Music] wanted to get him going early that's a game of 12 they dumped us back we talked about not trying to run to the strengths of Florida State's defense in the middle they're gonna run to the outside that's the stretch play exactly what Tony Elliott Jeff Scott told us in the meetings they wanted to do was get etn in space first down and goal the gain of three over play at CTN another carry [Music] Nazareth Dean makes the stop for Florida State [Music] second down and goal upcoming really Clemson is something to prove today which is odd they're playing like they've got something to prove here nice play Florida State just ran a player off late Laurens gonna keep this one [Applause] last week in crunch time they ran Trevor Lawrence when they need him the most against Carolina in the red zone inside the 10-yard line we saw the Shawn Watson do this time after time and Trevor Lawrence equally as talented running the football with his strength and his size just gets it across the goal line taking a look at it to make sure the body part hit the turf great lead blocker Disney who price on the review and again when you say something that approved a couple of weeks ago in the last game for Clemson we keep going back to that one-point win against North Carolina they had four three and outs they failed to score in eight of eleven drives in that game and if this touchdown stands that'll be two scores in three drives here early out of the first quarter and a great response is clearly a touchdown a great response for Clemson after the bye week listening to everybody tell them how bad they are and that they shouldn't be in this conversation right and for for Trevor Lawrence come out and he started this game perfect and it's hard right it's hard for a guy like Trevor Lawrence think about what he did a year ago as a true freshman the first time that that's happened to win a national championship since 1985 and to be perfect on the biggest stage the national championship game to beat an Alabama team that a lot of people thought was the best team in the history of college football and for him to come and follow that up this season Steve that is not easy that's a lot of pressure and I think that's why he doesn't get a break because he dismantled Alabama after further review the ruling on the field stands [Applause] there's a few nice things [Music] sophomore jinx who smoked those kinds of things but he tore apart Bama like Alabama's never been beaten before in a national championship game against the schedule Clemson his face so far you're not expecting him to take a step backwards those Miami Hurricanes in 2003 in terms of a pipeline to the NFL and that's what Clemson's lost but you look up and all of a sudden you see third in the FBS refreshers so Brent Venables give them a lot of credit you know there's talent here it's nowhere near the talent level a year ago but they're still flying it away to get pressure on quarterbacks it's a combination of would say and utilizing some young talent Potter puts it in the air Steve this Beach place to do updates brought to you by car Max and Kellen Mons one-yard run capped off a 14-play 75-yard Drive that took over eight minutes but Alabama has just responded it's 7 to 6 in the first Steve Bryan back to you [Music] week seven college football Saturday sleep Alex Hornibrook this is not based specifically on Plaquemines plenary expectancy those quarterbacks in this game today although maybe not so world yeah two series four black men that's impossible to get in any kind of rhythm but you see we're okay [Applause] it's Terry [Applause] honestly coming into this game I felt like Alex Hornibrook gave him a better chance not that they were gonna have a great chance against his bump some team but I think he operates this his Florida State offense decison he's more accurate and he's putting in a lot of games like this now what he hasn't done is blade behind pitch to trade mckiddy the tight end and he's got a first down four minutes left in this first quarter dominated by yeah creative play call from office reporting or candle Briles now the assistant coach very soon office [Applause] [Music] he's dragged down by Tyler Davis and that's part of that new front for Clemson I think where Venables gets a kick out of these guys justice number 44 miles Pinkney he's holdovers then weighed a bunch a year ago second and 11 [Applause] [Applause] we're going to get decision to bring in a new quarterback in one of his first throws wildly behind an open wide receiver there been a conversion but instead it's an interception by abuse Marvin Wilson second time able to knock down a Trevor Lawrence pass doctor down forever caught it and every quarterback needs to add a reception in that stack home that fills out the whole stats how we catch you I love to see that none of which were memorable any for positive yardage net that count as a completion you get the catch and the completion absolutely second and ten to his left just talking make some people miss trevor launched the shoulder appears to be just fine I think he's uh Nicky is just fine there's no question about his health and this is what he does he extends plays it's so dangerous but he can also run and get out of bounds that's smart he took a really big shot last week against North Carolina babbles Swain does not want to see him in that position meet amar and gainers reach for air pretty good move there goes down to ten come upon two and a half to play in the first quarter [Applause] gain of five on the play State Defense which they felt confident about being able to stop the run coming into this game you see they've they've been on the roller skates here in the first quarter we've got another player down on the field at Cyrus Fagan [Applause] one clap at a flag wall start offense number 59 Babi Yar penalty second down and that's not going to make that most weenie happy on the sidelines they this was a reoccurring problem last week last couple of weeks and it was because North Carolina was stemming that their defensive line up front gates for Vanka this time you see him smilin like I cannot believe I just fell for that stem jumped offsides again five pre-snap penalties against North Carolina second one today for two snapping Lawrence like Dixon when Jay Dixon for nine yards you're gonna find out about Lyn Jay Dixon we know etn took a shot earlier in this game and it looks like Dix is going to get more courage than normal but he was the number three rushers who just team a year ago no more Damien Feaster he's gone to South Carolina so now he is the number two back and number one guy to spell ETN dabble getting his message across to Cervenka he's out of the game John Simpson has come in and replaced him for now [Applause] for the first down and after trying this defense on the edges and the first two drives now they've loosened it up in between the tackles and they're starting to come off the football and give some credit to this offensive line John Simpson that time wrapped around from that left guard position got a great block these warrants pick up gainer brought him down and we're under 30 seconds left players come together this was a Florida State team that spoke of the confidence they had all of a sudden after consecutive wins and this will hurt this first quarter world believe a sting a little bit with black and blue bruise that recently acquired confidence [Applause] Sunday 5 themselves - sports Eagle last for Florida State warm-up tour prior to that Florida State's defense is down a man we believe that is Josh Robinson he was flagged for targeting the second half of their game against NC State that means a suspension just for the first half of this game you pick up three targeting penalties across the season then they give you a full game suspension but we will see the man they call J Rob in the second hat it's got to be so odd right so frustrating team is out there right time you're sitting there watching [Applause] tonight your teens getting beaten up and on the way to trailing 21-nothing in europe a critical part of his defense he think he could do something about that he's you're sitting there watch the gamer being part of it can't be on the sidelines so he's sitting in the tunnel right I noticed when I went over to the audio booth to learn commercial and introduced myself made sure it was generis and it needs a gap he's just so frustrated watch it on his iPad right now touchdown we were at BYU if your weeks ago and talked to Kalani Satake the head coach there and he made the point we have to put these poor kids in isolation he's got to sit there by himself oh wait couldn't he be on the sideline with his teammates without his helmet isn't there a better way than I'm sort of embarrassing these kids you but I think I think it's a good point and I totally agree with Kalani on this and you know these things happen real fast I get you're trying to get that behavior out of the game but you don't need to isolate kids No and the field judge there was sort of blocked out by Justin Ross's body Isaiah Bolden had the coverage back shoulder was thrown perfectly looking that balls located Bolden got a hand in there it just went right through the breadbasket of Justin Ross and Willie tagger we were talking with their defensive coordinator Harlan Barnett last night but they're aware of these back shoulder throws and how much Clemson and Lawrence like the thrown Bolden was ready for that one can't still get a first down [Applause] suppression picked up nicely by question [Applause] we talked with Tony Eliot their offensive coordinator about Travis etn and how last week he got beat badly in past protection against North Carolina this time he steps in there picks up the Blitz alive only reason why Lawrence has the time to throw that football gift to etn for coming back from a week ago two weeks ago excuse me against North Carolina next report on the way and good three red zones rip spell attacks in Clemson history the one thing that was missing from his game a week two weeks ago was past protection he stood in there now gave Trevor horns opportunity to throw that football Dabo Swinney challenged him this week and he has responded Potter kicks it away Florida State need some condoms and Brian I thought it was interesting talking to Davos reading he said in front of the entire team talking to etn hey it's a good thing that you have great tape and a bunch of other great tapes showing that you can block because what you put on tape last week with the lack of protection and the fumble it would make you a fifth round draft pick said I know you're better than that and I know he is to etn it has shown that he can block but to me he's a second-round draft pick [Music] and nobody questions his legs and his running ability it's all about the intangibles and so certainly something he's improved fines Keshawn Hilton for a gain of seven on the play and I thought it was interesting talking with Tony Eliot always trust his legs but he needs to trust his upper body he wasn't real strong coming in to Clemson he's gotten stronger that's critical impact Haven laybourne gets his first carry team's Kowski it's a gain of two it's going to bring a third down of what Molly can add a Travis you can Clemson touchdown Dabo sweetie walk past all these others players went up to Travis etn gave him a huge hug and said way to make a comeback this has been a great start for you so etn responding down at lon barely getting back to the line of scrimmage as Labour and Jordan Williams comes up to make the tackle fourth down and Florida State now has changed quarterbacks wrong from Blackmon to Hornibrook Hornibrook throws an interception back to black men they're disjointed they have no rhythm on the offensive side a tough time blocking his Clem's in front and the play calling and Kendal brows if they're not careful he gets blown out of this football game in the first half Tommi Martin is on to punt [Applause] get it away Darian Kendrick Clemson has more touchdowns than Florida State has first downs [Applause] [Music] the famous a punt ruski call by the legendary Jean Decker Hoff the longtime voices Florida State football and basketball him Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL football for his 500 and first FSU game here's Dixon cutting it back [Applause] Dick's is able to get 216 yards that we should point out that was on tape the worst we mentioned the double duty Jean gets credit for today's broadcast is 501st from Florida State the airport will be on a jet plane the ears are playing in London tomorrow Tottenham that's a 9:30 Eastern time morning kick so do you came for a pork or a football waiting on the start way to put him on blast and all about transparency [Applause] Joseph in Ghana and on the blue rubber Awards that big arm it's been accurate in this football game us a tight window to the gada who is a budding star he's the next one in the line the true freshman has got a size [Applause] muscled out by emma price where Nagata stands out Greece's worries from he's from Folsom California he's the first California player for Clemson since Bobby Forbes in 1991 and the coaches kind of said that the he wasn't the other way around well it's become kind of wide receiver you right you got DP you you got running back you and you got wide receiver you and Clemson has been kind of where all these guys really want to go and why wouldn't you call Alabama first how unfair is that Clemson's gonna recruit California to that seems unfair to the other people [Applause] you get him the time watch his eyes one side aphelion finds Rogers over the middle of the field and Rogers with a miraculous recovery off that ACL in the spring you see that a brace on his right knee but for him to be playing now is really amazing wondered 66 days after it happened [Applause] carry on the football and it's an important position with our Martha Rodgers plays outside right he's the one responsible for taking over for Hunter Renfro who was honored before the game here with the burles work trophy they give to the walk out of the year in college football very very difficult guy to replace but Rogers will line up in the slot he's got man-to-man here if Florence wants second three Darien wrenchers checked it to throw [Applause] again going through his progression this is a double slant the inside slant right here he's not there watch Trevor longs to go from inside slant not there to outside slant that's exactly how you read that route and well executed from Trevor Lawrence [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] stewey you know said Alabama has something to say about that wide receiver you and he's right I think Alabama has the best set of wide receivers but I do think that Clemson over the last five six seven years going back to Mike Wallace and others new cop khun's they have had consistently better wide receivers in the last seven or eight years in Alabama and Justin Roscoe is the guy that got out of a state of Alabama [Applause] all right he's been here forever Isiah Simmons he's back I think everybody talks about the front for Brent Venables ever gone I really believe one of the biggest pieces that they lost off that team was Kendall Joseph - Mike linebacker who was just unbelievable football player be easy to replace scout skis has played a bunch and he's taken over his charge to them out what we really talks about Joseph Florida State [Applause] Florida State spends time out instead of a delay of game penalty fairly budget the tea from him leaving Todd where's it where's he got your big board chase Edmunds is I'm out scouting up a little bit the chest bump with his buddy went straight to the tack he's a thousand bucks richer Kendrick had the coverage the throw from James Blackman on that that ball a little bit under thrown if it's further out for Terry he can run underneath it he had to fight back to it and nice job by Kendra getting their arm in Molly what about black foot in there well that was the emotional leader of the team he was yelling encouragement at his teammates citycam makers next drop you could make a statement I'm looking at you [Music] Akers fighting there it's a loss of five on the play Tyler Davis brought him down she get that firing speech a good quarterback and it's a five-yard loss fire his visa like the capacitor Willy tagger likes the password from James Blackman but he's not the issue as you as the offensive line you want cam akers to make it right yeah try running behind his line and the loss exposes the offensive rod even further third and 15 they're really stressed [Applause] Xavier Thomas who's coming Florida State has made some strides but they haven't made strides up front this is a proud program they ran the ACC conference for a long time and if they're going to get back to competing with the Clemson's of the world it has to start on the offensive line until that gets corrected until Willie tagger this this coaching staff begins to recruit guys I can play up front it doesn't matter what Talent how many cam akers you have in the program they won't be able to compete [Applause] fourth punt from Tommy Martin because taking Florida State bounce picked up he runs out of the 45 in 79 is a significant year and and could provide a clue we'll get back to that shortly I spent two seasons with Gina Decker off the tampa bay buccaneers got to know him real well just he does everything right and respects the game we're joining us called a lot of greasy touchdowns Cornell Powell pick up a fumble and already clutched it is a spreading the wealth why why not they played a hundred and eleven players against Charlotte so to take their foot off the gas pedal it's certainly not this is a rivalry game in the ACC yeah the flow states down but this is a traditional rival and they will not take their foot off the gas by DT n is still in there and he'll get five on the flight and why would they I mean that was weenie right everybody's saying this I don't know if Clemson can afford to lose a game this season and still make the college football playoff it's I think it's different than here's patchy and so that will need style points and in the ACC which we know is down every game matters and how they win games matter so I think they're gonna continue to make a statement you have to think of North Carolina scores that two-point conversion that could have taken Clemson right out of the mix for good this season here's Lawrence under some pressure able to escape [Music] poor decision from Trevor Lawrence throw the football away way out of bounce as well do you see that left foot goes out of bounds he has to reestablish himself in bounds where she does with two feet and he controlled that ball to the ground he certainly got the feed in there's the one toe now does he control this ball to the ground the ball hits the ground which it can do as long as he can maintains control I think that's a good play by the national team and a poor decision [Music] Wow Nashville demons the leading tackler from Florida State [Applause] completes the tree Sean Harrison and Florida State looks for some kind of spark here that's the sixth interception on the season forever launch so he threw this season he was five through three games he's just gotta Scouse key comes up to make it stop they're so short in the back filled with papers and labor it's mocha beers from Florida State offensively our browser knows that he cannot run between the tackles so he tries a run on the perimeter right into the arms of their best defensive player [Applause] considered the best player on the field of that Clemson defense just watch the speed for number 11 he's tracking the quarterback he's on the opposite side and watch this closing [Applause] that's what makes the special shows exactly why he's going to be a top 10 top 15 pick in this upcoming draft if he comes out early guys that could cover like that can rush the quarterback and could play the run side in the sideline you just don't find many athletes Hendrik the fair catch up to the 45 we asked you a couple moments ago a select written question to you Decker huh what a three finalist of the Florida State football radio job in 1979 who were the other two finalists the answer a couple of legends in the business Tom knees and Craig Sager both gone far too soon for all of us Tommy's is go long the logged in the ESPN community craig sager national you know if you got to finish you know behind mode what a group of three writes that one job those three guys I mean that they may have all been at the pinnacle of their professions [Applause] to midfield now gain of six off a play live Jade Dixon and I teach 79 I reference that was a forced you to the SPN top knees promise doesn't get the Florida State job to say I'll go to Bristol as the ESPN Craig savory as the NBA genes head of the career that he's had it is it's a great trio professionally speaking [Applause] eight on the play wind under five left in this first half JC chalk is an interesting piece in this offense they've had some good tight ends and in the past no more Milan rashard and it was interesting watching the North Carolina tape from two weeks ago in crunch time situations when they used to go to Hunter Renfro and slock they went to JC chalk it wasn't hamari Rogers a huge first down late in that football game Lawrence throwing and completing that is a so that a pounds by national team chalks got some famous bloodlines to grease his grandfather's installers well he's he's got an opportunity you know he's he's not gonna be hunter Renfro you're not gonna find one of those guys but he's got an opportunity to be that move tight end to block in the run game to be on the end of line of scrimmage as you see him here now where he can run past path patterns and also block here's Lawrence Raja's bouncing off some people and it looks like an assistant for Florida State went down take a check of the sidelines for the several twenty-eight nothing in the first half of this football game with an opportunity here coming under three and a half minutes for Clemson to tack on some more points and there they're running misdirection throw backs they're not just lining up impoundment Florida State I will point out the Florida State gets the ball to begin the second half [Applause] sailed it over the head of in Ghana Stanford Samuels have the coverage their first downs in the game so far Florida State's got two of them Rumson at 17 it's interesting to hear to see Trevor Lawrence is running he's taking hits they you know they're gonna keep drilling it into Florida State as long as they can especially through the third quarter they they don't care they've got to get right on the offensive side they've got to get Trevor going that's exactly what's happening today [Applause] don't put up the space on the inside and Travis heat eat you alive ever since he had that 200 our Russian game against Georgia Tech teams have been focused on defenses have been focused on him but that's what makes this offense unique again his 13th carry will give him 89 yards for the game and he mentioned the Georgia Tech game in Greeson so an to bait the off game with a bad game even in their last action couple weeks ago really has not had a great season the opening game was great but people have been questioning what's going on with etn ever since that opener against Georgia Tech and the last game was just was the worst of the of the season so far but he has bounced back and among the biggest players pick up the Blitz that lead to a touchdown pass [Applause] they had the matchup they wanted Justin Ross on the true freshman from Florida State Bernardo Green Green gets his hand on the outside shoulder pad the official does not call it green does not look back for the football back they will throw the flag if there is some contact but green got away with Marlon Barnett the defensive coordinator of Florida State said he would be speaking rather nicely to the officials tell him to cut us a break pregame show maybe they got the benefit of doubt their ninth play of the drive upcoming call a timeout they were under 10 on the play clock third down that's a good time out from demo see Lawrence isn't happy about it either two-minute warning second here after the previous 11 at Michigan State it's large the ball carried out of the two water makes to stop the this crowd wants to go through I understand 20 chance to go up 35 nothing in the first time and they're going to bring in the beef they're bringing in Davison pick TPP right that's three words the full-back position and they're going to pound his ball they although get rudolph in there as well Mason's kid brother this is where Christian Wilkins me that made his money catching a football - this is another reason why kids want to come to Clemson especially defensive players here's a maharaj's off the pitch [Applause] Florida State Robert Cooper knocked it free and Warner able to jump on the ball I think that was Xavier Thomas there's two number three's that's Xavier Thomas the defensive end who's a great athlete they pitched him the ball hit me as a lead back and Xavier Thomas who doesn't carry the ball very often fumbles it wasn't going to get in any way and a great stop by Florida State defensively Thomas a former Wildcat quarterback in high school maybe Clemson got a look too cute their Greece had a look too much going on and a great hit by Hakeem dent a true freshman right on the football [Music] guys on defense started a tradition of giving for the last two Clemson possessions that his team's blackman from Missoula endzone lured up high and tree Sean Harrison able to bring it down good job hanging in there by Blackmon I'm standing about 15 yards away from five yards away from when he threw that ball he is so skinny he's put on 30 pounds and he's still so lady takes I think people freefall wiring okay wire tree Sean Harrison 8:05 on the plating some chunk yards here with 48 seconds lab Florida State those have two timeouts let's at least get off a scoreboard anyway they can't even a field goal but better than a goose egg the first first down [Applause] like that they give it back shorty Williams got a hand on the ball and Chad Smith able to pick it off we trade turnovers in the final 40 seconds that interception six-four 310 pounds he has been an outstanding find for Clemson with all of these here is right here with all of the guys that have left this program you gonna have to learn some of these new names and Jordan Williams has been consistent he gets a hand up forces that interception and Blackmun saw tre Sean Harrison I was standing right behind him you could see the passing window that he had he thought he had an opportunity to throw the ball down the seam and then the batted ball it's just nothing's going right for Florida State right now including somebody down on the ground for Florida State Keshawn help me Sivir sophomore you know you have these interceptions and then you got you guys running balls back you lose the spatial awareness guys are getting cracked block that's why the rules now are a little bit stronger on the crack back blocks they become defenseless players you can't hit them there's no more blindside blocks and this is trying to eliminate some of these kind of injuries on change of possession plays and hopefully Keyshawn helps all right Helton who is one of the bright spots in Florida State's lost last year to Clemson we had a 70 yard touchdown against the Tigers and that came in at 59 the 10 loss Blackmon come flying in there rocking out is the nephew of FSU alum and NFL Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks teammates come over to pay their respects speculated on the injury there when we talk to Kevin claws jumps out as a leader on this offense we could you rally around the first without hesitation the first players name out of his mouth was Keyshawn held consistent and unselfish player that he is she's got the hand raised in the air letting people family and friends back home in Pensacola Florida he's see we get a report on him 40 seconds left in the half and hard to imagine a worse first half well they had a lot of momentum this this game obviously first back-to-back ACC wins Willie Taggart and a bye week to try to get healthy and it just hasn't translated to the first half of this Lawrence you could not call it in stay tuned for the State Farm halftime report Kevin the Gandhi Jonathan Vilma Mark Sanchez standing by in the studio we'll get you caught up Dave date on everything going on around college football they spectacular Saturday around the nation here's why for Rogers sounded by his thirty-one ticks left third down coming back-to-back throws that Trevor Lawrence was just a little bit off this time he's trying to fit this ball into Amar'e Rogers you see the play fake and right now he releases it and here's Rogers right here that ball has to come this direction and it's got to be low and it's just high just sails off a little bit he's got such a live arms to you like he's got so much power and he generates so much sometimes he's got a dialing back and not throw the fastball [Applause] sort of 10 pushed out upcoming Santes samuel on the cupboard can't eat on the play bable went for on fourth down with the defensive line coming in I don't imagine he's good again he's going to keep the the offense out there and go for and this is all about attitude this is all about you know his communication to his players and listen I trust you I trust in these situations that you're going to execute what we have talked about during the course of the week and he has 28-nothing right I get that but this is more about dabble communicating to his players Clemson had two timeouts left they want to take a look now have one remaining 26 seconds left laughs kick off your NFL Sunday with the countdown true tomorrow before they square off for a match quarterback monitor motto Russell Wilson and Baker Mayfield sit down and talk it out Plus Peyton Manning goes 100 with bread farm and then on Monday night should be a beauty NFC North battle Matthew Stafford leads the Lions to Lambeau will take on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers restore the roar what would it surprise you if I said the Lions have beat the Packers four consecutive times yeah they feed the Chargers this year [Music] Patricia Oh Horace look at that Patricia has the lives of him they opened up with that ugly tie remember to start the season since then they've been good so they're not gonna go on forth the to took the time out thought about BG Potter will come on to attempt a 24 yard field goal that one said I'm not gonna go for I need to get my kicker so much missed it to the right look at clip hey dabbles have a rough week this is dabba doesn't have too many bad weeks that was out a rough week and even up 28 to nothing he's gonna let people hear about it he's trying to get the entire team ready he knows what's down the road knows what this team is capable of and you can't get where you want to go without a kicker a reliable kicker and right now he's not sold on BT pop he just said Potter packing game the motion of Potter started walking away he's still yell he's still hot about it you got to be if you're gonna do this to the kicker in front of the entire stadium an entire country watching this right you got to be sure that you got somebody else you can rely on because the psyche of Potter's Wiki backup kicker easy fifth year senior I also think the dalbol realizes he's not going to need a field goal late in this game to win so he's not so concerned about the confidence of his kicker today is he can work on it during the week labor has the first down go tot with no time but it's not like it's the first time he's had a Greg high goal right last was 42 19 and they want a national championship so he's got to figure this out tough to imagine this one going worse for Florida State it's all Clemson State Farm halftime report that confidence beaten down in the first half second ranked Clemson with a 28 to nothing lead welcome you back inside the broadcast booth Steve Levy along with Brian Griese and Tony Elliott the offense coordinator for Clemson said after the one-point win against North Carolina met with the kids on Monday morning it said we have your attention now they clearly have their attention and you saw that in the first a lot of focus both on the offensive and defensive sides you know we've talked about offensively what's wrong can they get Travis etn going he's been going Trevor Lawrence been just fine healthy and then on the defensive side they put continue to play consistently under only for first downs for Florida State offensive zone touch back just as we went to halftime Molly talk with Dabo coach you were very frustrated with that miss field goal what's your message to Potter at the half I don't know if I say that right now that's ridiculous so lay up I mean it's just disappointing he wasn't ready what he's doing I'm disappointed with the last Drive you know we should have we should have came away with points on one of those last two drives but hey we've got a great half really a great proud of our guys that we're ready to play great energy great focus creating couple turnovers some big plays offensively they've really played well Traver just lost his mind for a second think it made great play but he should have just thrown it away let's put the ball about this disappointed we didn't come we're poised right there so next time I'll go for it Thank You coach that was Potter's fourth miss of nine attempted field goals I thought this was cool right after halftime he came out obviously he was upset and but he talked him up in the moments right you're gonna you're gonna do what you need to do as a coach on the sidelines and then you come out Davalos Sweeney one of the best in the business if not the best the psychology standpoint to bill Potter back up not mess selling for today [Applause] find yourself in another one-point game on third down and one Blackmon walk away cam Akers could not haul it in Blackmon had him wide open could have been a big play this is a byproduct of Blackmon not feeling like he's got the protection he has to run outside he can't set his feet he's got to throw these balls on the move and when you're running to your right trying to throw a fit to a wide open receiver naturally the balls gotta feed to the outside [Music] my product of Florida State right they dial up the perfect play they get the rubber out their best player cam akers open and they can't punt number six in the afternoon for Tommy cats take a look at today's Pacific Life game summary it's been all the Clemson Tigers and Trevor Lawrence this is the first drive by taking a shot from very first play down the field Tootie Higgins see nice job and throw this ball out in front let him go and then go through progressions inside slant on the outside slant that's exactly how you're supposed to do it inside the five-yard line and Trevor Lawrence for everything everybody's been talking about yeah he's human right he's gonna make some mistakes he's gonna throw some intersections he did that in the first half too but there's nothing wrong with him Travis he Tian before did gain of 8 that was actually one of the headlines this week coach says that Lawrence is human if we forget that and so dabble got a call or text message midweek from a member of the media saying what's up with Lawrence's shoulder did he have an MRI and and that really got Dabo got him hot he said look we give them our eyes all the time right guys get all my eyes all the time we're not gonna announce with every single player gets the name alright but there is no drama here at Clemson and Davo has accused some members the media trying to stir things up a little bit yeah but I think one one thing he would admit what Tony Elliot did admit when we met with him is that and what Trevor Lawrence admitted is he hasn't been himself he hasn't played as good as he did a year ago he's kind of thought too much tried to do too much he just needs to trust the offense and that's what he's done in this game trust to the playmakers around what is here as just enough that'll keep the drive alive Florida State is gonna get a little bit of help back in this second half of generis Robinson we saw him in the first half sitting in the tunnel watching his iPad and now he finally gets a chance without hit somebody [Applause] good look into the eyes of Trevor Lawrence [Applause] inside the 30 after a gain of 20 70 great block by the center Sean Paul or he's just gonna pull around here to the outside they've had some great centers some great players Jake gar mo Justin Paulson Ali and Shawn Pollard has moved from the tackle position he's played both tackles right and left her in his career and a critical component of this Clemson offense is moving him to center bombard a year ago and he's been up to the task of very smart football etienne over 3,000 yards rushing for his career here's a more [Applause] James James 29 yards for six and this is starting to look very similar to last year's meeting in Clemson beat Florida State 59 to 10 they had a forty five nothing lead a year ago one-upping the worst proud program history tying for the worst loss for the espn.com class Taco Bell attention ladies in the hashtag live mas vt Potter kicks it away for Clemson but we should point out it was not Potter who kicked the extra point by the last touchdown for Clemson Stevens so wiki is the fifth year senior from Fayetteville North Carolina and he had a couple of extra points earlier in the season that's his first three for three maybe dabbles making us papers there be a permanent move the Potter and he missed not only today but he missed a 33-yard in Syracuse at forty yard two weeks ago against Carolina so this is something that he's gonna have to figure out well start offense number 51 five-yard penalty first down you may you may go the old put the signs out on campus have a tryout for kickers but we had a contest winner now they all Stabler he mr. bucks it's my concern for Florida State good that you had done the last three weeks the two victories the bye week they came with a little swagger hold your head up high still have confidence still feel good about where your program is headed but not the way this is going at 35 to nothing he stepped into a difficult spot he said the first job I had when I took the job was to stop the downward spiral he said Florida State has never been in this position no one knew had a handle so so he really did and now it's now trying to turn it upward and gether had the two victories back-to-back wins in the conference against Louisville and NC State and had the guys believing and feeling good about themselves I think he was disappointed the way last year way I don't think he fought but that school every year was was in his future and I think in the last three years in 15 and 15 see this is or as they put your a they have not been situated [Applause] there is a flag down as Turner is tripped up along the Florida sideline and a bunch more flags come into play now but Turner has the pick will see if it stands this is the same story for Florida State they can't protect the quarterback but you have a quarterback in black man who wants to make a play wants to make something happen he's got the high energy wants to take a shot and all that together kind of ends up being an interception we've seen this throughout Blackmun's career first game played against alabama we saw the same kind of plays and it's frustrating if you're Kendall Briles because you just don't have the pieces upfront to really put an offense together and smoke and mirrors eventually is going to be busted open by a defensive front against this offensive line up next on Florida State schedule by the ways is Wake Forest I don't think they've lost yet undefeated five no Dave clausten's a heck of a football coach there are two files on the play holding defense illegal block in the back against the offense 10-yard penalty first down [Applause] there were a lot of hankies a lot of dirty laundry on the field those are the two penalties they chose on the holding will be enforced 10 yards from the previous spot [Applause] holding on Clemson and that's the one that's going to be accepted wipes out the interception they didn't give us the number on who they called it on and ablis we need like to know who they called it on as well we're with you coach just give us a number Nolan Turner is a really good story for Clemson lost his dad to ALS his dad Kevin played with dabble at Alabama than seven years in the NFL with both the Patriots of the Eagles got an opportunity here to come to question place with cook sweet the middle of not see any of this not want the contact and isaiah simmons lets them know about it that will likely be what the flag is for I think it might be gone Blackmun actually yeah always the second guy right well Blackmun ran away from Simmons Simmons had something to say to him look like some taunting Oh Blackmun didn't like it so Blackmon got up shoved him and I think they're gonna call this on black there are two files on the play unsportsmanlike conduct against the defense number 11 bucks for school a conduct against the offense number one results of the plane is second down this is their first unsportsmanlike for both players get tuning in ejectives like in Oklahoma Texas today everybody got that official right there the side judge can hear exactly what Simmons was saying black [Music] [Music] we could understand Florida [Applause] which makes the stop here makes focused Gaeta for all the play I feel bad foolish Cammie cam akers coming in this game at 115 carries and you can see block defensive player he's thinking a lot been a programmed percent [Applause] and the Tigers are pouring it on there is a flag down on the field [Applause] celebration nature the officials are discussing [Music] [Applause] [Music] touchdown I think you should have been out after the play unsportsmanlike conduct gets the return team number 12 let's keep on Wallace Blackman is neat he is - up and down it's a rollercoaster with him and I can't it all up in that situation [Music] kayvon Wallace sports car like but he came and hit can makers low in the knee which I don't like Wiki on the board out of the hole [Applause] this has got away [Applause] every which way happened for Florida State was Clemson winning by just one point at North Carolina two weeks ago that got everybody's attention their antenna up and then two weeks to story and self scouting out to the 28 yard line so TJ's out again this week Tom Jax will shake it off that Achilles injury so Ryan Clark is back back back back back with Hoover on NFL pronzo tomorrow 7:30 get ESPN plus download the app or go to espn.com tonight [Music] daniel Jones update topic sure how are we feeling now I just just like facts I'd like to I'd like to look at the numbers last couple weeks you tell me Greece I think it was either six or eight weeks come talk to you in six we will talk a weekend weekend trendy we trended up now we're going a little time out shaky florida state their force thirty seconds about this guy so we're quoting McShea with McShea by gosh I have no idea it's just me kind of needle in your back that's giving it back Todd's gonna start there referring to himself there's Reggie - Reggie Jackson [Music] tough job [Applause] got everything for that Tigers defense today ah doctor on top of that wall that he compiled finally gets a little bit of running [Applause] and forces the third [Music] nice job secondary part of the defense [Applause] Trevor Lawrence might take the rest of the afternoon off so how to chase splice [Applause] recovers Dennis Briggs for the Seminoles so for the second time this afternoon the teens trade turtle was within a player two the ground last week and that made dabbles skin crawl now Lin Jay Dixon back up we continued dr. members championship try but last three plays that actually that last handoff was a welcome play because from prior Florida State has their fourth second half already that's amazing Hornibrook I think we've seen the last of James black rice who's too erratic at this point to go back in this football game [Applause] protection throw it away Donnell moly Steve a little injury update for Florida State their safety Cyrus Fagan is in street clothes on the sidelines he has a boot on his left leg and he couldn't put weight on it in the first half and also Willie Taggart at halftime told me he didn't know if wide receiver Keyshawn Helton would return but he is not here on the sidelines Steve Molly thank you is a tough day for Willie Taggart tough day for them in this Florida State program I don't think they come in here expecting to win but you can't have a good showing can't hang in with the number two team in the country forty Brooks sailed that one over tree shun heresy and it brings up a pushdown it matters when you're trying to rebuild a program like Willie Tiger it is it matters how you lose nothing positive to come out of his football game just joined it on offense haven't found any kind of rhythm and this is not the cleanse of defensive last hip clubs and defense but it's not the smothering defense that it was a year ago and then defensively they have been outmatched and Harlan Barnett tried to change the style of defense they played this I can get into the year and and certainly brought in Jim let it but it is and so they they have got to find some answers and I've got to do it quickly make sure you kick off your NFL SUNDAY tomorrow with the countdown crew Russell Wilson and Baker Mayfield sit down and talk with each other plus our Patrick mahomes hairstyle has taken Casey by storm go that direction that Monday night Matthew Stafford the Lions take on Aaron Rodgers the Packers 8 p.m. Eastern ESPN on the watch the Matt Lafleur Aaron Rodgers relationship in Green Bay taz Malusi his first carry of the game and he gets one yard a chance I beg your pardon and chance Lucy fresh - fresh me from Naples Florida 14th rush attempt of the season it's good to see chase price get some some reps he comes into this game touchdowns in some mop-up duty but you know people remember especially the club's unfaithful remember last year how important he was in that Syracuse game to keep Clemson's undefeated and national championship season intact so he is beloved here in Death Valley Cornell POW that was the game at Syracuse the 94 yard drive to overcome a fourth quarter deficit he came in in relief for Trevor Lawrence that was the same way that Kelly Bryant left the team Chace Bryson old enough to have a beer but they'll never have to pay for one there we always have that right his back pocket but basically save the season yeah right they lose to Syracuse there is no national championship or playoff fallen remember everybody was saying what a mistaken was for Kelly Bryant to lead the program because Trevor Lawrence gets hurt he wanted that plane CJ chased the intended target flag throw this on Bernardo green the true freshman corner pass interference defense number 36 15-yard penalty course down right the corners in great position he's playing the football and there's a bad ball yeah he's not just by pulling on the receiver that's a bad call I agree with that one demo still coaching them up well 42 to nothing 659 left here in the third the floor back shoulder to that god that's incomplete [Music] and the faithful are growing restless in Tallahassee Greece when they have their home game again as you would expect its Louisville they had their smallest home crowd in 36 years I stood 42,000 there but faceted don't gamble is 79,000 you see some of the Florida State fans in attendance but they've had some down time and I'll repeat what I said before no one would know how to handle tears Malusi again first down to Kennedy and it's not a lack of effort I mean this still have the starters out these guys are fighting and giving everything that they have they really are you can just see on the field but it's a lack of talent that's really the issue they they won had two players drafted last year yes one for everybody the other one was a right now I only have one player in Florida State in top 150 just by comparison they were averaging from 2013 players draft of the year so the talent level is not there right now they're young they're trying to work both of them you can see the effort is there it's just a real struggle to try to keep up with teams like this and it's shocking to see from Florida State program that has been a powerhouse for so many years that was Tyson Puma Chang the true freshman from Bridgeport Connecticut getting into the action there and it's a fourth and one tie they also have to develop the town - right I mean class not too long ago four or five years ago so they have to do they have to develop that talent that's and some more flags this is going to go against Florida State dabbles said this week that Florida State is out recruited Clemson in five of the last six classes to find out recruit well right that's that's what he's saying must be some stars involved in those plays on defense [Applause] we've seen a collapse offense defense and special teams for Willie Tiger but a big job ahead of this is not going to be a quick turnaround and the first order of business as we talked about town on the offensive line second order of business they got to find a quarterback it's not james black but it's not gonna be Alex pointy but going forward so he's got to find a quarterback now he's competing against Florida he's competing against my UCF it's the same people he's competing against for the talent but at Florida State you should be able to get plenty of talent and then it's up to you to vote Michael dukes is in the backfield Leonard Warner we mentioned the fans growing restless you remember this heated the game in Tallahassee last year that's the Florida State professor Bruce Dyer he was found reading Gillian Flynn's dark places that's the name of the book how apropos friends to said he took his daughter to the game with her friends things were getting out of hand I was getting cold so I took my shirt off got the Sun my daughter and her friends went home and started reading a book that went viral if you will on the Internet DeAndre Overton will check the flag here defense number 11 five-yard penalty while having some fun with the picture and the Restless fanbase the Florida State what was serious was the quote after that game from Lilly Taggart he said first time since I've been here but like we have some guys that quit on our football team that can't be tolerated one thing you can't do you can't quit quit you don't play we always hear about this changing of the culture of these programs right seems we've gotten the quitters out of the program late last season into this season well it's just about showing up on and God has got the first down you could tell me we try to find worthy effort the offensive and defensive lines and as you watch this Florida State defensive line there's some reserves in there now but they have not stopped rushing the passer that's where you find it first generis Robinson played the first half and he's a piece that you can can build around he's a junior we'll be back next year you saw Emmett Rice there he's another junior Jalil McRae I think is a young freshman linebacker with a lot of talent you're gonna potentially lose some of these guys up front Marvin Wilson may declare for the draft Robert Cooper is a sophomore and get dirt him back there's pieces to build a lot of defensive like Gator to taking a shot for Nagala over the shoulders he'll be interesting to see what happens with Harlan Barnett and Jim Letten two guys that have been fallen defenses boy [Music] for a long time rent one style of Defense one front one coverage predominantly and now they have changed and Willie Taggart wants to be more multiple which is more of what Jim Leavitt does well so it'll be interesting to see what happens with the play calling for Florida State defensively as this season goes on third down 12 that's dukes in the backfield price step it up get a couple called for and I bring up fourth down Leavitt was brought in after the Louisiana Montreux game and Taggert said Louisiana Monroe was taking advantage of our defense I'm gonna repeat that can you imagine Louisiana Monroe was taking advantage of the Florida State defense you can imagine that freeze ever uttered yet it was Jim Levin had already sort of been around the program they've been somewhere think it's get they talked back in May and then it finally developed and Levitt was brought on board you know Willie felt like Harlan was reverting back to the old style of defense where he felt that's not what he wanted to do for phonate and cops are still going for it chase price I don't think they got but you know the devil wasn't going to attempt a field goal there huh guess not that's what he told Molly she would Florida at the other death valley corta Brooks in there at quarterback by Terry there Hudson came in ranked number two and a lot of people said they didn't deserve to even be in the top four and that put up a lot of conversation among them Dabo saying don't waste my time yeah we're the preseason number one I'm still waiting on that trophy there's no trophy coming via the top leg you know we've we've been around that list we need in a long time now ever since he got the job here at clubs and I don't think he's you know that's just coach Pete I truly believe that I think his team believes that I think one difference this year guys in town I'd be interested in your perspective on this too is I don't believe that they can afford to lose a game like they did in 2016 to Pittsburgh last year to Syracuse and still get in I think the strength of the field and I know Clemson lost today but even a one loss I'm sorry Georgia loss today I won lost Georgia's not out of it I think that for them to get back here's Terry down the sideline Temari and terry to end zone and Florida State will not be shut out 63 yards [Music] Temari Antares by far their most explosive playmaker at the receiver spot this was a slant to the inside and he's fair to Jones two freshmen and you see the explosiveness to the end zone too little too late boys day seven of Terry's 13 career touchdown catches 40 yards or longer now fine with em 60 yards for longer he is their big play he's a Clemson kind of receiver yeah he's their t Higgins sighs the other thing is who is Clemson gonna play in the championship game right Virginia losing to Miami on Friday night that hurts that hurts down yeah I says Virginia was probably the best a mess how it could it could be North Carolina which would not now actually be the worst thing if they can avenge a 1-point you know game against Carolina the Atlantic's no great shakes but they have Clemson we have volley we'll see Trevor Lawrence would agree with you guys he told me they can't afford a loss this year saying that could derail their run for the playoff especially with all the negative talk about their ranking and their schedule and during the bye he stood in front of his team and he said we have a month and a half left of this regular season that's not a lot of time we need to lock in be committed and do all the little things right to extend our season another couple months and he said that loss to UNC was a wake up they're not doing that again this sort of has been the the Clemson game plan though they goes you mention the loss they don't usually come out hot out of the starting gate and they really do seem to grow as a program as one game seemed to be this one but now it's not this one but but you know what Donald dad was when he said this because we need it first we haven't had any adversity I had no idea how the team was going to respond to adversity and when they were in a tight ball game on the road against Carolina to find a way to win even if you win by one point and it's stopping the two-point conversion that kind of adversity for Trevor Lawrence and the rest of the team is something that Davos Sweeney covets that was the first game against Carolina that was the first game in Trevor Lawrence his college career in which he's been in a fourth quarter game where the outcome had not been decided so think about that show opportunity to learn to grow face some adversity devil still a lot of teams would have lost that game yeah and so you know it was a teaching coaching moment well look at this people forget the championship games last year right you would think ACC championship game maybe be closed no 32 points they went by the semi-final against Notre Dame they beat him 32 3 and then the unthinkable yeah and then that blow the doors off Alabama by 28 so Trevor Lawrence has never been in a close fourth quarter game right the Syracuse game he was hurt right in there so exactly that game against they're on a 20-game winning streak Clemson is and devil did the man's boss he said we'd have to go 30 you know to win the national championship this year so what he's saying is it's a let's look at the whole thing right what he's saying is he doesn't think that they can lose the game and make it either well that's true but he's saying look at the entire body of work don't judge us on the conference or the games this season has anybody gone 30 in a real 30 and OH to win a couple of national championships back-to-back well they were the first ones to win the college football playoff national championship being undefeated so so let me get two years ago be amazing it's not a Lifetime Achievement Award you know it's got to be based off of what this team is this year and what we've seen fire - today there are questions I was questioning the talent level we we've seen a little bit different or they look a little better in the box school tomorrow as we continue dr. peppers championship drive game of the week [Music] we'll spires is back to punt second punt of the day for Clemson [Music] to stay three well yesterday Stephen a and Max and Molly from First Take we're on in Steven they got a crack demo are you worried at all that the reigning defending national champions could go undefeated and not have an opportunity to reference to defend your crown in the college football players because they don't put you in that you worried about it it's a steal your work question question was a lot longer than the answer sort of a journalistic no no but Davos Stephen I actually spent some quality time I don't think he picked them up the airport but they spent some extra time together [Applause] and that was part of the reason that ste today and Molly and Max and the true first date came to Clemson and said we had sort of bent I owe an apology and Steven and she spoke to the team [Music] dressed the Clemson player video made up [Applause] they are enjoying this 42 to 7 score notice I noticed even a came on a weekend where the students weren't here let's let's make this point very clear Dabo didn't have Stephen a in there to talk motivation to the team though always more intersting or entertainment personal references sample brought up the the ROI bus this week it was time to dust it off boy buses Roy stands for Babla got moved a headed after number one back to the rest of y'all the ROI bus get there Logan Rudolph made sure of it while talking about Logan Rudolph it is the kid brother of Mason the starting quarterback of the Steelers was knocked down with a concussion last week wish the best for Basin devil in the Hodges against the Chargers undrafted raid before you even asked Thank You Afton free agent you had over the first round right now on that they were not expected see the third string on sunday night football against the charge to LSU Georgia nobody saw about Wisconsin make a playoff but if they if they go undefeated go to the Big Ten championship and be to Iowa State obviously they would be in I had that game of having no chance of being a blowout I thought that would be much closer to game coming up tonight here on ABC shortly after we get through Penn State in Iowa we have first-hand experience Saturday night Kinnick yeah we know about the magic we were there a couple years ago for the Ohio State game pick six on the opening offensive snap for the Buckeyes and so what are we expecting there to know when they stay on he's got to play better than jail Penn State's offense to score a bunch of points forty seven point they haven't played anybody okay that seems to be a theme well around McGee Brown they played Pitt right it was 1710 that's it you know neither well I think this is gonna be more of a defensive struggle game that most people think legal one give it up more than 17 points in a single game issue [Music] yeah Penn State has struggled in some spots they trailed Buffalo at halftime see how that plays out tonight Todd any thoughts on that one looked like a good win till they got smoked by producer now Purdue looks like a little bit of a better win well I'll tell you this the next three games for Penn State right there's this game they're gonna play Michigan at home next week in primetime and then on the road at Michigan State Michigan State's a better football team than what they're putting on tape today especially defensively although a lot more about Penn State after this three-game stretch Michigan really struggled at Illinois today they got a lot of work to do to make that game need that much okay are there that defensive front you can put up there you know some of the top-tier talent in terms of the entire country it's Leonard Warner the junior linebacker so file all offense number 14 in Necessary Roughness 15-yard penalty horse down we saw Marvin Wilson the defensive attack will come and help Warner off the field Marvin Wilson's I think he's a piece that we'll eat agar hangs around here doesn't decide to go to the NFL but you could build on next season he's a leader captain a great football player but if I had to bet I would say he's probably gonna take his towel see marvin wilson's a guy his first experience his first visit the florida state was a Clemson game and the Seminoles lost that game 37 34 but Wilson said the atmosphere at Doak Walker that game was a top 5 moment for him eating him play he was here on the team but that's where he first fell God a football lots of prospects for him time he's their best interior pastor and we look at the NFL right now and it's really you would rather have an interior pass rusher it can get get home and disrupt the quarterback then an edge guy and so I I agree Brian I think he's gonna wind up leaving after this year I'm not saying he's the first round talent but he's not gonna last till the Thursday talk about first or second maybe third round at the worst but again if he continues to improve as an interior passing us rep that's where you make the money here's what all my channel my Mel Kiper doesn't he have him 14th on his big boy attack no gets ahead of me player that mel has where he has there not until close to the draft when they make me look at his mantra hey so let's look at Marvin will student what jumps out to you guys of the 300 3:11 six-foot-five what's odd about that picture right there y'see 1:21 beautiful birdie on yeah well that would make sense but except he's a defensive tackle so we asked him about the I figured you know I hope the manager gave it to me and I said so why 21 and all he said was savage he says I'm a seven and the three of us look at each other and Molly's shaking her head Molly's the old one and a half of us got it twenty-one Savage of course people a lot a lot a lot [Laughter] be careful those lyrics money yeah that's right Steve I know that reference was a little bit over your head I'm closer in age to some of these guys fun with it we'll bring you back here the old-timers still calling the game [Music] but he came out today he was efficient right we heard that word efficient from Dabo from Tony Elliott and the offensive staff they wanted him to be efficient they weren't the office to be more efficient and they were right from the jumps going up warm 35-nothing in the first half and Florida State's back to James Blackman quarterback Alex Hornibrook and played the last four possessions in a crystal ball caviar there they going back and forth I keep waiting for Jordan Travis to check in the game either third string quarterback to Clark's thing you know these are the little things but watching Trevor Lawrence in the second half is talking to coaches he's got his head in the game trying to learn still a young player and still get better as a boreback there's a scary thing but he's been engaged you know what he's headed to be talked about this at the opens have to take more leadership right when you lose guys like Leland Farrell and mr. Wilkins you don't have you know players to assume that leadership only friends throw an offense to they look at the quarterback and when you're the best player on the best team in the country you're gonna have that on your shoulders and Trevor Moore's may not be as vocal as those other guys but he has to assume that leadership [Applause] [Applause] just too far for Terry Todd I remember during the draft process last year we were having some photos a hypothetical that if Lawrence was available would have been a bet he would have been the number one overall pick in the draft a year ago I think it's very likely now there will be wild card there is it quickens very you know came in with the system and it had his guy so but I think if you hold the average of all 32 teams I think the vast majority would have said that law number one player in the class coming coming off of that Alabama game the way he played that was special and I still think he would be the first overall tour you know everything's about tanking for to the Gulf things already I think he still would be despite some of the weaknesses that we've seen in his game and I think next year when he is eligible who wind up being the first overall pick that Florida State Drive was six plays that was the longest drive they've had all day in the country the smoking pig I know every visit we make the Clemson we find some opportunity to either stop at the pig or have the pig stop by us on Clemson the home games the smokin Pig sells over 1,500 pounds of meat they're only a third of it they're only open three days a week Friday Saturday to be a full-court gun yeah I still love don't make che I think last year McShane and I had chopped brisket sandwich and we all agree we drive by it on the way but from away bash tonight to boa and yet we're all amazed how good the coleslaw is the coleslaw is impressive because you know there's a lot of attention to detail there it's much like Dabo you know they don't put the sauce on until the day off stays crunchies we'll be fine chocolate stays crunchy that's key Mimi it gets moonshots if we put it in like three days before what mu Shosh pass interference he's number 29 15-yard penalty first down machine Wow Federation translation I don't the google it but I find after my three days visiting Clemson I crave a piece of salmon [Music] McShane I had fish last night you could have had fish but you did a steak house I have steak traditionalist Tyson Puma Chan is at quarterback for Clemson two freshmen Bridgeport Connecticut of the forest down the Bridgeport Connecticut which is not too far from the estimates worldwide headquarters burst I was watching him throw the ball zip on the ball obviously BC his running ability is size 6 3 225 [Music] I'm trying to get Ben and Tom to count up how many players much today see if they approach the 111 they used it Charlotte I don't even know how that is feasible they average 81 players per game first of all they're blowing some people out on the team travel so many producer Billy Val Palladino says they played 75 so far today Frank latched that's a Frank's first catch to freshmen for Miami Clemson does attract them from all over the mention California too quite a wrong the Davos sweetie in these Clemson Tigers [Music] [Applause] I think maybe as you look at their schedule going forward maybe the most difficult game with Wake Forest here in Death Valley on their quest to get another national championship that's November 16 that you would make that tougher than the rivalry game against might change things but when does the last time Clemson lost the South Carolina tree it's been quite a while you know I got my best people on it they don't lose the south caramel but there you go I mean this is this game right here against Wake Forest I agree but you got to look at Wake Forest schedule - I mean Utah State hi Henry North Carolina basically Boston College by three I'm not saying it's a strong schedule that's like that's why I think they can't afford to lose any of them wake plays at Louisville tonight in about 45 minutes now I got to be honest I didn't know wake was prank there at 19 from the country that's good please you see street cred a shot at the end zone is knocked away Asante Samuel was beaten for a couple of big plays early on Samuels father by the same name of 11 year NFL career strong with the Patriots the Eagles the Falcons and they will attempt the field goal and it will be Steven Sawicki he has yet to attempt a field goal for Clemson transferred from NC AMT kept a couple extra points and this will be a 26-yard field goal attempt [Music] three [Applause] specific live games summary and it Tigers 45 to 7 yeah they got back to the balance we're on the football or Travis etn he got nicked up a little bit in the first quarter but there's able to come back and the one-two punch of here Jay Dixon was effective and then pretty much perfect day outside of one interception warning mistake by Trevor Lawrence the rest of it was smooth sailing Koecher woman even in a 45-7 game if the proc wines under five minutes left to play here in the fourth quarter all second ranked Tigers in the defending champs home here today in Clemson so it is no coincidence the four of us all have a touch of pink on in Molly's case a lot of pig can find her all day long it is October that is Breast Cancer Awareness Month we're thinking about those or dealing with that that horrendous disease right now yeah means a lot to me and my family my mom had breast cancer I know there's so many people out there that are dealing with it have dealt with it and has touched their life and always a special time when we get to to spend time with those folks and pay low-fat Amish [Applause] [Music] and Steve we picked the perfect game for this to States cheerleaders update pom-poms cleansings cheerleaders have pink bows in their hair so everyone is supporting breast cancer awareness one in eight women in the US will get breast cancer in their lifetime so this is a great cause that we're giving awareness for put some pink on people in October think about it every month focused on of course in the month of October increase you wonder the last time a South Carolina beat Clemson yes my best people I put them on it and got back to me 2013 I'm not I'm not I'm not worried about the official foul roughing the passer with targeting defense number six 15-yard penalty automatic first down the play is under further review Mike Jones redshirt freshman from Nashville the shot on James Blackmon yeah and that was the prototypical right launch you saw him launch and you saw him use the crown of the helmet which you can hit a player anywhere on their body with the crown of the helmet and that be targeting doesn't have to be the head or neck area it was one of the changes yep and so it doesn't really matter if he hits him in the head or neck area which it looks like he kind of hit him in the neck let's see the crown there yup and the launch good launch up out of the Crouch position gosh James Blackman he takes some of the wickedest shots of any quarterback in college football because of the line obviously is one problem his size six five and how slight he is at 195 why are a huge target and it came up talking about quarterbacks playing behind a you know a struggling offensive line and so people were asking you about he's well yeah maybe one or two guys struggling not not all five at the same time well Kendall bras him standing right there he looked at me said you you've been through this before I said coach honestly no I have never been on an offense our team that had this many question marks on the offense on maybe one you know but you can account for that right you slide the Pachanga chip you know manage that maybe two on one side but not five and they just don't have any answers upfront right now and I give James Blackman credit he is he's not played great but I give him credit for one thing and that's toughness this kid is tough as nails because to take some of these shots he's taken today he does that every week and if you're a little gun-shy it's understandable then because he's taken so many hits he knows it's coming when Hornibrook started last week he was sacked eight times that's a florida state record don't quarterback getting sacked in one game that was sustained see the call here after further review there is no file for targeting the file for roughing passer is still enforced 15 yards horse down so they don't pick up the flag but the players not ejected and remains a clean slate as far as targeting so the highlight of my day so far today Greece yeah I walked in very nice young lady doing security outside the press box here and that she say excuse me she said are you Bob Griese to me so now I wasn't gonna help her either okay Brian I would have given her a break but she wanted to know if I was Bob Griese and I said no I understand he's a very nice man so you take not tonight [Applause] god I could use alone please bag somebody [Music] play was down there so tourists they will maintain possession Dabo still coaching him up he wants a timeout he wants to do it he wants to look at that last play let's go back and take a look again he was ruled down that's there by McDonald two feet knee down and that's the right call Clemson is challenging the ruling on the field of a completed cats that play is under further review nothing if not consistent devil playing 60 don't give it in 60 whether America wants them to or not mention Wake Forest she's originally the ruling on the field is confirmed clemson has charged a timeout 30 seconds [Applause] it's about the only thing dad will lost today right he'll be bothered by that too Clemson is in search of their 750th all-time victory here today I like their chances of getting it that would put them on 15 programs in the history 150 year history of college football with 750 wins and they do the first ACC program to get there [Music] tonight on the way that's cane Patterson true freshman out of Brentwood Tennessee and you know we were talking with Dabo Swinney he was telling us he wanted to get these young linebackers more reps Kayne Patterson and bail inspector they wanted to get him in the game early and he was encouraging Brent Venables to just put him in there I am that's been their philosophy a little crunch time when it matters and came pounding Zane Patterson has been doing then more and more and he's a bright young star on this defense [Applause] still throwing Matthews did a good job to go up to get it eighteen yards on the play [Music] rose's he's falling and Matthews could not hang on Mike Jones had the coverage for Clemson [Music] last week throwing off balance and that means Blackman one of the craziest stories I've ever seen yeah last week was unbelievable by hornoff input but they're under so much dress they don't want to give up on the play that they're off a lot of times wrong from a foxhole [Music] [Applause] [Applause] dogs get there touchdown Caitlin laybourne the Leybourne is and spelling cam akers this season touches in this game in the second half we see the speed to finish be it against the second team be faster function [Applause] kicking game is good an adventure Florida stream there's Ricky of who I am field goals at home have been the issue not on the road not a neutral site not extra points put through and it's 4514 with 241 left coming into this season the question marks for Clemson were not on the offensive side they were on the defensive side on all the losses on that defensive line but I think it's been the most surprising thing really is that this decent his defense has has stood up as we take a look at today's brunch time brought to you by cheese it's the defensive line Rytas then plugging the run game for Florida State and cam akers not allowing them an inch and being in the gaps got Pinkney Davis Jordan Williams the linebackers have been in position jinx call skiing and Chad Smith they driven this offensive line back and given no room to run breakers the great side for Clemson which a question mark coming into the season has really been a statement through the first 16 priests have you picked out a spot first tonight ABC your Penn State Iowa yeah well going for your floor to LSU the big night leaving get on that plane we'll see about that best bet can drive I'll tell you what I'll watch LSU anywhere any time this season I just love watching Kojo on the game day the sport yes right and how he has an office now scored 54 a game be honest we we had Joe burrow last year we had a vibe for sat down and talked to him like a lot of things about him did you ever see this coming from the way he's playing now how aggressive in and it is recovered by clenching I'll tell you what did jump Alcala Todd was the confidence that borders on being cocky and we saw that right after the Texas game the wave I think you gotta have a little bit of that and he's gonna go up against the great Florida defense tonight Todd Grantham you know it's gonna have something cooked up for him but I think the person that nobody's talking about on LSU's team we're talking about Justin Jefferson on his Claire we watched Mills tape on him last week Todd I mean that that guy is a game break tonight could be a Heisman kind of game for Perot right if he's got to be in the no question she got defensive front seven but if he does something tonight against Florida again if he wasn't already there you gotta throw him right at the top it's amazing how much college football is not about the level of competition you play against Clemson gets the the negative side of that with their conference in their schedule yeah it's kind of a blessing and a curse they're fully capable and should run the table right yep ain't Dabo says hey I'll win every game by one point one point and if they win the ACC they're probably he pumps in his ink yeah well inside you say you know it can't be a legacy gift either has to be based on the merits of what they've done this season what I still think that that committee it's still human beings they watched what what Trevor wants and what T Higgins and what Justin Ross some of these players did to Alabama last year so even if their resume was undefeated and when the ACC and they didn't really beat anybody and they and they were let's say they were probably the fifth best I still think they did [Applause] cut the silver to the flow kupah John will run third and eight very close to the first down near Florida LSU on ESPN SportsCenter with Mike [Music] don't break down the big football game on Saturday that start time I'll bet my life it will not start at 11 o'clock Eastern Time tonight sound good experience and that's the thing I am most sure about at Florida LSU will not be done by 11 o'clock Eastern sports that it could come on on time SportsCenter Michael and Kenny after football on ESPN and the ESPN well you know you start to go through at this time here start to go through scenarios right looking at this top floor in a playoff young actors and all that right and you know a lot of people think Ohio State has been the best team the cluster I tend to agree with I'm right so you can't it's not completely out of the realm to think Ohio State runs the table there in Alabama [Music] Oh LS she the same thing I've looked up the same voters Alabama in fact that might have a little bit ahead of of Alabama but Oklahoma the wind today over Texas right that is significant if they run the big 12 you think that they would have to be in so and then knowing that he was working or Jo losing certainly hurts that but I don't think that anybody would say that that a Notre Dame is is outside the top six right now so if they run the table I mean there's a lot more actors in this play this year than there was a year when they got to a hundred and eleven players they game it's Charlotte both Herbstreit boys got into the game it's Thai on the left [Music] jump into this one dabble put him in 25:14 tonight Florida and LSU Baton Rouge got a deathly Death Valley day night doubleheader Death Valley here Death Valley in that time be able to see of course Davos got a couple of his sons on the team Brent Venables kids on the team as well hey they proclaim themselves to a family of barrier clubs that's kind out dabble program to that dream I think that's really cool I mean you talking with jr. that's at Bret Boone these son Jake Venables is a redshirt freshman linebacker and it was almost like when I was talking with Coach Venables he didn't want to say anything nice you know but but he couldn't help himself because he's like listen I'm not gonna be one of those dads that says something nice about my gamma hard on him anybody that knows Brent Venables knows that he would be hard harder on his kid than anybody else on the defense but he says you know what your son comes in it does well and then when he comes in and does maybe better than your expected that yeah it's amazing and I don't want to be that dad either but the Chiefs are playing in a really big football game sir rocky we're up to four word one bounce back from that tough loss special team coordinators you got to get there the boys that didn't take the loss too well which I'm okay with they're playing and enjoying it around this great game [Applause] final 44 seconds left the game [Applause] James black was still in there dropped Onterrio Wilson had the opportunity and they will turn it over on downs [Music] charge timeout for to stay there second 30 seconds while he's trying to get some more reps in for his guys [Applause] all that positive momentum for Willie Taggart you know after these back-to-back ACC wins we then some states Goodwin beat Louisville no you don't want to look back even though Louisiana Monroe they missed an extra point that's the reason Florida State was able to beat them blew a big lead against Boise State well they've got things and figure out defensively they've changed schemes and that's a difficult thing and then all offensively I don't know that they have [Music] [Applause] six yard line just wonder where the mental state of the Florida State players [Applause] back felt like you were moving in the right direction but they're not going to see this kind of town magazines kind of talent again opposite them on the football field but can they turn this back in and get some positive momentum going [Applause] series on the clock [Applause] and this game was over shortly after the singing of the national anthem Clemson wins 4514
