Watson & Dalvin Under the Lights Duel! (#3 Clemson vs. #17 Florida State 2016, October 29)

11 of the last 12. Clemson's come up empty and Joe Campbell but doesn't really involve that many of these players these guys have won a lot of big games including some big road games in the last couple of years top of the formation Watson looks left and finds Williams who shakes a tackle and has a first down across the 45 involved now the corner Blitz Williams has left alone out there makes a catch slips a tackle and is close but not quite at first town yard it does a good call Marcus Walker's moved inside two 44. and hearing it off salmon fighting and will move the sticks but just barely Clemson two Florida State before Signing Day Watson down the middle boy running free Jordan Leggett gets a block heads for the corner I'll be driven out inside the five and the Tigers threatening in their opening possession 41-yard catch and run sets up the Tigers first and goal gallman barrels ahead and breaks the plane and Clemson takes the opening kickoff and marches 68 yards for the early lead explosive throws in practice this week so they feel good about the health of that shoulder tonight [Applause] he's got it and clips it short here this is Maven Saunders the rapidly improving tight end from the Bahamas First Carry for Dalvin cook BS leader from yards from scrimmage he's been a great receiver [Applause] Francois drops back it's a shot far side and that's big odd and Tate The Freshman a flag is down he makes it tigers are crowding the line of scrimmage you think it's a cook Francois first time tonight as Kendall Joseph the middle linebacker got him before the penalty the ball was inside the 20. move it back 15. lose 10 in the sack and second and 20 they try a tunnel screen whitfield's got room Whitfield scoots free and stumbles down just short of the 20-yard line leader in that defense third and 13 now and he's dropped again is the pass rush gets after Francois Cleland Farrell with his fourth sack of the season the Knowles go backwards think about how tough that is receiver to safety and playing at this kind of level against these kind of receivers and this quarterback now there is Hunter Renfro to Sean takes off slips a tackle and slides down near Midfield 35 yards rushing they don't include the sacks this year this is gallman heavy traffic but he bursts free gallman tough running down to the floor to say 40. Watson keeps it nobody on the edge and he just dances around inside the 10's still going down inside for Watson to get outside bikers playing fast 10 first and goal Watson Lobster to Renfro for a touchdown two drives two scores in a strong first quarter statement a number three [Applause] James can only watch helpful see from the sidelines hoping his guys can get a stop but Watson throws and it's picked off picked off by Marquez white and that experience guy Kirk you just referred to a much needed takeaway for this Florida State Defense we just talked about how this is urgency this is a big series plenty confused tonight see that late movement right here they come after Francois nyquan Murray makes a play and Murray running three finally making an impact got to see it show up at a game though cook has the sidestep traffic in the backfield lost the ball a scrum down inside the five guys still jumping on the pile Tigers point in their Direction but the ball is in the hands but offensive lineman those are playing quick here it's second and three after all that excitement Cooks got it again holds on to it and Barrels in for a touchdown Galvin Dodges a turnover and then reaches the end zone what a two-play sequence in the Knowles back in it on second and seven in completion Watson gets it to Ray Ray McLeod keep her all the way but he's dropped in the max wheel and that's scene the converted receiver never thought of Andrew Jones in second and ten there's a strike in traffic and a nice catch made far south out of the quarterback's hand with the plane with a sore shoulder the last game now a long drop back looking for tape downfield lops it up and it's intercepted jadar Johnson's got it for the Tigers and he will just fall down across the 30. it was 18 versus 18. and by the way Christian Wilkins lowered the boom on Francoise he got that ball away absolutely they're even more sound on the back end this year Sean fires gets made by Williams who weaves his way into seminal territory Watson keeps it slides his way to a nice game DeSean spots it no doubt about that and looks that direction and now throws a slant for Williams convert the Chip Shot field goal through those old school double goal posts here at Doug Campbell Stadium which you have to love right it's got an open slot receiver to his left he throws downfield looking for Murray who makes the catch Jimbo Fisher said keep an eye out this is his breakthrough 40-yard gain he still had the two-timeouts don't spend one there and Francois fires near sideline catch made and down inside the 10. is Whitfield it's first and goal move the chains Knowles with those two-timeouts as Francois fires to the end zone incomplete Murray was well covered now it's a matter of where is that left foot right right toe maybe yeah that's a that may be a touchdown Dennis Redding in the booth is checking this out is the toe down now the right toe down when he's got possession before the left foot lands out of bounds that's the keys is the right what's the right toe right there now it's I think it's a no-brainer I think both feet actually look good the receiver maintained possession touchdown Chris I go back to this all the time and it's because we've seen it Watson delivers Far Side what a strike on third down as Kane gets free got another first down shows how much they trust him and how he rewards that trust with that throw now here's a downfield shot and it's caught by Kane who just ran right past Marcus Lewis Sean will be chased down and the Knowles defense makes another Red Zone stop super reliable inside of 40. from 34 for a six-point lead no problem [Music] Austin Bryan who had a foot injury and missed the second down Watson throws a pick once again it's Tavares McFadden the nation's leader in interceptions he's got his sixth pick of the season and the Seminoles are in business and plus territory second pick for Watson tonight 43 of the Tigers first down cook bounces it gets the edge Dalvin cook down the sidelines heading for the End Zone touchdown Seminoles this is had its way three runs at Francois now Watson he can't escape he's going to be sacked and the Knowles pass for us starting to flex sweat get in there quickly again as they did last time out yourself gets the edge Galvin cook off and running again they will not catch him touchdown number two as the Tigers go back to work down eight this is Williams with a slant almost escaped see if Watson looks that direction Kirk off to his left he does Williams makes the catch beats McFadden and is knocked out of bounds and now a fly comes in personal foul targeting Defense number 20. and here comes Marshall there's the crown Dave Kata is our rules expert of course as they ruling on the field stands [Music] so that further depletes an already short-handed secondary Watson delivers strike Scott first and goal Clemson has 200 career reception sets the Tigers up at first and goal who tried to lead in second effort spotted short this would be a good effort there's launch number two he's still up and yeah he broke the plane yeah I think it's a touchdown yeah the other look from the progressive pylon Camp I think it's pretty clear from that angle the player broke a goal line touchdown our goodness for replay and the Tigers now down by two monsters relaying things to the offensive line delivers near side incomplete they're at low and outside Watson protected for a while but then drops Demarcus Christmas burden 21 Watson buys time delivers low catch made not a first down but Renfro along with Christian Wilkins yep two defensive linemen the jumbo formation they run gallman behind it and he escapes in Golden Galloping down near the 30 much last time delivers incomplete off the outstretch hands of Jordan Leggett for the lead that is a pressure field goal hammers it right through you think it's a downman Francois rolls out delivers a long throw and a catch made at the 40-yard line first down seeing the starter get pummeled again and again you want to try to finish the job if you can Stevenson the fullback running left has a gap Stevenson gets the edge Dives down inside the five usually a guy who blocks for Delvin cook scores standing up Knowles reclaim the lead that's why some confusion there Rudolph who's had a tough night only one catch great from the pocket Leggett streaking free already with one play they are at Midfield Seminoles Rush only three and Watson has time and delivers a strike to eventually come off and find Leggett fires away wide open man that complete bust and Leggett died for the pylon touchdown Clemson less than a minute they Sprint down and 75 yards and score it's a busting coverage two Defenders go deep The Freshman Myers and AJ Westbrook they went with one of the receivers Hunter Renfro downfield two Defenders go deep nobody picks up Jordan leggetts this is a lot of times when they run that quarterback too Watson steps up flips it to a wide open Mike Williams and they convert the two-pointer Francois finds Rudolph just his second catch tonight but the veteran barrels out to the 40. it's thrown quickly yeah he's got a gun and then Francois fires Far Side another completion they're in Clemson territory to stay alive Francois lost the ball and it was way over Murray's heading out of bounds a late flag here in the backfield you're right I didn't see the flag on the field where the quarterback was hit holding offense number 71 10-yard penalty that's who ended up hitting Francois see I'm locked up there and I'm a Chokehold yeah but see Wilkins still gets there and that's why the ball sailed they had to make the play on fourth down two plays to make 10 more yards and Francois firing Far Side catch made Rudolph they beat tankersley they move the sticks [Applause] pound of bounds this time it's inbounds tankers please see his head he's beaten again he can't find the football look at venables to make him play on it he tried to make a play on it but Rudolph comes up with a good Big Catch and they are right at The Fringe of field goal range and there's a false start and there's a like the right tackle Ruble backing out and he's a little nervous there against Christian Wilkins fall start offense number 71. comfortable field goal range for Aguayo Tigers showing pressure again he showed pressure did they come across first right number 69 five-yard penalty first down the Freshman Dickerson pressure again they come after Francois who delivers over the head of Rudolph it's a match up to their advantage in my opinion Francois rolling the other way and now walks it down field Arden Tate couldn't get it even at 6'5 it was too high for him kickoff man I would think about 10 to 15 yards instead of trying to get the first down remember that left side pressured immediately Francois going to be swarmed under cannot take that sack and now it's fourth in a mile as Dexter Lawrence and Christian Wilkins we've got to get all the way down to the Clemson 24 to stay alive immediately pressured again fullware will end the seven dollars chances and secure a Clemson Victory with the sixth sap tonight for this defense tigers are going to escape Tallahassee with a W and Watson in Victory formation Clemson Tigers are built for games like this in the words of Davos Sweeney and his team goes out and proves it once again Clemson [Music] for just the second time in the last 13 visits to Tallahassee comes out on top of the first time since 2006
