Florida State visits Death Valley Saturday afternoon to face No. 1 Clemson. A look at the Atlantic Division showdown By the Numbers.
8.6: Yards per attempt for Clemson’s passing game. That average is second-best in the ACC, behind only North Carolina. Florida State ranks third with an average of 8.2 yards per attempt, which could create the illusion that both teams attack in similar ways when utilizing the pass. This is not the case, however. Clemson has struggled to go downfield for much of the season, but big plays have recently become available for this team as young receivers have come of age.
