By the time the third quarter started, this game was all but decided. Clemson was in complete control, leading 28-0. FSU had only 65 yards of offense in the first half, while racking up 64 yards in penalties. The only questions left to be answered were exactly how bad it was going to get, and had the Seminoles composed themselves enough while in the locker room to avoid a complete meltdown. Well, it got bad - really bad. FSU didn't just self destruct, it was a complete meltdown. So much for finding some composure. When it was over, Clemson had given FSU its worst loss ever in Doak Campbel, 59-10.
