Even without DJ Uiagalelei playing, it felt like Clemson was going up against their own inept offense from the previous three years. FSU’s wide receivers seldom got separation and dropped the ball when they did. Their offensive line couldn’t run block for their talented running backs. Frankly, it felt great to see Clemson’s arch-rival saddled with the pains that once encumbered Clemson. Meanwhile, Clemson brought their newfound dynamic and explosive playmaking on the road to earn their first true road win of the season.
While the final score was only 29-13, the performance was much more dominant than that.
