The Clemson Insider gives out grades by position group from third-ranked Clemson’s 37-34 win over 14th-ranked Florida State in Tallahassee on Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Quarterbacks: B
This was far from Deshaun Watson’s best game. He missed some wide open receivers on downfield throws by a substantial margin. He took a couple of unnecessary sacks in key moments. He threw two interceptions by misreading underneath coverage—including a similar play to the one that led to the pick-six against NC State two weeks ago—that led directly to 14 FSU points. However, Watson was efficient early and effective late to pace Clemson’s victory.
