TALLAHASSEE – We’re going to call this one a Dabo Swinney Special.
Phil Mafah rushed 25 times for 154 yards and Nolan Hauser kicked five field goals as No. 15 Clemson walked off of Bobby Bowden Field with a 29-13 victory over Florida St. Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Clemson improved to 4-1 overall and 3-0 in the ACC, while Florida St. fell to 1-5 overall and 1-4 in league play.
In a game reminiscent – in ways – of Clemson’s 16-7 victory over South Carolina last season, the Tigers relied on the defense and special teams to secure the victory.
