Florida State’s contest against Clemson was supposed to mean something, and everyone involved, except Mike Norvell, kept their end of the bargain.
The ACC assumed that this would be the biggest game on the conference’s calendar, scheduling it on what was supposed to be a “down week.” Dabo Swinney proved that a team can recover from a bad loss to start the year, with his Clemson Tigers looking once again like the teams that have won eight of the last nine games against FSU. The Seminoles picked tonight to honor Warrick Dunn, the Bowden Society and packed the house with recruits from three different classes expecting their best home opponent of the season.
