Clemson, SC- Florida State football was doomed by penalties in a 30-20 loss to the Clemson Tigers in Death Valley on Saturday evening.

The Seminoles were just 4-13 on third down and committed nine penalties for 35 yards. Despite those figures, the ‘Noles still had a chance in a hostile environment against a powerhouse program.
