No. 1 Clemson drops FSU to clinch ACC Atlantic

Clemson was tested early but responded like champs as the Tigers clinched the ACC Atlantic with a 23-13 win against Florida State.

Florida State got off to a great start thanks to star running back Dalvin Cook, quieting the Clemson faithful behind two runs that totaled 111 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown on Cook's first touch of the game. The Tigers found themselves at a disadvantage in terms of field position and trailing 10-3 after the first 20 minutes of play, but soon settled in with the kind of response you'd expect from an eventual playoff contender.
