Week 11: Florida State vs. Clemson
This ACC clash could very well determine which team wins the conference. Being so late in the year, the gravity of this is all the more significant.
Even with Deshaun Watson at the helm last year, the Tigers eked out a three-point win over their rival. This time around, the Seminoles might be better equipped to win the big game, if only because Clemson’s quarterback situation is such an unknown at this time.
Deandre Francois will face plenty of pressure from Clemson’s defensive front, but he acquitted him quite well as a freshman last year. Furthermore, he has a talented freshman running back to hand the ball to in Cam Akers, who totaled 102 total yards in the spring game.
It’s going to likely be a very tight game that comes down to the wire unless defensive coordinator Brent Venables sees his unit absolutely dominate Florida State’s offense.
