After two consecutive, heart-wrenching losses, the Clemson Tigers finally got the gritty, bounce-back win they desperately needed. In a game defined by defense, the Tigers suffocated Florida State all night, holding the Seminoles to just 10 points in a 24-10 victory at Memorial Stadium.
The win brings Clemson's record to 4-5 on the season. While the offense was clean and mistake-free, it was the defense that truly won this game, shutting down FSU's offense and creating the turnovers the team has been missing.
Here is the breakdown of what went right and what still needs work for the Tigers.
