Florida State vs. Clemson: Defensive breakdown, analysis

DEATH VALLEY, SC: The Florida State Seminoles football team (3-4, 2-2 ACC) will try to upset the unranked Clemson Tigers (4-3, 3-2 ACC) on the road today. Clemson’s offense has yet to score more than 19 points against a Power 5 team this year. A Pittsburgh defense that held Clemson to 17 points last week gave up 31 to Miami in the first half earlier today. Is FSU’s defense up for the challenge? It will be up to them to keep the ’Noles in this game today.

Florida State is missing the following players on defense: starting Buck safety Sidney Williams, backup CB Meiko Dotson, and backup Stud Jadarius Green-McKnight.
