– FSU is able to convert for a first down during their first series, but has to punt after a pass from Jordan Travis to Ontaria Wilson is ruled incomplete by review (Wilson’s foot hit out of bounds first).
– FSU forces a 3-and-out. Amari Gainer was in on a couple of stops and Akeem Dent prevented a screen pass from going for a first down. 50-yard punt by Clemson has FSU starting at the 8-yard line.
