It’s not shocking that the ‘Noles lost to Dabo Swinney’s nationally ranked Tigers, but there’s hope despite the offensive line remaining a disappointment.

Clemson blitzed Florida State out of the gate and built a 17-0 lead before the conclusion of the first quarter. After the initial punch, the Seminoles settled in but it wasn't enough to mount a comeback despite some promising signs from redshirt freshman quarterback Brock Glenn.

For the first time in his Florida State tenure, Mike Norvell’s Seminoles are 1-5 to start the season. Its loss to Clemson on Saturday, the eighth in the last nine matchups to the Tigers, was Florida State’s third double-digit loss this year.
