Clemson was led by RB C.J. Spiller, who had over 200 all-purpose yards. The Seminoles are coming off a heartbreaking loss to Georgia Tech, 31-28. Florida State had the ball at the Tech 3-yard line, but FB Marcus Sims was hit and fumbled into the endzone and Rashaad Reid recovered the fumble for Tech with 45 seconds remaining to seal the victory.   Clemson on Offense Clemson could have a tough time against a Florida State defense that is ranked in the top 10 nationally. All QB Cullen Harper has to do is avoid turning the ball over, and the Tigers should be able to put some points on the board. RBs James Davis and C.J. Spiller have had big games against the Seminoles in recent years, especially Davis. Clemson WR Aaron Kelly has three TDs the in last two games after having zero in the first six games. ... (link)
