After a dominating first quarter, the Tigers' offense stalled, scoring only six points to finish the half.

It's not like Clemson is doing badly on offense. It's outgaining Florida State 313 yards to 84, but the Tigers just didn't finish the drives. FSU had a decent drive to start the quarter, striking back with an 8-play, 75-yard drive that ended with an acrobatic touchdown catch by Amaree Williams. But other than that, the Seminoles haven't been good.

FSU — for all its faults this season — is a talented team. When the Tigers have a chance to score, they need to score six, especially when field goals are getting blocked.

Regardless, Clemson is playing great football right now. It's a couple of plays from completely blowing out Florida State in the first half.
