Clemson started on the wrong foot with a three-and-out, but since then, it's been nothing but the Tigers. After one quarter, Clemson is up 17-0.

On the second drive, Klubnik led the offense down the field on a 12-play, 66-yard drive that ended in a field goal. So far, Clemson has lived off of explosive plays, so seeing them get points in that fashion against a good defense bodes well for the rest of the season. However, the explosiveness is alive and well. Two offensive plays later, the Klubnik hit Antonio Williams for a 57-yard touchdown pass.

The defense is playing lights out, forcing back-to-back three-and-outs and an interception that led to another score. The Seminoles have only ten total yards, while Clemson's gained 146.
