Clemson Leads Florida State 26-10 in the Third Quarter in Tallahassee
Clemson built a 23-10 halftime lead at Florida State on two touchdown passes and three field goals, then added to it in the third quarter on Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Clemson led Florida State 26-10 in the third quarter on Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, after taking a 23-10 lead into halftime in the Week 9 ACC meeting between the Tigers (4-3, 2-2 ACC) and the Seminoles (3-4, 1-3). Clemson outscored Florida State 10-7 in the first quarter and 13-3 in the second, then scored the only points of the third quarter to the point of this file.
Freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds threw two first-half touchdown passes — an 18-yarder to tight end Christian Bentancur in the first quarter and a 4-yarder to Olsen Patt-Henry in the second — and finished the half 12 of 19 for 118 yards, according to the Tallahassee Democrat's live coverage read by this desk. Kicker Nolan Hauser made three first-half field goals, including a 50-yarder as the second quarter expired. Florida State's touchdown was a 46-yard pass from Ashton Daniels to Micahi Danzy in the first quarter.
The turnovers told the first-half story: Daniels threw two second-quarter interceptions, and Clemson turned both into points on its way to the halftime lead, the Democrat reported. This is an in-progress report; the Sports desk will file the final score in a later cycle after the game ends.
