The Clemson Tigers will travel to Tallahassee in what could arguably be the biggest game on the schedule, especially if FSU and Clemson both come into this game undefeated.

The winner of this game has won the ACC Championship every year since 2011. Clemson won the ACC title last season and went undefeated until falling to Alabama in the National Championship game.

The Clemson offense and DeShaun Watson will be the best offense the ‘Noles will face all season. The defense will be talented too, but will likely not be as deep as last season with injuries and departures to the NFL.

It will be great to have this game in Tallahassee and we’re sure the atmosphere will be electric as it was in 2012 and 2014.

The ‘Noles offense will have hopefully found its groove by the time Clemson rolls to town. FSU football will enjoy a bye week prior to Clemson as well, which will be key in regards to game prep.

Clemson will host NC State the week before traveling to Tallahassee.
