And today, it has to be washington. Going on the road to salt lake a hardfought game. 3124. 11th straight win. Huskies are proving that theyre deserving of being up there in the top four, as the first rankings come out on tuesday. Chris special teams touchdown. Kirk yeah, pettis ended up winning it. Chris keep kickoff from huegel, and that will bounce out of the end zone. Our pacific life game summary, highlighting dalvin cook, as you pointed out earlier, kirk, you can hold them in check, you can pen them in for awhile, but hes the ultimate home run h kirk incredible. Thats what Brent Venables told us. We have to play 60 minutes of gap integrity. Both of his long runs, the 43 and the 70yard runs were on counter plays where they lost the edge. They let him get to the outside. And he showed you the speed that he has as he took it to the end zone. Chris feed him again. And cook gets the edge again. Gets a block. Secondary again, inside the 35. Number four cant be stopped right now. Theres a flag down. Kirk oh, they may bring this one all the way back. Referee personal foul. Block below the waist. Offense, number 23. 15yard penalty. Chris thats the fullback, freddy stevenson. Kirk van smith who was going to potentially make a play ended up blocking went by him, kind of the back of his leg. 23 on 23. Chris negated a 42yard run. Kirk i dont know. Chris move it back, spot of the foul was at the 34. Kirk im kind of struggling with that one. Chris dave is waving his hand like that one is not clear cut there. Take a look at this. They called whats better known as a crack back block. Kirk boy, boy, dave, thats a tough one. Its on the side. There officiating . Chris jimbos yelling. Kirk if hes laying into you. If you see it from here, thats a questionable call. Questionable. Hes got to get him in front. Chris jimbo was going crazy. They showed it on the screen. The crowd is all involved. Kirk he may get a sideline warning here. Chris be surprised if they referee unsportsmanlike conduct against the Florida State bench. 15yard penalty. First down. Chris wasnt a sideline warning. He got him for 15. Kirk oh, wow. Heres the block again. Wow. I and jimbo fisher went crazy going after the officials. Obviously. But boy youre talking about a i dont know, what is that, a 55, 60yard run. Chris that index finger very close to the officials face. They dont like that usually. No, they dont. Kirk he was all the way down at the 30 yard line . Now theyre back at their own 10 yard line. They dont have the marker. Chris hes way out on the field. Kirk thats what got him. Chris you cant. Ball at the 9. First and 25. And cook. This time, hes going to be home run on three carries, negated by that call. Kirk yeah, thats then the 15yard unsportsmanlike against jimbo fisher. He everybody just needs to move past this and talk about it later, because right now, youre winning by two with ten minutes to go in the game. Chris hes still bending the ear of the field judge over francois from the end zone. Looks for tate no. He went up high, used all of that 65 height. Couldnt come down with it. Fields was defending. Kirk of course, they want the call there, right in front of the Florida State bench. Fields, who got called earlier for a pass interference, tries to get up there, left hand was wrapped around the receir. I think thats what jimbo fisher was upset about. Chris third and 28. And if the noles cant convert this, clemsons going to get good field position, down just two. Francois. Look out. Fires from his end zone, its complete to murray, but hes way kirk thats actually a big completion, because just field position, if nothing else. Heres the pass rush again, just rushing three. They almost get to him there in the end zone. Gutsy throw with your feet standing at your own goal line. Third and forever. Puts it right on the money there and gives themselves a little bit of yardage, at least, to help out on this punt. Chris fifth catch tonight for murray, who had five all season coming in. So Rayray Mccloud tampa, standing at his 40 to receive the punt from logan tyler. Kirk Florida State player running on the field. Chris they didnt have the complete 11 out there. Thats mcfadden who was trotting out late. Kirk a lot of confusion there. Referee false start of the offense, number four. Chris he was on the clemson when the punt was snapped. Kirk here comes mcfadden. Hoskins runs off. Now, you see mcfadden, trying to get in position, the ball is snapped. Florida state kind of coming apart at the seams here after that poor call that went against them. In my opinion, anyway, on that block. Chris mccloud lets it bounce in front of him. And it will bounce back with yards and the stop it at the 48. Calls can go for you or against you, but they didnt not react with a whole lot of poise after the call was made.

Chris can clemson survive and stay undefeated . College Football Playoff Committee watching the finish of this one. Theyll convene. And then rankings on espn, exclusively at 7 00 on tuesday. After another poor punt, clemson takes over at their 48, down two. Watson. Batted down again at the line of scrimmage. Hes a monster, demarcus walker. Kirk again. Doesnt even worry about getting in there to rush the quarterback. But just sits and waits and looks and waits and it goes up and knocks it down. Watch him at the top, 44. Linebacker. Chris he arrived the very same day at walker did. Early enrollley. They got to town the same exact day. Watched the super bowl together. Kirk hes like, i like it here. Chris and remember, demarcus, for two years, was committed, he was going to go to clemson. Big clemson fan growing up. Theres a flag down. Referee illegal formation, offense. Fiveyard penalty. Second down. Chris demarcus just, at the last minute, decided to come to Florida State, flipped making life tough on the tigers tonight. Kirk alabama had a chance, clem sob ha clemson had a chance. One of the few guys remaining that played in that 13 season. Chris alabama was in the the mix with clemson. Noles made a late close on him. Watson. Protected for awhile, but then dropped. Demarcus christmas. It will be third and long. Dabo screaming at the official now. Kirk that is all coverage downfield. Great job by this Florida State defensive back. Eventually being able to get pressure. Looked like did look like they got ahold of him. Thats what dabos frustrated with. Chris thats 15. Kirk dont know how you miss that one. In the middle of the field. Chris noles fans thinking, you know us one. Kirk maybe that was payback. Who knows. Third and 31. Watson buys time, delivers low catch made, not a first down. But renfrow scooped it off the turf. It will be fourth down, less than two. Kirk what an effort by renfrow. To go down and make this catch. Told you on third down, deshaun especially on broken plays, he slides that chris the window. Kirk between two safeties. Theyre lining up to go for this. Chris theyre going to take another peek to see if renfrow did in fact scoop it off the turf. This may not show it. Nothing to say that it hit the ground there. His body is shielding the camera from the football, both of these looks. Kirk yes. This is probably the best look you have. That looks like a catch. That ball never touched the ground. Chris a. J. Westbrook, how about the concentration by renfrow to keep that ball . And what an enormous difference this catch makes it fourth and call and a catch . Absolutely, chris. Both hands are under it. Referee after further review, the ruling on the field stands. Fourth down. Nothing to show that ball hit the ground. Kirk the only thing that happens that instead of going tempo to try to go for it, now, with the review, the defense came to the sideline, clemson goes to the sideline, and now it slows things down for the Florida State defense to kind of get things in order. Kirk hes under center here. You have a big lineup there with Dexter Alexander in the backfield, along with Christian Wilkins. Chris jumbo formation. They run gallman behind it and he escapes and gallman galloping down near the 30. Much more than what he needed. Kirk what a slasher. And what a great job to be able to follow the two big fellas, wilkins and lawrence. Watch them pick up those blocks. Are 180 pounds. These guys are over 300 pounds. Good luck, mcfadden. You dont have a chance. You get him out in the open space with those live legs, he is a talented back. Chris gallmans got it again. By the way, when they used that jumbo package, those two defensive linemen, theyre now 4 for 4 converting this season. Fun for the big dlinemen. Wilkins told me he loves that. Kirk they get down inside that look at them talking about those package plays than he does sacking the quarterback. Chris it all excites him. Kirk positive, positive energy and a great leader for this team. Chris deshaun rolling out. Sidesteps a man. Is hit hard. Driven down after a threeyard gain. Kirk another play by demarcus walker. Does a good job of containing him and forcing him back to the inside. Thats where hoskins is able to make that play, but again, the senior, the veteran, making a play to set that up. Kirk huegel, kirk, was connecting from 50 in warmups. His long this season is 47. So, theyre in range if they dont take a loss, but deshaun is thinking, move the chains on third and seven. Delivers. Incomplete. Off the outstretched hands of jordan leggett. And it will be a long field goal attempt for the lead now coming up. Kirk they motioned him over. They got the look they wanted. And it just just beyond the outstretched hands there of his tight end, but he had exactly the look that he wanted when they motioned him over. In fact, they ran that play early in the game for a big to connect. Chris snap it to seth ryan, rex ryans son. And huegel from 46 for the lead. That is a pressure field goal. Hammers it right through. And clemson up by a point. 5 25 to play. Taco bells 5 cravings deal. With a cheesy gordita crunch. Burrito supreme . Nachos.

Thats why dove men care bodywash has a unique hydrating chris you make your third field goal in three attempts to give your team the league. Seth ryan, the routine with the holder there. Kirk look at wilkins, the dance there. Boulware, smack him across the head. Speaks volumes about the chemistry on this clemson team. You got defensive starters coming over to a kicker, giving him love like that. Chris he hasnt been very busy. He only attempted and made one field goal the last three games. 3 for 3 tonight. He should be pretty pumped up. Drives this kick to the end zone. Kermit whitfields going to bring it out. Whitfield, a little crease. And hes tackled over there at the 20 yard line. And thats where francois will take over with 5 19 to play. Halloween night. The 51 vikes and the bears. Jay cutler back under center. 6 00 eastern, monday night countdown. Kickoff at 8 15. Kirk see how Florida State rebounds after that last possession, where they had the big gain and pushed back after the unsportsmanlike conduct on the sidehind line of florida st. They get the ball back. Now trailing by a point. Chris cook. They go back to that play again. This time, he runs left. Knocked down after a fiveyard gain. Kirk that counter play has worked for some big yards, but you know that Brent Venables has told his outside. Both times theyve run the counter, he got the edge and got down the sideline. And Brent Venables is saying, i dont care if he goes back up the middle, but you better not let him get to the outside. Chris fake it to dalvin. Francois roms out. Delivers a long throw and a catch made at the 40 yard line, first down. Whitfield. Kirk see, thats jimbo he runs the boot off the counter look. And then he rolls his quarterback out where hes comfortable. Moves that launch point away from the pressure. And then he the timing between francois and the move and his wide receiver. When cook gets the running game going, that entire chapter on the play on the play call chart opens up. Chris strong throw by the redshirt freshman. Play action. Side steps the rush. Dalvin and he dropped the football at the 35. He had beaten boulware. Did everything but catch it. Kirk its mantoman with boulware against cook. And thats a mismatch. Its a wheel route. Protected just long enough for francois. Watch his eyes, chris. See how he looks up . He peeks up. As good as he is, he peeks up to see who is coming towards him so he can make his next move. He knows he has boulware beat. But hes trying to see whos in just for a second, he took his eyes off the ball and dropped it. Chris thinking, just give me a chance to redeem myself for that play. They fake it to him again. And now francoiss going to fire down the field for rudolph, in traffic, its broken up. Two flags come in. Another interference call on the tigers. And francois, again, just knocked down hard after the throw. Dlb was big. This was a running start by the middle linebacker, joseph defense, number 25. 15yard penalty. First down. Kirk i happened to be watching joseph the entire time. He got a full sprint held start on a delayed blitz and keep in mind, the hits that francois has been taking since the very first opening drive. Watch 34 get a running start right there. Just a clean hit, right into the sternum. Chris midsection, yeah. He has taken all manner of hits, career. Just brutalized by just about every opponent this season. See if he gets up from this one. Kirk theres the pass interference. Tankersley with the left hand, grabbing onto the shoulder of Travis Rudolph. See, watch, he looks, by the time he looks back to find the ball, hes grabbing onto travis r rudolph. Chris that would have been, probably if he didnt interfere, its going to be a long watch. But the concern, obviously, as maguire in for francois. Kirk its been a very common theme throughout this year. That was the big hit early. This is thats Christian Wilkins landing on top of him, along with the big hit. I dont think he knew where he was on that one. Theres at outside pressure. That one from austin bryant. Big dexter lawrence, 340 pounds coming down on top of him. And then this one, a full sprint all these hits taking a toll on one of the toughest dudes ive seen play this year at this position, or any position, for that matter. Chris testament to toughness, what we called that road win at miami. Wake forest knocked him around, he had two weeks to kind of get the shoulder healthy. Get back to 100 , which he was coming into this game, but hes not 100 right now. Back from all this, it would be this kid. Clr now sean maguire is going to have to go in. He started against clemson, filling in for jameis, suspended two years ago. And then he was chosen to start over goalslson last year in the loss, so, hes experienced but stone cold. Kirk this is why you take a lot of mental reps, for these kind of moments where you get thrown in and you got to be ready to make decisions. Chris you want to do this, a starter get pummeled again and again, you want to finish the job if you can. Stevenson, the fullback, has a gap. Stevenson gets the edge dives down inside the 5. Usually a guy who blocks for dalvin cook gets loose himself. Kirk they break a tendency and they run stevenson, and watch dalvin cook leading the way here. So, they go the opposite way and dalvin cook does a pretty good job along with ryan izzo in blocking, 241 pounds, showing that hes got some speed himself down the sideline. Chris kirk, he just doubled his yardage total for the season. Francois is back in the game. First and goal. Cook. Scores standing up the hat trick for cook. And the noles reclaim the lead, up five, will go for two. Kirk got to go for two here, to make it a sevenpoint lead. A sixpoint lead really doesnt do you any good, if clemson were to go down and score a touchdown, obviously with the extra point. Chris dalvin, who dropped that pass, redeems himself with a block on stevensons run and then the touchdown. Kirk that was beautiful. Hes the happiest guy on that field right now. Looking to the sideline, the tigers are for their defensive call here. Kirk and jimbo fisher is going to call a timeout. On second time on a twopoint conversion. Again, these timeouts are going to be precious as this game, you in the final few minutes. Chris precious timeout, but a very important play, the difference between being up seven versus five, with watson and how dangerous, how clutch he is. Have a look at the touchdown. Kirk after the big run by stevenson, that go right back with the stretch play, he was able to bounce it to the outside. Has such a good feel. Wiggins just doesnt have the speed out there. He immed good effort there by murray on fields to block. It was a oneonone play. It was wiggins up against dalvin cook and he takes a bow, and he should. After a slow start tonight, only 33 yards in the first half. He has caught fire here in the second half, up to 172 yards now. Averaging close to ten yards a carry with four touchdowns. Chris heres the twopoint play. Night, only one catch. He wasnt turned around. Kirk miscommunication. If Travis Rudolph stuck with his route and worked to the outside, he pulled away from ryan carter. He was wide open. Jimbo fisher wants to talk to rudolph. Watch him. See, he works his way down. Watch him. If he just on the inside. Watch him. Now, just work the sideline. Work towards the hes picking a i way from ryan carter. For some reason, he had a different call in mind. He turns and starts to run. Theres no more room down the sideline. Chris if he turns the other way, he catches it. Kirk all he had to do was slide outside. An easy throw for francois. Chris rudolph last game, 13 for 238. One of the top five games in the history of Florida State receiving. Tonight, just the exact opposite. Hes kind of giving it back to state has a fivepoint lead. Deshaun watson has 3 23 to work with. Its good stuff. When the tigers and noles get together, its always fun. Kirk all the games seem to come down to the last possession. And if you are clemson, this is what you want. You want Deshaun Watson with his hands on the ball with the game on the line and a touchdown could win it. Chris that will be a touchback. Just what these teams do. The last seven meetings, the winners won the division. The last five years, theyve won the acc championship. And both clemson and Florida State have figured into the playoff, the championship game, the last three years. Kirk if Florida State wins that here, that streak would probably be broken, with the two losses they already have in conference play to louisville and north carolina. But this is it. Deshaun watson, 3 23 to go. On the road in this environment. This is great. Chris from the pocket. Leggett. Streaking free. Already with one play, they have at midfield. Kirk that is wide open in the middle. Florida state has only one linebacker, a true freshman, dontavius jackson. Nobody to match him in the middle. That was wide knew that he wanted to get the ball to jordan leggett for a big fist down to start this drive. Chris true freshmen all over the place for the noles at the moment. Gallman. Barrels forward. Picks up about five. Inside of three minutes. Kirk youll see Deshaun Watson, who is very, very comfortable in this position, this high octane offense, with that much time left, there is no hurry at all. Chris watson. Back pedaling and just throws it away. Nobody open. And josh sweat providing the pressure. This would be the biggest win, the best opponent that these seminoles out here have beaten in the last couple of years, where as watson and clemson, they are just used to winning games like this, used to finding a way. Kirk absolu heart of a champion. They find ways to fight through adversity to win games. Kind of become their m. O. Chris two plays to get these five yards. Scott in motion. Seminoles rush only three. And watson has time and delivers a strike for a first down to leggett again. The country. Nobody picked him up. Safety just kind of sunk back in coverage. The linebacker came off of him. Give the line a lot of credit for giving him the time to eventually come off and find leggett. Chris deshaun fires to a wide open man. A complete bust, leggett dives for the pylon touchdown, clemson less than a minute, they sprint down. 75 yards and scores. Kirk its a bust in coverage. Two defenders go deep. The freshman meyers, and a. J. Westbrook, they went with Hunter Renfrow down field. Two defenders go deep. Nobody picks up leggett. Great effort there. But one of the few busts weve seen here since early in the game. Chris now, yet another twopoint conversion, as the by a tight end, folks. Kirk the left hand to keep him elevated before he hits and tries to get the ball extended for the goal line. Chris theyre going to review this. But leggett, on that drive, three catches for 70 yards. Kirk leggett is right here. Hes going to work here. But Hunter Renfrow takes two defenders with him. Watch the bust in coverage here. Youve got a couple they get occupied and nobody picks him up going out to the corner. Theres just nobody there. So, a bust in coverage. And then leggett, for a big guy, 260 pounds. Referee the ruling on the field is confirmed. Touchdown. Chris i think of all the people in this situation you would not want to leave alone is jordan leggett. You cannot lose him. Hes such a clutch weapon. Kirk and you know when its crunch time, leggett and renfrow
