This suggests that oddsmakers believe in the Seminoles’ potential to turn things around on their home turf. The over/under is set at 48.5, indicating expectations of a moderately high-scoring game, which aligns with historical performances when these two teams meet.

Cade Klubnik QB vs. DJ Uiagalelei QB

This season, Cade Klubnik from Clemson has continued to be outstanding, as evidenced by his numbers: 66.4% completion rate, 984 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. His ability is such that he can make deep throws which averages 8.9 yards per attempt, a threat to any defense. Klubnik’s high passer rating of 173.9 is a testament to his efficient skills and decision making which will be helpful against the schemes of the Seminoles defensive.

At the same time, though, DJ Uiagalelei has been in a slump manifested by low numbers in completion rate at 53.8 % and a possibility rating of 112. Having 1065 yards through the air but throwing 6 interceptions and being sacked 12 times means that there are still several areas in which Uiagalelei can still get better. The heat from Clemson’s defense would only make these problems much worse of course, unless the Florida State’s line protects him rather well and creates chances for him to use his strong arm and his toughness under hits.

Tigers’ Ground and Air Attack: A Dual Threat

Clemson’s attack is not limited to the sky. Running back Phil Mafah is quite effective with the ball, collecting 342 yards rushing and scoring two touchdowns, averaging 8 yards per carry. With this kind of explosive running, there is no chance for the defense to focus solely on the passing game of Klubnik. Tight end Bryant Wesco Jr. is also an important weapon as he caught 238 yards and averaged 34 yards per reception, indicating the presence of big-play capability in the Tigers’ offense as well.
