Jimbo Fisher To Dabo Swinney: "Win The Whole Thing"

"I feel comfortable with Sean, and I feel comfortable with Everett". Florida State has won 50 of its last 54 games, including a 51-14 blowout of Clemson in 2013 the last time these teams met at Death Valley....

"We have two guys, we know now they can come in and play very well", Fisher said. Both should probably be generating a little more national buzz than they are now receiving. The last four running quarterbacks FSU faced averaged 230 yards of offense - that's 39 more than their season averages.

Florida and Florida State won their respective conference tournament finals in women's soccer to earn automatic berths in the NCAA tournament, but for the second straight year, USF dropped a heartbreaker in its title game.

"It's been a heck of a run", Fisher said.

"I don't think he played a great game". "I couldn't hear Rod [Johnson] next to me, I couldn't hear Alec [Eberle] at all the entire game".

The coverage team continues to scare me, frankly. They're all the same responsibility as far as wins and losses, what they stand for. There is no doubt that Dabo Swinney has been outstanding this season.

The Big Ten said on Sunday that officials used the proper mechanics to indicate a Nebraska player stepped out of bounds and returned to the field before catching the winning touchdown pass against MI State on Saturday night. FSU's George Campbell (East Lake High) has three catches, while Auden Tate (Wharton High) has been slowed with a toe injury but almost caught a touchdown against Miami.

Fisher said Eberle a couple of times "tried to overthink a few things" and was making additional calls when Maguire wanted the ball.

"They scored in less than 60 seconds, but for the next 59 minutes they didn't get another touchdown", Swinney said. "He leads this league in all-purpose yards".

Not to be left out, however, is Clemson running back Wayne Gallman.

"He's just become a complete player", Swinney said. "Not that the others haven't but he's been able to enhance his talents". With just one loss and the ability to upset Clemson, they would need to win outright to really impress the committee.

Florida State's passing game will be going up against a Clemson (8-0, 5-0 ACC) defense that is 11th nationally against the pass. Cornerback Cordrea Tankersley leads the conference in interceptions with three. All eyes will be on their clash with the Seminoles this weekend and if they survive that test, the path towards the College Football Playoff will be paved for them with winnable games against Syracuse, Wake Forest and SC to close out the regular season. The linebacking corps that has been so solid all season looked alarmingly lost at times in the first half. Shaq Lawson is third in the ACC with six while DeMarcus Walker has recorded five for FSU.

His first half stats may seem mediocre at best for the young man who wears Steve Fuller's jersey number each Saturday, but he did more than enough to make up for his red zone miscue.
