College Football: Clemson finish the job against Florida State

After a very dramatic football game, Clemson Tigers won 24-18 against Florida State on Monday night.

College Football: Clemson finish the job against Florida State In the last college football game in Week 1, the Clemson Tigers "finished the job" and won against Florida State late Monday night, after taking 21-0 lead within the first 17 minutes of the game. Beginning the second half with a 24-3 lead, Clemson had to take a safety after a mistake towards the end of the third quarter, and from that point on the game of the Tigers was best described by head coach Tommy Bowden as "self-destructive".

 Not a single point put on the board by Clemson in the second half, when rejuvenated Florida State offense managed to bring the score to 24-18, a touchdown away from winning the game with more than 5 minutes left.

 Fortunately for Clemson, the defense finally snapped out of it, and exhibited the excellent skills shown during the first quarter. Clemson hung on to the 24-18, working the clock until the final seconds of the game. A call-review at the end of the game send the Clemson fans running in and out of the field until it was announced the decision stays and the game was over. Clemson-Florida State final result 24-18.

Florida State was the clear favorite, entering the Monday night football game with odds -175 to win and Clemson were listed at +155 on a victory by the online betting website Bodog Sports.
