Seminoles QB Travis Okay After Injury Scare
There was a momentary cause for concern just before halftime of Florida State’s 31-29 squeaker over Boston College. QB1 Jordan Travis went out of the game briefly with an apparent hand injury. However, he returned to action in the second half, finishing 16-of-24 for 212 yards and two touchdown passes. Travis also carried the ball four times for 38 yards, a 9.5-yard per carry average.

Clemson is #8 in the nation in total defense, allowing just 246.7 yards per game. The Tigers are also the #9 pass defense in FBS, permitting only 148.7 passing yards per game. The opportunistic Tigers defensive unit ranks among the FBS leaders with three fumble recoveries. Linebacker Wade Woodaz has two interceptions.
Florida State vs Clemson Prediction
This game is being viewed as a potential preview of the ACC final. This game opened as a pick’em, perhaps due to concern about Travis, who was seen with his arm in a sling post-game last weekend. However, it’s his non-throwing hand.
Perhaps of greater concern was how easily Boston College was able to slow down the Seminoles run game. However, the key to this one could be Clemson’s #16 rushing offense going up against the #65 Florida State run defense.
Florida State vs Clemson Pick: Clemson Tigers +2.5 (-110)
