The Seminoles victory ended Clemson’s seven game winning streak overall and its 11-game winning streak in conference play.
Florida State jumped ahead 17-0 in the first quarter and never looked back as the Tigers committed four turnovers, the same amount the first team offense had committed over the first six games.
Clemson will attempt to get back on the winning track at Maryland October 26. It will be Clemson’s final trip to face Maryland in a conference game as the Terps move to the Big Ten next year.
Clemson has won six consecutive games away from home, and a seventh straight would be the longest road winning streak for the Clemson program since the 1978-79 era.
Men’s Golf (@ClemsonMensGolf)The Clemson men’s golf team concluded its fall season with a 15th place finish at the US Collegiate Championship at the Golf Club of Georgia in Alpharetta. The tournament included five of the top 10 teams in the nation in a truly national field. Clemson will conclude the fall having played one of the top three schedules in the nation according to the Sagarin Computer.
Stephen Behr led Clemson with a 219 score for the 54 holes, three over par. He finished 34th overall. Miller Capps was the second best Tiger with a 224 score, while Cody Proveaux finished with a one under par 71, the top score by a Clemson golfer at the event.
Women’s Golf (@ClemsonWGolf)Clemson’s women’s team will return to action for the first time in three weeks for the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C., where it will face some of the top teams in the nation. It will be Clemson’s last tournament of the fall.
Clemson is led by Ashlan Ramsey, who is ranked as the fifth best player in the nation according to Sagarin. She has won her last two events, including the Ruth Chris Tar Heel Invitational. Sloan Shanahan is ranked as the 26th best player in the nation by Sagarin and has been Clemson’s second best player all year.
