Clemson fans finally had an offensive highlight worth watching on repeat Saturday night, and it arrived when the Tigers needed it most. Tait Reynolds turned a potential collapse into a celebration with a 79-yard touchdown run that sealed a 36-24 win over Florida State.
Facing third-and-19 with the Seminoles suddenly within five points, the freshman quarterback escaped containment and sprinted down the sideline. His touchdown with 3:17 remaining gave Clemson the breathing room it needed to leave Tallahassee with a victory.
The Tigers improved to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in ACC play, bouncing back from last weekend’s frustrating loss to Virginia Tech. Clemson has now won five consecutive visits to Doak Campbell Stadium and 10 of its last 11 meetings with Florida State.
Reynolds finished with 189 passing yards and two touchdown passes, connecting with tight ends Christian Bentancur and Olsen Patt-Henry. He added 85 rushing yards, providing the defining moment of a much-needed offensive breakthrough.
Nolan Hauser continued his outstanding season by making all five field goal attempts, while Clemson’s defense forced four turnovers and registered four sacks. Elliot Washington accounted for two interceptions, with Jerome Carter II securing another.
Florida State’s fourth-quarter rally made the finish uncomfortable, but Reynolds ensured the Tigers had a better ending this time.
Here’s how social media reacted to Clemson’s road victory over Florida State and Reynolds’ game-sealing touchdown.
