[@GoNoles2028]

It’s just a clever play form fsu

[@GoNoles2028]

Because that line thought they had everyone covered and that somewhat late blitz was perfectly time to fit that gap

[@GoNoles2028]

And that guy they are doubling is Jared verse one of the best defensive linemen in the country

[@swisscheese7708]

The defender got there so quickly because the rb missed the assignment the coach spoke about this during the game the rb was supposed to block the blitzer

[@DNReacts]

Thank you, appreciate the info 🙏

[@marvinlawrence]

#7 is first responsible for the extra man coming on the blitz..... If no blitz then he can go out as a receiver. That was a blown assignment. Fair play to FSU that blitz was well disguised and well timed.

The pass interference early on was from earlier in the play, they didn't show it on here but the defender pushed the receiver out of bounds and that's why the pass wasn't catchable

Clem and FSU are 2 of the elite tier programs in college football so that is why Clem fans were so hyped for the game their fans in general are some of best in college football when they are home it's really hard to overcome their home field advantage

[@Cfbknower]

Keon Coleman vs LSU highlights are crazy. He had 3 TDs in that game and has lots of other crazy highlights already. He’s a beast

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

As a Michigan fan I couldn't be happier he is playing well for FLORIDA St and not MICHIGAN St. He was the only player that played really well for Sparty last year vs Michigan. Also, what's with FSU getting great players in the portal that play for schools in Michigan? They also got a great DL from Western Michigan, Braden Fiske. I feel bad for these MAC schools like WMU who are losing all their best players. Since I live in Kalamazoo, I go to a few WMU games every year and when I'm watching a player have a good game I think to myself, "I wonder where this guy is going to be playing next year". Now Western won't be able to have years like 2016 when they went undefeated and went to th Cotton Bowl because all your young talent just leaves. Sucks, but that's how it goes.

[@Cfbknower]

@@Jon.A.Scholt I have a lot of family that went to Michigan so I grew up rooting for them and remember Coleman being the only bright spot on MSU last year in that game. He was very close to coming to FSU out of high school but that was right after Taggart was fired so it was a mess until Norvell was able to turn it around. And Norvell is extremely successful in the portal, so whenever top guys go into the portal, he usually lands them. He got Jermaine Johnson who went on to be a first rounder, Jared Verse who is likely a top 5-10 overall pick, etc. Fiske’s hometown is 15-20 mins from Notre Dame and I was pumped when we beat them and USC out for him. Transfers love Norvell and staff bc they say they’re the most genuine and realest coaches they’ve talked to and I think that definitely resonates with transfers since they gotta make that decision count.

[@gracielynn9623]

The lost to Duke isn’t necessarily why Clemson isn’t ranked. They fell from 9th to 25th after that loss. However, in their next game against a FCS team they had a miserable performance. They eventually turned up the gears in the second half to blow them out, but it was utterly disasterous for them in almost the first three quarters. That performance finished bumping them out of the AP top 25.

[@Drkfire_Yt]

Ill say this, if evry1 new that duke would b 4-0 rt now clemson wouldn't have dropped so far.

[@claytonmoore3027]

@@Drkfire_Ytwell they are 2-2 now so Clemson should not be ranked anyways at this point

[@Cfbknower]

Also on Coleman’s first TD that was so open, the FSU coach set that play up earlier in the game as a normal screen pass since Clemson has a very aggressive defense. He called a similar play on the TD, but baited them and got the defense to bite on another screen but then Coleman cuts up field while the defender is over-pursuing

[@TroySteele17]

FSU back on the 90’s and early 2000’s no one wanted face, Clemson then took over the ACC. Let’s Go NOLES!!

😅 Thanks for the comment and the sub, welcome to the channel. Appreciate it!

[@bryanhenchik6580]

Hey guys great review as always. Florida State was a powerhouse team back in the 90s and start of 2000, then they seemed to have lost some of their sizzle. That is something that happens in college. Teams will rise for awhile and then grow cold for awhile. This year is classic for this as Bama, Clemson are examples of teams that might be cooling off a bit while Texas and FSU are starting on their upward trajectories. Even Georgia and Michigan have been that way the last few years while Ohio State and Bama have been slowing down. It actually is good for the sport, but for us fanatical fans, it is heartbreaking to seem them get so close and then lose. But that is why it is bigger than NFL, more teams, shorter season, every game counts. You guys picked a good season to start watching as it's starting to look like a good one developing. That blitz you were asking about looks like the RB missed his assignment. The blitz coming from the corner, sets it us as a bit of a delay so the RB would miss it. Glad you guys are enjoying the season so far, although Damo, I hope PSU doesn't make it too 12 and 0, as I want my Michigan Wolverines to end up there again. Keep up the great reviews!!

[@dro2real836]

As a Florida State fan, I had to tell my friends who are hurricanes and gator fans that exact same thing the pendulum of college football always swings back the other direction. Florida State was literally a powerhouse in college football for nearly 4 decades. It was inevitable that they would get back to being good, you really got to give a tip of the hat to Mike Norvell. He has been smart with his recruiting and smart with the transfer portal. He knows what type of player will fit his system and does a great job developmentally.

[@MeanGene404]

Jonathan Wiet, the kicker that missed the field goal for Clemson, wasn't even on the team a couple of weeks before this. He had been the backup kicker last year.

[@DNReacts]

Oh wow, that’s crazy! Thanks for the info

[@chriskahle9266]

I was at this game. Electric atmosphere. Great game. Just didn’t end the way I wanted to. Clemson had more overall yards, dominated run game, more first downs, way more time of possession. FG miss was a pain but can’t blame that kicker since he just joined the team last week after taking online classes. Fumble was huge momentum swing. Credit to FSU they showed up and made the plays they needed to make to win and Clemson couldn’t do that. Just gotta move on and get better each week. Go Tigers!

[@wellsrogers685]

I was at a sports bar near fsus stadium for this because I went to school there, best game watching evenvironmnet ever after the fumble

[@areguapiri]

A "blitz" is when someone other than the normal defensive lineman goes full speed for the quarterback on a pass play. They can do at the snap of the ball, or they can wait a second after the ball is snapped. The key is to do it when the offense is not expecting it. Therefore, their blocking plans aren't prepared for the "blitzer".

[@Cfbknower]

This was only Clemson’s third loss at home in the last 10 years… Super hard to win there and great game.

[@cnote101]

watch oregon state vs washington state, was also this past weekend and was by far game of the weekend.

[@lilJJslayer]

damn he hit that turbo button and boom that was sick 10:29

[@gregcable3250]

On the defensive touchdown from the sack fumble, FSU runs a delayed blitz allowing no. 7 for Clemson who is responsible to for blitz pick up, to think nothing is coming and he can safely leave the backfield open to go out to be a "safety valve" receiver for the QB--he was mistaken.

[@boblaymon5450]

The reason Clemson was so amped up for this game, aside from it being against a top 5 team at home, is if they lost this one it would really mark the end of a dynasty. They’ve won 10+ games every season since 2010, and they’ve hardly had multiple conferences losses in a season, let alone before October. It’ll be interesting to see if they can stay focused the rest of the way, given that their main goals for this season are no longer possible

[@crypt_yt9328]

U do realize they can still bounce back right?

[@matthewhowell4060]

@@crypt_yt9328but they’re essentially (but not completely) out of contention for the ACC championship since there aren’t divisions in the conference any more. Which also means they’re pretty much out of contention for the CFP as well.

[@brendanlynch9694]

11:20 that running back (#7) has to realize theres a massive gap to the right and block that unblocked blitzed

[@brendanlynch9694]

blitzer*

[@aznravechild6i9]

The scary thing is that Jordan Travis is playing injured. He went down last week favoring his non-throwing arm and his ribs so the playbook was limited. He's usually very slippery and very hard to bring down which adds a whole other dimension for defenses to account for.

[@darrinlindsey]

On that sack, the RB was supposed to stay in the backfield to pick up any blitzers.

[@chasewilliams1286]

This is a rivalry game

[@thenoleboy]

FSU vs Clemson has been a big rivalry for years, two teams that are generally good and even FSU's legendary coach Bobby Bowden used to coach against his Son Tommy when he was Clemson's head coach. As far as that still frame on the blitz where they stripped it and returned it for a touchdown, the running back should have been protecting the right side for a blitz and just missed the guy coming in so he released out to be an option to have the QB throw the ball too. Keep up the content, love seeing the reactions!

[@DNReacts]

Appreciate the info and the comment, makes sense, thank you for the support 🙏

[@jartstopsign]

Yeah #7 at RB completely whiffed on picking up the blitz, but it looks like the play was designed to have him as a safety valve receiving option which is probably part of why he was paying zero attention to the blitz.

[@tylerthrift4840]

The boys reacted to my alma mater! GO NOLES! You were correct at the end, we beat LSU week 1. Which was an incredible game, very much worth a reaction as well if you feel so inclined.

[@Corumred]

For the Scoop-and-Score for Florida State, the Running Back was going on his route as the defender got into the backfield, but Klubnik should have looked around and seen the defender b-lining at him and scrambled.

[@Beltran15x]

11:26 mafa(#7) is on a delayed route hes supposed to block if theres pressure then run his route if their is none, he doesnt see the blitzer to his far right. so he runs his route. also hes the running back its not like he has the same skills/vision as a lineman.

[@DNReacts]

Thank you, loved that you enjoyed, we’re loving this journey

[@nathanstroud2223]

Florida State and Clemson **were** in the same division prior to this season, but the ACC changed their scheduling format this year to get rid of divisions. So instead of the conference being divided into 2 divisions of 7 teams each, it's now just one big pool of 14 teams with each team having 3 permanent rivals that get scheduled every year. I say "permanent rivals," but I guess some of those permanent games will have to change with new teams coming in next year and other teams potentially leaving, so we may only have this arrangement for this year. The Florida State-Clemson rivalry is what led to a lot of the criticism of the division format, because both teams being in the same division made the ACC lopsided. Clemson and Florida State of the Atlantic Division have combined to win all but one of the ACC Championship Games dating back to 2011, meanwhile there was a seven year stretch from 2013 to 2019 where all seven teams in the Coastal Division took turns winning the division and representing the Coastal in the conference championship game, only to lose to the Atlantic Division champs every time. The Coastal just lacked any dynastic programs that were good year in and year out. It was always a crapshoot to see who would come out on top.

[@TrulyLucky]

Could you watch ksu vs UCF? Dj Giddens went crazy in that game and just won national running back of the week

[@brandonnettles5031]

7 was supposed to pick up the blitzing LB on the fumble

[@larry7960]

Since the linebacker was lined up so far away from the line, the QB thought either 1. No way he’s blitzing, 2. If he is blitzing, he’s too far to make it to me before I release the ball. I’m sure the linemen and Running Back were all thinking the same too. So as long as the defensive backs can cover just a tad bit longer than usual the LB has a free shot at the QB.

[@paulyoung6040]

BTW,the hash marks on the college game is wider than the pros

[@MartyV_]

The short of the rivalry: FSU used to dominate when they came into the same conference, not just against Clemson but they were a great program nationally. Clemson started winning about 50/50 of the matchups when FSU stopped being great. Then about 12 years ago, FSU won the title, went on a little streak against them. But Clemson took the reigns, has dominated over the last 8 years, won 2 national championships. This is FSU trying to take the reigns back from Clemson and become a national powerhouse again.

[@franklinterrell9392]

It was a blitz, and the RB missed his assignment. WTS, because the defender had to come from so far away, the QB should've picked him up and gotten rid of the ball.

[@brosciencegutfeelings7058]

When the D brings the blitz, the cornerback’s normally who defend the wide receivers, break off and rush the QB…

[@jamarforde7561]

That blitz was just a very good play call by Florida State. You don't see a lot of blitzes from the cornerback (the person who guards the wide receiver). But when it is called, usually the offence is not expecting it. Clemson did not expect a cornerback blitz, the corner blew up the Quarterback, fumble, touchdown Florida State

The blitzer was a linebacker. He's fast af so I could see why you would think he was a CB lol

Go Noles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dennislopez1272]

Ok, lads. I played defense for 8 years and coached some as well. This is a little more difficult cause, theoretically, the runningback (#7 Phil Mahfa) is responsible for the blitzer. This was a good job by the defender. He timed his blitz perfectly. The RB is charged with picking up the blitz, but if a blitzer isn’t coming, he's supposed to leave the backfield and become a pass catcher. The defender waited just enough time so the back wouldn't think he was coming. The RB then started to leave the backfield. The quarterback has to have a mental clock in his head that should start to ring after about 3 or 4 seconds. The blitzer didn’t come from his blindside so he should've been able to see him. Sometimes, more than one guy can be at fault. This is one of those times. Cant wait for my Hurricanes to play FSU. I can't stand that team. We are bitter rivals. One of the best rivalries in all of college history. We play each other every year. Miami/FSU this year is gonna be a monster of a game. The U is back this year and will more than likely be undefeated when we play them. It's gonna be a classic. This rivalry has made for some of the greatest games in the history of the sport.

[@Beltran15x]

the ball doesnt decide pass interference if a defender impedes the route they are running before the ball is thrown to them, its till pass interference you cant tug on a player to slow them down if they get by you etc. you cant interfere with a recievers ability to run his route.

[@prodarchangel]

Keon Coleman. Remember the name

[@nathanjamesm]

This is a rivalry for past 10-13 years. Winner likely goes to Natl Championship. Clemson was hyped at Home off loss to Duke.

[@DerekEvans1013]

Technically that was a conference game. The ACC ended divisional play this season. Otherwise, you'd be correct...Clemson and FSU were both in the same division up until this season. Great game though. Better than most anticipated. Unfortunately my Tigers lost that one....damn

[@RomesThe59]

Clemson and Florida State are rivals but not arch rivals. However, they are the two most prestigious programs in the conference (along with Miami but they have not had success in recent years) which amps up the rivalry. Especially with Florida State being picked to take the conference back from Clemson who took it from Florida State 7 years straight.

[@a00141799]

Good job guys. The experts seem to have been a bit too generous to many of the traditional powerhouses like Clemson, Bama, LSU etc this year. There aren't many teams without glaring deficiencies, particularly on the defense. Keep in mind that pretty much every year the best players on the team leave for the NFL or just graduate and lose eligibility. So teams are always integrating young, less experienced players into critical starting roles. And lets not forget how very young these guys are. 19, 20, 21 year old's playing in front of a live crowd of 60K to 100K, and millions on TV. College football is brutal both physically and psychologically. 🚑 My son play golf in college! Graduated this past June. ♥

This is gonna be a rough year as a Clemson fan. I can tell you what happened on the fumble play though- since Phil Mafah (#7) didn't get the handoff, he's supposed to help block. I'm guessing he didn't see the Florida State defender. This is why Mafah is Clemson's backup running back- he'll have a long run like he had in the clip before the fumble, then have a bad play like that.
