00:00Let's go to the ACC to Tallahassee, Florida State at one and four welcomes in Clemson,

00:09who has won three consecutive games since the opening loss of the year against Georgia.

00:15And coach, you can almost hardly believe the number for a game at Doak Campbell, Clemson

00:2016 and a half point road favorite as that line continues to work in favor of the Tigers.

00:27Just how competitive do you think today's tilt is between the Noles and the Tigers?

00:30I'll tell you how competitive I think it's going to be.

00:34I'm taking Clemson against the spread.

00:37I mean, they're two programs going in different directions and Florida State has no answer

00:41for their biggest problem quarterback.

00:43They're going to go with Brock Lynn, this game, the quarterback that backed up GJU.

00:49He did not have great games last year in the two games that he played.

00:53They just don't have an answer there.

00:54They've got one of the worst offense out of 133, 15 points a game.

01:01They can't put any points on the board.

01:03On the other hand, Clemson has just taken off since that first game.

01:06And in that first game, remember they were, they were winning six at halftime and they,

01:11I think they played the game too close to the best, trying to hang on at Georgia, but

01:15they've exploded.

01:16The quarterback, K Club, Nick has done incredible deep, long, big plays.

01:20Not only do I think Clemson winning, I see them being against the spread as well.

01:24Coach, we talked about it during the week that it could potentially be Florida State's

01:28Superbowl, right?

01:29They have nothing to play for in regards to this matchup, but there's so many concerns.

01:34They can't run the football.

01:35They can't stop the run, penalties, turnovers.

01:39If you were a head coach in Norvell's spot, what can you do to at least make them competitive

01:45in tonight's game?

01:48You know what, at this point right now, one and four, I go through my roster and I pick

01:53out the guys that want to play, the guys that won't, and you've noticed in practice,

01:58remember this NIL thing, a lot of people, Florida State, excuse me, a lot of the players

02:03went to Florida State because they were 13 and one last year, they wanted to play for

02:07a championship.

02:08And I believe once they go to one and four, a lot of those guys aren't there for the right

02:13reasons and you lose them.

02:14So I'd make sure and look them in the eye, make sure you got players that are serious

02:18about it and want to win that football game, in that football game.

02:21I believe if you got to go with some young kids, go with some young kids and get ready

02:24for the future.

02:25Coach, as you well know, FSU in danger of having one of their worst seasons in a very

02:30long time, not less than five wins in Tallahassee since 1975, and then your father, the legendary

02:38Bobby Bowden took over the next year in 1976.
