FSU remained in control for most of this game but continued to keep the door open for the Orange to make it close. They finally pulled within a TD in the last minute but the Seminoles held on for the win.

Another tight game despite FSU being in the lead for much of it. The Hurricanes surprise the Seminoles with a field goal, successful onsite kick and a TD all in the last two minutes to take the lead. QB Jordan Matthews mounts an impressive drive in last minute to go the length of the field and cap it with a 30 yard TD pass with 0:03 left.

In one of the most intense, gut-wrenching games in memory. FSU allowed Clemson to take a 23-0 in the 1st half thanks to turnovers (Seminoles had 6 in the game). Making matters worse was losing star QB Jordan Matthews for the year to a foot injury. Behind new QB Robbie Jones, FSU rallies to take an improbable 26-23 lead in the 4th quarter. With Clemson down to their last opportunity, they delivered with a 55 yard TD run on final play of game. This loss was even more difficult to swallow as it marked another year of missing the ACC Championship Game.
