CLEMSON — Despite technically holding a position as a cornerback, Avieon Terrell makes plays all over the field for Clemson.

The Tigers earned their second home win this season against Florida State on Saturday, securing a 24-10 victory with domination coming on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Clemson handled business and brought pressure from all sides, attacking Florida State’s Tommy Castellanos-led-offense directly.

Terrell spoke after the game about the plan coming and what they needed to do to earn a win.

“Punch them in the mouth,” Terrell said. “They have very good players, so the key was just to punch them in the mouth and do our jobs.”

The Tigers (4-5, 3-4 ACC) certainly punched the Seminoles’ offense in the mouth, allowing a season-low 360 yards to a team that averaged 510.5 per game coming in, which led the nation with their top-tier offense. In addition to limiting their yards, Clemson’s defense earned six sacks and picked off Castellanos once, all of which came in the second half. They also recovered a fumble in the first half.

After scoring on their opening drive, the Tigers held strong and stout, refusing to allow any scores until late in the second quarter. The only other score that Clemson allowed came in the fourth quarter in the form of a single field goal.

“It felt good,” Terrell said. “Everyone was locked in this week, and it showed on the field. Corian Gipson was making plays, and Ricardo (Jones) was making plays, so it felt good. Everybody played well, the whole secondary, and my performance was just doing what I needed to do.”

Terrell earned two sacks by himself, as well as a breakup that nearly became an interception before bouncing out of bounds. Cornerback Ashton Hampton led the team with 10 tackles and two breakups, and the rest of the secondary played hard and brought pressure, forcing Castellanos to complete only 53 percent of his 43 passes.
