TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Clemson got three total touchdowns from quarterback Tait Reynolds, while kicker Nolan Hauser drilled five field goals, as the Tigers defeated Florida State 36-24 at Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday night.

Reynolds finished the game with 189 passing yards and two touchdowns on 18 of 32 passing. He also ran for 85 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown. After Florida State cut a 19-point Tigers’ lead to five points, Reynolds raced 79 yards for a TD on third-and-12 with 3:17 left to seal the victory.

Meanwhile, Clemson’s defense forced a season-high four turnovers, including a pair of interceptions by Elliot Washington II, and the unit tallied nine tackles for loss and four sacks.

Clemson became only the third program ever to win five consecutive road games against Florida State in Tallahassee, joining Florida (six straight from 1966-76) and Miami (five from 1957-77).

The Tigers improved to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the ACC, while Florida State fell to 3-5 overall on the season, including 1-4 in ACC play. Following a third straight defeat, the Seminoles fired head coach Mike Norvell.
