No Sammy Watkins, two new quarterbacks and a no feature running back, yet Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher says No. 23 Clemson is the same efficient offense it has been when Tajh Boyd was managing the ship and setting all kinds of ACC and Clemson records.

“I don’t see a lot of big difference, I really don’t,” the Seminoles’ head coach said.

What Fisher sees in the stats book and what he sees on film might be two different things. Statically, the Tigers (1-1) seem to be their same productive selves. Clemson is averaging 513 yards and 47 points per game after the first two weeks.

The running game is not great, but it is averaging 178 yards per game despite using four different back to get the job done, while the passing game once again seems to be one of the ACC’s best as Clemson averages 335 yards per contest.

But stats can be deceiving, especially when the Tigers racked up 735 yards and 73 points in a lopsided victory over FCS foe S.C. State last Saturday in Death Valley.

“I still see a very dynamic team,” Fisher said. “They may change a route or two, that could be because of a receiver or you expanding your offense, but I don’t see a huge, huge change in everything they are doing.”

Clemson might not be changing what it wants to do but it’s very obvious it will not be the same team the top-ranked Seminoles have faced the last three years when the two tangle at Doak Campbell Stadium next Saturday in Tallahassee.

The Tigers are in what seems to be a little quarterback controversy between senior Cole Stoudt and freshman Deshaun Watson, though head coach Dabo Swinney says that’s not the case. Regardless, the fans are shouting for more Watson after he has led the Tigers on five touchdown drives in the eight possessions he has come in.

But Stoudt, despite the criticism and the Watson demands, has been very productive with his opportunities, too. He has led Clemson on eight scoring drives, including five touchdowns, while completing 38 of 60 passes for 446 yards and a touchdown.

Watson has completed 10 of 13 passes for 213 yards and four scores, while not throwing an interception.

Swinney has gone on record saying it’s a good thing that he has two productive quarterbacks he can count on. For Fisher and the ‘Noles it’s a headache. Though he says it will not change how Florida State game plans against the Tigers.

“I think Stoudt has done a really good job. You go back, he’s still running the ball down in different situations and running their counters and powers and quarterback runs and pulling it,” Fisher said. “Deshaun, when he comes in, he has his package and the things he does. I think they are throwing the ball extremely well. I think Stoudt makes great decisions with the ball, drives the ball down the field, and is a very good passer. I think definitely because he’s a little more athletic (Watson can run well), but Stoudt still runs the ball. But I think those are the things that you have to prepare for all spread teams now, and I think they have become more the norm than the exception.”

Or at least that is what Clemson is perceived to be.

“Well, I’m going to tell you what, they are still just as effective,” Fisher said. “They throw the ball extremely well. I think their receivers — they are very dynamic at wide out. I think they have good backs, and I think their line has done a good job.”
