Ten years ago, Florida State vs. Clemson was a clash of ACC football titans. It was FSU’s toughest test in its transcendent 2023 run. How the mighty have fallen.

Both are well out of the College Football Playoff picture and looking to regain momentum just for bowl season coming into this weekend’s showdown in Death Valley. Mike Norvell and Dabo Swinney are both fighting off questions about their job status each week.

The Seminoles (4-4, 1-4) are feeling better about themselves after a 42-7 demolition of Wake Forest last week with Tommy Castellanos throwing for 271 yards, 148 and a touchdown to Duce Robinson. The preseason No. 6, Clemson fell to 3-5 (2-4) with their second straight home loss, a 46-45 barnburner against Duke. Cade Klubnik isn’t a Heisman candidate anymore, but he is third in the ACC with 273.6 yards per game, including a career-high 385 with two touchdowns last week.

FSU vs Clemson prediction

What do we make of Florida State? Their offense ranks first in the ACC and their defense is second in points and third in yards, but the four-game losing streak that derailed their season featured some truly dreadful performances on both sides of the ball. Of course, Clemson has their fair share of awful losses on their register, perhaps not worse than last week’s defensive clunker against Duke. The Tigers are 10th in the conference on both offense and defense, so at least they’re consistent.

FSU has lost its last eight games away from Tallahassee, but Clemson is just 1-3 at home this season and hasn’t won a home ACC game since Oct. 19, 2024. The Seminoles may have found exactly the right time for this primetime road trip, seeing as they just picked up their first conference win since September 2024. Prediction: FSU 31, Clemson 28

Two Florida men were arrested in Port St. Lucie after being accused of conducting a bank scam on a man in California, police said.

Trey Romans, 21, is facing several charges, including one count of grand theft and one count of scheme to defraud, while Jean Dorcena, 25, was charged with one count of grand theft, one count of Scheme to defraud, and one count of unlawful use of a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.

According to Port St. Lucie Police, on Oct. 30, the man in California reported that he was scammed out of $20,000 after he received a call from someone who claimed they were a Chase Bank representative.

The victim told authorities that the caller said his account was compromised and told him to physically transfer his funds to another Chase Bank in Port St. Lucie.

After listening to the caller, the victim withdrew his money from the bank, put it in a yellow envelope and then mailed it through FedEx.

Police said that the victim became suspicious after sending the money, searched the address and found out it was a residential address and not a bank.

After the victim couldn’t reach anyone at FedEx because they were closed, he called local law enforcement, who told him to call PSLPD.

In Florida, officers were able to find the local FedEx distribution and take the package before it was delivered, and detectives set up a plan to lure Romans and Dorcena to the delivery location.

With the help of FedEx employees, the package was delivered to the Port St. Lucie address, and detectives saw the two suspects arrive in a Hyundai SUV.

Romans was seen getting out of the car, while Dorcena, who was the driver, stayed behind.

Body camera footage captured the two being arrested by police.

Police said they also spoke to the resident of the drop-off address, who told them he knew the suspects, and that Dorcena asked him if he could have a package delivered to his home, but not to open it.

The resident was not suspected of knowing what was being delivered to his home.

During a search of their vehicle, officers found around 17 grams of marijuana.

The two remain at the St. Lucie County Jail with no bond.

A check with the victim’s money will be sent to him.

ORLANDO, Fla. – More than 420,000 Floridians use WIC, according to a 2024 USDA report — the fourth highest number in the country.

However, those benefits are delayed for many in Central Florida due to the government shutdown, leaving families without a way to pay for baby formula and nutritional food for their children.

Destiny Perez-Prado is trying to figure out how she’s going to feed her seven children this month since her WIC and SNAP benefits are delayed.

“It’s still just heartbreaking, you know, to think that for Thanksgiving, we might not be able to celebrate Thanksgiving — you know, have the food that we need, food that would be typically accessible to us,” Perez-Prado said.

Her benefits pay for around $800 in groceries each month, and WIC specifically covers her more expensive items like baby formula, Pediasure, and other nutritional foods.

“It’s so expensive. Just a can of formula — the cheapest is $28, I believe. And it’s crazy. Some kids need specialized formulas,” she said.

Between being a single mother, college student, and self-employed, Perez-Prado says getting a second job to afford groceries is nearly impossible.

“I have two children with autism — a little girl and a little boy — and then my third with ADHD. So for that, you know, it’s hard for me to keep a consistent job, even with my degree,” she explained.

One Heart for Women and Children is stepping in to help Perez-Prado. Founder Stephanie Bowman says about 30,000 people in Orange County use WIC — and many of them now need extra help.

“We’ve had 500 calls just this week from individuals we’ve never seen or heard from before,” Bowman said.

One Heart typically helps around 20,000 people per month, but that demand is rising due to the shutdown.

“What we’ve had to do is give families less food — and we never want to do that. But we want to make sure that every individual who comes to us can get food,” Bowman added.

Perez-Prado says she’s working to become financially stable one day, but right now her priority is feeding her kids.

“You know, they still deserve to eat. They’re babies — they didn’t ask to be here. And even if we as parents didn’t go about it the way certain people think we should to avoid problems like this, it’s still a problem. We’re still here, and we still need help,” she said.
