When is FSU football vs Clemson? Time, date, TV, prediction for Week 11 game
FSU football defensive lineman James Williams talks defensive improvements, Clemson game
FSU football defensive lineman James Williams talks defensive improvements, Clemson game
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.

Here’s when the Seminoles and Tigers square off this week.
Florida State football schedule: FSU’s next game
FSU travels to Clemson on Saturday in their Week 11 game. The game will air on ACC Network.
Can I watch FSU football game on YouTube TV?
ACC Network is part of the ESPN family, so unless a new carriage deal with Disney is reached before Saturday, YouTube TV will not carry the game. Streaming options include Fubo, which offers a free trial for new subscribers.
What time is FSU vs Clemson?
The Seminoles and Tigers kick off at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.
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

2 Florida men arrested after scamming $20K from man in California
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.
