The Florida State Seminoles are coming off their first victory in over a month. The Seminoles blew out Wake Forest over the weekend, moving back to .500 on the season with four games remaining.

Despite a four-game losing streak, FSU still has an opportunity to make a bowl game. The Seminoles will have to win at least two of their final four regular-season games.

The next challenge awaiting Florida State is a conference game against the Clemson Tigers in Death Valley on Saturday night. The Seminoles are 0-2 on the road and haven't looked anything like the team we've seen in Doak Campbell Stadium.

Clemson has had a disappointing season of its own, putting up a 3-5 record through eight games. The Tigers began the season in the top-5 but quickly fell out of the rankings and have yet to recover.

To kick off the week, Florida State released its weekly depth chart.

On Monday, the Seminoles unveiled their two-deep for the matchup against Clemson. There weren't many changes to note this week.

On offense, redshirt sophomore running back Samuel Singleton Jr. has been elevated to a co-starter alongside redshirt junior Gavin Sawchuk at one of the running back positions. Singleton Jr. had a breakout performance against Wake Forest.

Redshirt senior Roydell Williams was previously the co-starter with Sawchuk. Williams moves to the other running back position, slotting in as a co-starter with redshirt junior Jaylin Lucas and true freshman Ousmane Kromah.

On defense, redshirt senior linebacker Stefon Thompson is back on the depth chart. Thompson is a co-starter with redshirt junior Omar Graham Jr. at JACK. The veteran defender missed the last two games due to an injury suffered in the loss to Pittsburgh.
