Kickoff Time, TV Channel Announced For Florida State's Crucial Road Game Against Clemson
Florida State is preparing for its ACC Opener on Saturday afternoon against Boston College. The next two games won't be easy for the Seminoles as they get ready to hit the road for consecutive weekends in hostile environments. While the Eagles are the focus this week, it won't be long until FSU travels to a building they haven't won a game at in ten years.

On Monday, the ACC announced game times and television information for contests that'll take place during the weekend of Saturday, September 23. According to the Atlantic Coast Conference, the game between the Seminoles and Tigers will kick off at 12:00 PM ET on ABC.
The Seminoles haven't defeated Clemson in nine years and haven't taken down the Tigers in Death Valley since 2013. The last two matchups have been particularly agonizing for the program.
Florida State led 20-17 in the fourth quarter on the road against the Tigers in 2021 before ultimately falling 30-20 after Clemson scored the game-winning touchdown with 2:53 remaining.
Last year, the Tigers traveled to Tallahassee and dominated during the middle portion of the game. Clemson scored a combined 17 points over the final 1:51 of the first half and the opening 19 seconds of the third quarter. Florida State trailed 34-14 with 7:32 remaining in the third frame but battled back to lose by six points.
At the time, the loss to Clemson was FSU's third consecutive defeat during the 2022 season. Since then, the Seminoles have won eight straight games while scoring 35+ points in each of the victories.
Despite Clemson currently being unranked and the team's struggles early in the year, the path to the ACC Championship still goes through the Tigers until someone takes it from them. Florida State can begin that process starting next weekend.
The Tigers will take on Florida Atlantic on Saturday night in what will be their second of three consecutive home games.
