Tait Reynolds scores 3 touchdowns in Clemson's 36-24 win over Florida State

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) --- Tait Reynolds threw a pair of touchdown passes, his
first in more than a month, as Clemson jumped out early and held off a late
rally, defeating Florida State 36-24 on Saturday night.
The freshman quarterback had not thrown a touchdown pass in four games, but he
connected with Christian Bentancur and Olsen Patt-Henry on first-half touchdown
passes as Clemson led 23-10 after 30 minutes.
Reynolds sealed the win with a weaving 79-yard touchdown run on third-and-12
with 3:17 left for Clemson (5-3, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). He completed
18 of 32 passes for 189 yards.
Nolan Hauser made five field-goal attempts --- from 50, 49, 46, 35 and 35 ---
as Clemson won its third straight game in the series with Florida State. Hauser
has made 23 of 24 field-goal attempts in 2026.
Ashton Daniels threw three interceptions and also fumbled. He completed 21 of
33 passes for 350 yards, a 46-yard touchdown pass to Micahi Danzy, a 41-yard TD
pass to Jasen Lopez and a 13-yard touchdown run but Florida State (3-5, 1-4)
lost its third straight game.
Clemson starting left guard Elyjah Thurmon laid on the grass for about 10
minutes in the second quarter before being strapped to a backboard. He gave a
thumbs up while being driven off the field on a cart.
The takeaway Clemson scored on 8 of 13 drives, before taking the victory formation in the final minute, in its most efficient performance against a Power 4 opponent. Florida State played its first game without leading rusher Ousmane Kromah. The Seminoles managed just 65 yards rushing on 29 carries.
