Kickoff is closing in for Florida State's fourth home of the 2024 season as the Seminoles undergo final preparations to face off with the No. 15 Clemson Tigers. FSU is looking to pull off an unlikely upset after defeating the Tigers for the first time in nine years last season. On the other side, head coach Dabo Swinney will snap Bobby Bowden's record for most ACC victories with a win inside Doak Campbell Stadium.

The Seminoles will be switching quarterbacks entering the matchup as DJ Uiagalelei is dealing with an injury to a finger on his throwing hand. That means redshirt freshman Brock Glenn is being handed the reins for the third start of his college career - with all three coming against top-15 teams (No. 14 Louisville, No. 6 Georgia, No. 15 Clemson).

The Seminoles recently ruled out junior running back and standout specialist, Jaylin Lucas, as well as offensive lineman Richie Leonard IV for the remainder of the campaign.
