- FSU’s lowest graded offensive performers from the Clemson loss
Florida State moved the ball well enough to make things interesting against the Clemson Tigers , but too many mistakes prevented the Seminoles from turning 415 yards of offense into a win.
FSU threw for 350 yards and averaged 6.7 yards per play in the 36-24 loss, but four turnovers, four sacks, and a 1-for-10 showing on third down repeatedly stalled the offense.

Pro Football Focus ' initial offensive grades reflected some of those issues. Three of FSU's five lowest marks came from players who handled substantial roles, while one came from a receiver who appeared for only three snaps.
Here are Florida State's five lowest-graded offensive players from the loss.
T-4. Devin Carter — 56.1
Carter matched Daniels' overall grade but did so on only three offensive snaps, all of them passing plays. His 57.2 receiving grade therefore comes from a much smaller sample than the other players near the bottom of the report.
T-4. Ashton Daniels — 56.1
Daniels finished with a 60.2 passing grade and 50.9 rushing mark while playing every offensive snap. PFF also charged him with two penalties, adding to a night in which FSU's offense struggled to consistently finish drives.

3. André Otto — 55.1
Otto played all 68 offensive snaps at left guard, making his grade one of the more significant among the bottom five. His 43.8 pass-blocking grade was his biggest issue, while he finished with a 58.8 run-blocking mark.
2. Chase Loftin — 53.5
Loftin played 18 snaps and graded considerably better in pass protection than elsewhere. His 70.1 pass-blocking grade was encouraging, but a 54.4 receiving mark and 53.3 run-blocking grade pulled down his overall score.
1. Landen Thomas — 47.4
Thomas received FSU's lowest offensive grade across 28 snaps. The tight end earned a 48.9 receiving grade and a 53.7 mark as a run-blocker, while his 54.8 pass-blocking grade also remained below average.
