And FSU put up nearly 100 more total yards but had an issue putting it in the endzone (which seems to be a common problem for them) and had 10 more first downs.  After the FSU score to make it a two score game with 9 mins left Clemson still had the starters in but struggled to move the ball.  One of the Clemson FGs were setup by a turnover on downs and they couldn't punch it in and put them away.

I would say foot off the gas is a bit generous.  By no means is this to discount Clemson but if you look at how the second half played out I wouldn't call it taking their foot off the gas ... FSU did make some solid adjustments.  Two Clemson scores were setup by turnovers (on downs and fumble) and they didn't have to travel that far to put up points.  If Cuse doesn't turn it over this could be interesting.

As for state scoring in garbage time that is true to a degree but it still made it a 1 score game with a minute left.  Similar situation with NC State ... two scores setup by turnovers and it was a 3 point game at half ... there is no doubt Clemson is talented I just think you are dismissing how close those games were.
