Stats To Remember From FSU's Loss To Clemson

• Starting quarterback Tommy Castellanos completed 23-of-43 passes for 250 yards and one touchdown Saturday at Clemson. He added runs of 26 and 24 yards, his longest of the season. The 26-yard run came on 4th-and-2, while the 24-yard run was on 3rd-and-10. 

• Castellanos has thrown for at least 250 yards four times in 2025 and eight times in his career.

• Wide receiver Duce Robinson tied a career high with nine catches for 124 yards. Robinson has four 100-yard receiving games in 2025, the most in a season for a Seminole since Rashad Greene had eight in 2014.
