The game between No. 4 Clemson and Florida State was postponed when medical personnel from both schools could not agree on playing Saturday.
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced the postponement a few hours before the Tigers and Seminoles were to play at Doak Campbell Stadium. No makeup date was announced.

Star Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence was scheduled to make his first start since Oct. 24. He has missed the past two games, including the 47-40 double overtime loss at Notre Dame, after testing positive for COVID-19.
Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said the school had followed all ACC protocol in the week leading to the game.
According to the ACC, the postponement followed Saturday morning’s game conference call. Medical personnel from each team were unable to mutually agree on moving forward with the game.
Our first priority is the health of our student-athletes, and I appreciate the protocols that have been put in place by FSU and the ACC to ensure everyone’s health while allowing us to play this season. It’s unfortunate that we will not have the opportunity to compete today, but we hope to be able to play Clemson in December. I am thankful for the support and coordination between our administration, Clemson and the ACC office. Our team will now turn our focus to hosting Virginia next week.
Mike Norvell, FSU head coach
