TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida States offensive line was thought to be strength at the beginning of the season, especially with a mobile dual-threat quarterback. Instead it has been a disappointment.The 12th-ranked Seminoles (5-2, 2-2 ACC) go into Saturdays game against No. 3 Clemson with one of the worst pass protection units in the Football Bowl Subdivision. They have allowed 21 sacks, which is 106th out of 128 teams. It is also tied for third-worst among Power 5 schools.Things wont get any easier against the Tigers (7-0, 4-0). With 25 sacks, Clemson is tied for third among Power 5 teams and tied for fourth nationally.You have to get in front of them and block them. Its that simple. Put a hat on a hat and get an attitude, coach Jimbo Fisher said.Fisher and some of the linemen have pointed to technique as the root of the problems, but it is a variety of things.I think it is communication sometimes. Some plays we just have mental lapses or missed a call or assignment, tight end Ryan Izzo said. I think it is really frustrating. Sometimes you get in a groove and have a mental lapse that stalls the drive.Not all of the pass protection problems can be blamed on the offensive line. Quarterback Deondre Francois is a freshman and has had periods where he has held on to the ball too long, especially on deep routes. However Pro Football Focus, which grades offensive lines, has Francois being pressured on nearly one-third of the times he drops back to pass.Francois has taken his share of hard hits this season, including two in the Oct. 8 win at Miami where he was out for a series. Fisher has lauded Francois toughness, but everyone knows there are limits.It doesnt matter if hes hit one time or 40 times, hes frustrated. I would be frustrated too if my offensive line didnt protect me, and I got hit multiple times during a game, left tackle Rod Johnson said. He doesnt show his frustration though. I tip my hat off to him, but were going to keep those sacks to a complete minimum.Francois hasnt shown his frustration, but Fisher has on occasion. During an episode of Showtimes A Season Inside series, Fisher got in each offensive linemans face during halftime of the Oct. 15 game against Wake Forest and challenged them.A major focus of practice the past two weeks has been on trying to fix the mistakes.Its halfway through the season. Weve made mistakes, left guard Kareem Are said. Sometimes it has been a little bit sloppy, but now we have to take that to the next level.Despite having two defensive lineman drafted in the first two rounds, Clemson has one of the nations toughest defenses again. Of the Tigers 25 sacks, all but 5.5 are by the defensive line.Clemsons a really good defensive line, Are said. Theyre big guys. We just have to make sure we play physical and hold the point.Clemson will be focused on getting pressure on Francois, but some of the players think another key will be trying to contain running back Dalvin Cook.Florida States run blocking has improved since the beginning of the season as Cook has rushed for over 100 yards in four straight games. But a lot of his big runs have come on stretch plays as yards inside the hashmarks have been difficult.The Tigers enter the game allowing only 3.3 yards per rushing play, which is 20th in the nation.They are most similar to NC State last week, just the stretch plays they run, linebacker Kendall Joseph said. They have an exceptional talent in Cook and do a good job getting the ball in his hands.---AP Sports Writer Pete Iacobelli contributed to this report from Clemson, South Carolina.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.orgFollow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. Our experts weigh in on four of the biggest questions in NASCAR:Turn 1: Its the final chapter of Tony Stewarts career. How will he be remembered?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: Tony will be remembered as a wheel man, which translates to being able to drive anything, anywhere really, really fast. He will also be remembered as a bit of a mystery as it relates to his volatile personality. There are times when he demonstrates the highest form of intolerance for any and all. There are other times when he demonstrates deep concern, giving and compassion. He strikes me as someone who wakes up one morning communicating, I am who I am; you dont like it, tough! Wakes up the next day wanting the world to realize he is a pretty good guy. This I know for certain: Tony Stewart will be remembered as one of a kind.Someone takes this fair stuff pretty serious!!! @TonyStewart pic.twitter.com/46FKQPVqnL- Tony Gibson (@TonyOldman41) September 15, 2016Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: Among race fans, hell be remembered as the last gasp of the old school, the last of the beloved cranky a--h----. Thats a compliment. Thats a group that includes A.J. Foyt and Dale Earnhardt. You knew that you couldnt throw one by them and you knew that they couldve taken any type of car on any type track -- including your car on your track -- and figured out a way to beat you with it. Among non-race fans and among a lot of short-track fans, hell be remembered for that night at Canandaigua, and he knows that. I think thats part of why hell throw himself back into that industry that he loves so much once he has the time.John Oreovicz, ESPN.com: A lot of different ways. Its well documented that Stewart has a heart of gold and he plays well with fans. But when it comes to his fellow drivers and the media, hes a classic bully. I certainly respect much of what Stewart accomplished on the track in his career -- hes the rare modern-era driver who has done it all and done it well. Yet I believe he will be remembered more for his unpleasant behavior off the track -- the tantrums override the talent.Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: As a person who loved motorsports to its core and had an impact on anyone who races stock cars or sprint cars or late models or Modifieds. He believes theres a way motorsports should operate in every way at every level, and when it doesnt happen, its hard for him to accept that, on or off the track. And FYI, the career will continue -- just not in a Sprint Cup car.Turn 2: Which Chevrolet driver has the best shot to win the title?Craven: Without question, Kevin Harvick. Whats interesting is Chevrolet has eight cars in the Chase -- half the field. But only Harvick demonstrates week in and week out the ability to match the Toyota drivers. Thats because Harvick is an outstanding talent that only in the past three seasons has been acknowledged as such. Kyle Larson would be an excellent dark horse pick. He has the speed -- but probably not the experience -- to go all the way. Harvick has both.McGee: Kevin Harvick. I think momentum counts when heading into the postseason and he has a ton of it. His pep talk seems to have worked with his crew. And no one has more experience in this final four format than Happy.Oreovicz: Kyle Larson. The journey to his first Cupp Series win was longer and more frustrating than he or anyone else expected, but it was worth the wait.dddddddddddd Freed from that burden, were already seeing that the best is yet to come from this young man, and Chip Ganassi will not be satisfied until he adds a Cup Series title to his many IndyCar championships. With Larson, hes got a guy whos capable of doing that -- if not this year, than in the near future.Pockrass: Kevin Harvick. He is the only one with consistent enough speed to match the Toyotas on a weekly basis. He also has won the championship before in the elimination format. If anything, hes focused.Turn 3: Which Ford driver has the best shot to win the title?Craven: Probably Brad Keselowski. But Im not confident there will be room for a Ford in Miamis final four. The numbers simply arent adding up.McGee: Brad Keselowski. His teammate, Joey Logano, has run better over the month, but Keselowski has shown he can be consistent and win races. Hes won four times. History says that you have to reach Victory Lane to win this thing, and no one has done it more this season than Brad.Oreovicz: Brad Keselowski. You could say its pretty much a toss-up between Kez and Logano, but Brad has put together a more consistent season and is the Ford driver who looks most likely to win on a weekly basis.Pockrass: Brad Keselowski. He has found a way to win more often this year than Logano. Keselowskis win at Las Vegas shows its possible at an intermediate track under the 2016 rules package for a Ford to win. Or was possible.?Turn 4: Which Toyota driver has the best shot to win the title?Craven: Kyle Busch has the least amount of pressure as the defending champ and he is the favorite in my mind. Denny Hamlin is the one who could upset the apple cart, so to speak. His qualifying this year has been ridiculous. He has 24 consecutive top-10 starts, and 12th being his worst all year. Qualifying well is critical, because it establishes the tone for the weekend and creates momentum for the team.McGee: Martin Truex Jr. Based on everything I just said about Keselowski I should have picked Kyle Busch, right? Well, I mentioned momentum in regards to Harvick and Truex has every bit as much momentum as anyone. Yes, his luck has been awful this year, but even with that he stayed top 10 in points all season and earned a dozen top-10s. And I think theres something to be said about using up that bad luck in the spring and summer.Oreovicz: Kyle Busch. Hes the driver with the most talent within Joe Gibbs Racing and the one most likely to come through to score a race win when it really matters. Matt Kenseth should be strong too, but a bigger threat within the Toyota camp is Martin Truex Jr. in the Furniture Row Racing car. With JGR equipment and rising star crew chief Cole Pearn calling the shots, Truex has to be considered a favorite to make the final four at Homestead for the second year in a row.Pockrass: Carl Edwards. The Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. teams seem prone to too many mistakes. Matt Kenseth hasnt been as strong as his teammates. And Kyle Busch won it last year and would be too easy of a pick.
