There are nearly 20 transfers on Florida State’s depth chart, with only a small group who have been in the program long enough to have played at Clemson in 2021. And there are only two who can say they have played at Clemson and won.

Jaheim Bell had just two catches for two yards but added nine carries for 29 yards and a touchdown in South Carolina’s 31-30 victory over No. 8 Clemson in November 2022. Bell and defensive end Gilber Edmond, who had five tackles, were part of the Gamecocks’ first win over Clemson since 2013.

Yes, the potential parallels can’t be ignored. FSU hasn’t defeated Clemson since 2014 and hasn’t won at Death Valley since 2013.

“I told those guys when I went there last year it was a very hostile environment,” Bell said. “But you just got to find that in-between point to have emotion and also be able to lock in. I’ve been telling those guys how it is down there. But once you hit them in the mouth a few plays, it will calm down.”
