Clemson vs Wake Forest Prediction
Last time out, Clemson hosted Louisiana Tech and cruised to a 48-20 victory. It was a slow start for Clemson as they led just 10-0 after the first quarter and 13-6 at the half, but they made the correct halftime adjustments and dominated the final 30 minutes. Clemson scored 21 unanswered points in the third quarter to pull away and the two teams each scored 14 points in the final quarter. Three different Clemson passers combined to go 20/35 for 241 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Clemson ran the ball 39 times for 280 yards, a 7.2 average, and four touchdowns in the win. Defensively, the Tigers allowed 323 total yards and forced four Bulldogs turnovers, three interceptions and one recovered fumble.
Wake Forest hosted the Liberty Flames and squeaked by with a slight 37-36 win. This was a crazy game that had an even crazier fourth quarter and ending. The Demon Deacons led 3-0 after the first quarter, and 20-8 at the half, but Liberty scored 15 unanswered points in the third quarter to take a surprise lead. There was 30 combined points in the fourth quarter and Wake Forest clinched the win after stopping Liberty on a two-point conversion with 1:11 left. Sam Hartman went 26/44 for 325 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in the win. Jahmal Banks hauled in six balls for 55 yards and two touchdowns on the night. Defensively, Wake Forest allowed 428 total yards and forced four Liberty turnovers, three interceptions and one recovered fumble.
Series History: Clemson has won 13 consecutive meetings and leads the all-time series 69-17-1.
Pick: I think Wake Forest keeps this close, and could potentially win, so take the Deacs and the points.
