Week 6: vs. Clemson Tigers

If the Demon Deacons wants to put the rest of the ACC on notice, there is no better way than with a win over the team that has won the ACC the past three years: the Clemson Tigers.

The Tigers not only have been one of the best teams in the ACC under Dabo Swinney, they have been one of the best in collegiate football. While there is some question at quarterback, the Tigers expect to be in discussion for the College Football Playoffs at the end of the year.

However, Wake Forest played them tough in Death Valley last year, losing by a score of 28-14. Now with this year’s contest at BB&T Field, the Demon Deacons could pull the upset.
