What is at stake?

The Tigers are back in the top 10 of the rankings for the first time since the start of last season, when they were ranked No. 9 in the preseason. They are looking for their 10th win in their last 11 matches. The Demon Deacons are coming off a much-needed win against national foe NC State after three straight losses, including setbacks against Virginia and Louisiana by a combined four points. Wake Forest is looking to end a 15-game skid in the series.

Key match

Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik vs. Wake Forest’s pass defense. Klubnik ranks sixth among ACC passers with 1,219 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has cut down on his mistakes with just two interceptions in 143 attempts this season. This could be a potential mismatch with the Demon Deacons being last in the league in passing yards given up at over 291 per game.

Players to watch

Clemson: RB Phil Mafah has three games with 100 yards or more this season and has found a rhythm behind the Tigers’ improved offensive line. He is coming off a season-high 154 yards in a 29-13 win at Florida State.

Wake Forest: RB Demond Claiborne. Claiborne had what appeared to be a dislocated kneecap against Louisiana Tech, though trainers essentially reset it and he returned for a 60-yard TD run before sitting out the rest of the way due to pain. He followed that up by running 20 times for 136 yards and two touchdowns to go with a TD catch in the NC State win.
