Clemson vs Wake Forest

The No. 10 Clemson Tigers overcame a slow start to secure a commanding 49-14 victory over Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, extending their winning streak to five games and maintaining their ACC lead. Despite trailing 7-0 after the first quarter, Clemson's offense responded with 28 points in the second quarter, led by quarterback Cade Klubnik, who threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Phil Mafah contributed significantly with 108 yards and two touchdowns, while wide receiver Antonio Williams and tight end Jake Briningstool made notable plays, including a touchdown pass from Williams on a trick play. The Tigers' defense, after a shaky start, turned the tide with two interceptions against Wake Forest's quarterback Hank Bachmeier, nullifying any chances of a comeback. Clemson's victory marks their continued dominance over the Demon Deacons under coach Dabo Swinney, who has yet to lose to Wake Forest. The Tigers will next host Virginia as they aim to build on their momentum.
