The All-ACC matchup between the No. 10 Clemson Tigers (4-1, 1st ACC) and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (2-3, 6th ACC) is scheduled to take place on Saturday at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium. The game will be covered by ESPN.
The only game Clemson has dropped this season was against the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 0. Apart from that, they have been fairly dominant under the reigns of Dabo Swinney. On the other hand, the Wake Forest are coming off a nail-biting victory against NC State last week.

Clemson vs. Wake Forest game preview
Clemson started the season, scoring only three points against the Bulldogs, but since then, quarterback Cade Klubnik has performed admirably, throwing for 1,219 yards, 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. He has a healthy 64.3% pass completion rate.
For the Tigers, their defense has always held their end of the bargain but sometimes even they have been compromised. Like the game against NC State, where they slipped up 35 points, even more than what Georgia scored against them. If there's one way Wake Forest is going to land an upset is by making a mess out of their defense.
Ahead of the game, speaking to reporters, Dabo Swinney had good things to say about Dave Clawson's program:
“Excited to have another opportunity to just keep getting better,” Swinney said. “Wake Forest, it’s a typical Dave Clawson team: well-coached, play hard every snap, fundamentally sound, incredibly disciplined, challenging scheme that’s well put together, and they’ve got some playmakers.”
The Demon Deacons will be led by quarterback Hank Bachmeier, who helped the team snap a three-game losing streak with a win against NC State. In that game, he threw for 154 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
All Demon Deacons can take away from this game is to beat a top FBS program and maybe make a dent in Clemson's chance to make the 12-team playoff field.
