Second-ranked Clemson continues to use this week to prepare for its third top 15 matchup in five games, as they travel to Blacksburg, Va., to take on No. 12 Virginia Tech in ABC’s Primetime game this Saturday at 8 p.m. at Lane Stadium.

In last Saturday’s 34-7 victory over Boston College, the Eagles were able to pressure quarterback Kelly Bryant, sacking him twice and causing an interception. Redshirt graduate and first-year starting center, Justin Falcinelli knows that cannot happen this weekend.

“I think a lot of it had to do with Boston College’s coverage was very good, so Kelly needed a little more time to release the ball,” Falcinelli said.
