Clemson closes out perfect ACC slate by handling Wake Forest in home finale

CLEMSON, S.C. — No. 1 Clemson closed out its ACC slate, and its home slate, in stye Saturday, scoring touchdowns on three of its first four possessions to stomp out any chance of a Wake Forest upset. The Tigers’ 33-13 win got them to 11-0 on the season, 8-0 in ACC play and 7-0 at home.

That may not be the end for Clemson in Memorial Stadium this year, though: Coach Dabo Swinney promised a pizza party for the Death Valley faithful if his team makes the College Football Playoff. And if the Tigers win at South Carolina next weekend and beat Coastal champion North Carolina in the ACC title game a week later in Charlotte, North Carolina, they will likely accomplish just that.
