Stats & Storylines: Resounding win over Wake shows Clemson is still Clemson

Wake Forest traveled to Clemson on the heels of one of their biggest wins in program history. The Demon Deacons edged NC State in a thrilling shootout that put them in position to win the Atlantic Division for the first time since 2006. The win pushed them to No. 10 in the college football playoff rankings.

Meanwhile, Clemson’s previous game was a struggle against one of the worst teams in the FBS, UConn. They couldn’t run the ball against a defense that everyone had run against successfully. The Tigers entered with a slew of injuries too. Their top four wide receivers from the start of the season were out and QB DJ Uiagalelei was playing through knee and finger injuries.
