Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson says there are certain games you never get over, and last season’s double-overtime loss to Clemson is one he will take to his deathbed.
Clemson has won 14 in a row in the series against the Demon Deacons, including a 51-45 shootout into two overtimes in Winston-Salem last season. Sam Hartman threw for 337 yards and six touchdowns to set a program record for Wake Forest.
Wake Forest appeared on the verge of ending its long skid in the series when it pushed near midfield on a potentially winning drive late in regulation.
