The Clemson Tigers have been white-knuckling it all season. Last week showed the Tigers’ vulnerabilities as they lost 43-42 to Pitt in a heartbreaker at home. Pitt broke Clemson’s record-breaking 21-game home win streak. Clemson was the clear favorite in that game as they were ranked No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Tiger’s fate was sealed when Pitt kicker Chris Blewitt slammed a 48-yard field goal with six seconds left.
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons proved that they can play with the big boys–they maintained a 12-0 lead over Louisville in the first half.
