The Clemson Tigers and Demon Deacons met for the 73rd consecutive year, and as has often been the case, Clemson came away with a resounding victory. With the ACC expanding and dissolving divisions, the two long-time foes will not meet in 2025. Thus, it was fitting that Clemson fans took over Allegacy Field to watch the Tigers earn a dominant 49-14 win. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has never lost to Wake Forest, with this win marking Clemson’s 16th in a row.
Despite the final score, the Tigers got off to a rocky start. Deacon RB Demond Claiborne had some great runs, and QB Hank Bachmeier completed several passes into tight windows.
