WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson had an honest assessment after his Demon Deacons were thrashed 49-14 by No. 10 Clemson Saturday afternoon at Allegacy Stadium.
The Deacs were simply beaten by a better team.
Clemson improved to 5-1 overall and 4-0 in the ACC, while Wake Forest fell to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in league play.
Quarterback Cade Klubnik was 31-of-41 for 309 yards and three touchdowns. He added 30 yards on the ground on seven carries, but Phil Mafah led the rushing attack with 19 carries for 108 yards and two scores.
