1. Clemson Tigers: The vaunted Clemson defense looked mortal against the onslaught of Sam Hartman and the WF offense, but QB, DJ Uiagalelei, answered every time the Tigers needed him to respond. 371-yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions is, by far, his best performance yet. Clemson’s toughest game of the regular season is this Saturday when NCST comes calling in another conference defining matchup.
2. NC State Wolfpack: NC State beat up on a struggling UCONN team, winning big, 41-10. The two best defenses in the ACC and two of the best defenses, period, in college football meet Saturday night when NCST invades Death Valley for a game that has heavy ACC title and CFB playoff implications.
