No. 10 Clemson is looking for its 16th straight victory over Wake Forest to remain perfect in the ACC.

Tigers are back in the top 10 in the rankings for the first time since the start of last season, when they were No. 9. They are looking for their 10th win in their last 11 games. After three straight losses that included setbacks against Virginia and Louisiana by a combined four points, the Demon Deacons are coming off a win against in-state rival North Carolina State. Wake Forest is aiming to end a 15-game losing streak against the Tigers

Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik should feast on Wake Forest’s pass defense. The ACC's sixth-best passer, Klubnik has 1,219 yards and 14 touchdowns. Demon Deacons have given up more than 291 passing yards per game, which may be a potential mismatch. As Clemson's leading rusher, Phil Mafah is expected to continue his hot streak as he has had three games with 100 yards or more this season and has found a rhythm behind the Tigers' improved offensive line. In a 29-13 win over Florida State, he tallied 154 yards.

Clemson defense should dominate this game, with their formidable defensive line leading the charge. Known for their ability to pressure quarterbacks and disrupt the backfield, the Tigers' defensive front is anchored by standout players who excel in both pass rush and run-stopping situations. This unit's tenacity and skill make them a significant challenge for Wake Forest's offense to overcome.
