CLEMSON, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Clemson takes down Wake Forest in a nail-biter to remain undefeated.

The Tiger’s offense got off to a quick start by scoring on their first drive with a pass to Jake Briningstool for the touchdown. DJ Uiagalelei looked strong throughout the first half, throwing for 192 and connecting on nearly 64% of his passes.

Clemson expanded their lead to 14-0 before Wake Forest started to get their offense going.

However, Wake Forest began finding success on the offensive side of the ball.

Clemson’s secondary had multiple injuries heading into today, and Wake Forest took advantage by scoring twice through the air.

In the second half, both offenses exploded, combining for 8 touchdowns and over 50 points.

DJ Uiagalelei remained hot in the second half, finishing with 371 yards and 5 touchdowns. Sam Hartman finished with 337 yards and a school record 6 touchdowns.
