Week 5: Clemson vs. Virginia Tech

It’s rematch time. These two met in the ACC Championship Game, with Clemson holding off a late charge by the Hokies to win by a touchdown.

As we mentioned discussing Week 2, the Tigers have plenty of questions that need to be answered on offense, not the least of which being who will throw the ball. But they also have Deon Cain, who might be one of the most dangerous offensive playmakers in college football this year.

The Hokies feature a very strong offensive line and running back in Travon McMillian, which should be a very fun matchup against crazy-good Clemson’s defensive front.

That battle will likely have a lot to do with the outcome. If Virginia Tech can somehow control the line of scrimmage, then a win is certainly possible at home.
