Clemson will play its first ranked opponent of the season on Saturday, as the No. 5-ranked Tigers will face off against the No. 21-ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
Although Clemson enters Saturday as the favorite to win, multiple Tigers will be under the spotlight to see how they perform against one of the best teams in the ACC.
