Dabo Swinney and Clemson didn’t look great in their 17-12 win over Wake Forest on Saturday as the Tigers scraped by the Demon Deacons for a Homecoming win.
On offense, the Tigers struggled throughout the game as they couldn’t find a way to consistently put together scoring drives. It was a poor performance from Garrett Riley’s unit, which looked underwhelming for most of the game.
On the other side of the ball, Clemson’s defense looked excellent. They bottled up Wake Forest starting quarterback Mitch Griffis and the Demon Deacons offense, making it a long day for Wake Forest.
It wasn’t the performance any of us were looking for from this team, which has happened more often than not this season. Here are five takeaways from Clemson’s uninspiring Week 6 win over Wake Forest.
