Clemson vs Boston College Game Preview

Why Clemson Will Win

Oh, so NOW everyone is realizing that DJ Uiagalelei is a good quarterback.

He was plagued by dropped passes in the opener against Georgia Tech and wasn’t razor-sharp against Louisiana Tech, but he’s being careful with his throws – just one pick so far – and he’s accurate enough to keep the offense moving.

The Clemson defensive line hasn’t quite been the killer expected, but it’s about to have a huge day.

What’s Going To Happen

Again, there’s NO running game from Boston College to worry about.

The BC D has forced one takeaway so far against FBS teams. the offense will give it away multiple times, and Clemson will come up with a good balance to get through this in a win-and-move-on sort of way.
