Tigers Looking To Give Themselves Shot
In ACC Title Hunt?
The Clemson Tigers come into this one looking to build on their 24-14 win over Virginia Tech last time out. After this game, Clemson will head home for a non-conference date with the Citadel.
Hey, so Cade Klubnik has been killing it with 2,275 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions, completing 63.1% of his passes. And get this, he's also rushed for 300 yards and 4 touchdowns! Phil Mafah is the running back to watch, racking up a cool 981 rushing yards and 8 TDs. When it comes to catching, Antonio Williams is the main man with 40 receptions for 468 yards and 6 TDs, while Bryant Wesco Jr. isn't far behind with 19 catches for 332 yards and 2 scores. Jake Briningstool is also making waves with 35 receptions for 388 yards and 5 TDs. The defense is solid too, with Wade Woodaz leading the pack in tackles with 61, including 33 solo tackles. T.J. Parker and Sammy Brown are bringing the heat with 5 and 4 sacks respectively. Altogether, Clemson's defense has notched up 18 sacks and 11 interceptions this season. Pretty impressive, right?
Panthers Looking To Show Out On Senior Day?
The Pitt Panthers come into this one looking to bounce back from back-to-back losses after a 24-19 loss to Virginia last time out. After this game, Pitt will head on the road for a matchup against Louisville.
Eli Holstein has thrown for 2,174 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions on 61.9% passing while Desmond Reid has rushed for a team-high 670 yards and 4 touchdowns. Konata Mumpfield has a team-high 35 receptions for 560 yards and 3 touchdowns for Pitt’s receiving group while Kenny Johnson has 391 receiving yards with 3 touchdowns. Desmond Reid has 428 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns while Censere Lee and Raphael Williams Jr. each have 250+ receiving yards on the year as well. On defense, Donovan McMillon has a team-high 77 total tackles while Rasheem Biles, Jimmy Scott, and Kyle Louis each have 5 sacks with Louis logging a team-high 4 interceptions. As a unit, Pitt has a team-high 30 sacks and 12 interceptions.
The Clemson vs. Pitt Game Prediction!
The Pick: Clemson -9.5 -110
I'm kinda feeling Clemson for this one. I see the appeal of rooting for Pitt as the underdog at home on senior day, but the Panthers have been playing risky all season and it's starting to backfire, like it did against SMU and Virginia. Clemson won't have another conference game after this, so I think the Tigers will come out strong to secure their future. I'm going with Clemson on this.
