November has been Clemson's finest month of the season thus far as they backed up the Notre Dame win with a demolition of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and enhanced to 6-4. Just how did Clemson's opponents fare this past weekend?Week One - Fight it out 6-4) - 47-45 2OT Loss to North CarolinaThe Blue Devils started the period 4-0 however have gone just 2-4 since. That includes the injury to Riley Leonard versus Notre Dame that hindered their season. A goal with simply 41 seconds staying put Fight it out ahead 36-33, however Drake Maye got the Tar Heels ready for a 43-yard basket to send the video game to overtime. The 2 teams traded basket in overtime number one, followed by North Carolina racking up a touchdown with a two-point conversion in the second overtime and Duke failing their two-point shot after a touchdown to end the video game. Grayson Loftis tossed for 189 lawns and 3 goals and Duke included 179 backyards on the ground but they were outgained 537-379 in defeat. The Blue Devils close with Virginia and Pittsburgh and need to be 8-4 with a wonderful bowl video game in their future. Speaking of futures, what will come to be of Mike Elko? The Duke head coach is being pointed out for every single open task and is taken into consideration a primary candidate for Texas A&M's open 2 - Charleston Southern 4-6) - 14-12 Loss to Robert MorrisThe Buccaneers was up to the Colonials in Moon Town, Pennsylvania and are currently ensured a losing season. They will certainly close with a roadway video game at Gardner-Webb to complete out the 2023 Three - Florida Atlantic 4-6) - 22-7 Loss to East CarolinaThe Owls remain in complimentary fall setting after a dispiriting loss to the distressing East Carolina Pirates. Florida Atlantic took care of only 172 yards and just 2. 5 lawns per play on violation. They were 5-22 on third and fourth down attempts, transforming the ball over on downs four times and throwing one interception. They have currently lost 3 of 4 and close with video games versus Tulane and 4 - Florida State 10-0) - 27-20 Victory Over MiamiFSU's march to the University Football Playoff continued as they knocked off Miami for the 3rd straight season. The Seminoles got a big punting return followed by an obtaining goal from Keon Coleman to hide the Hurricanes at 27-13 and after that sealed the handle an interception of Tyler Van Dyke on a desperation 4th down heave. Van Dyke got in the video game after an injury to starter Emory Williams. While Florida State was much from best in this one, they are still unbeaten and have locked up an area in the ACC Championship 5 - Syracuse 5-5) - 28-13 Sway PittsburghThe Orange stopped a five-game losing skid with a 28-13 gain the Pitt Panthers. Dino Babers was clearly tired of even attempting to throw the sphere after weeks of horrible quarterback play and a lot of interceptions. The Orange tried just eight passes, running the round 66 times for 382 lawns. Dan Villari had 154 on the ground, LeQuint Allen added 102 and Garrett Shrader had 96 with a goal. The protection held Pittsburgh to only 269 yards of infraction and compelled four turnovers. Syracuse currently has two opportunities to make a championship game and possibly save Babers' work. They dip into Georgia Technology likewise trying to make a championship game) and afterwards host Wake 6 - Wake Woodland 4-6) - 26-6 Loss to NC StateWake Forest having a horrible crime under Dave Clawson feels wrong but below we are. The Demon Deacons have actually just split 20 points one time in ACC play and that was a 24-21 loss to Duke. They handled just eight first downs and 163 yards in the demoralizing defeat to the Wolfpack. Wake Woodland currently needs to defeat both Notre Dame and Syracuse to reach a championship game. One does question if head trainer Dave Clawson has actually struck his head on the ceiling at Wake Woodland and seeks a leave from Winston-Salem Will Marcy Jersey. Week Seven - Miami 6-4) - 27-20 Loss to Florida StateMario Cristobal had actually seen enough of Tyler Van Dyke and gave real fresher Emory Williams the begin against the Florida State Seminoles. The Hurricanes were hardly ever a hazard through the air as Williams was just 8-23 prior to entrusting an arm injury and FSU keyed in on stopping the run Matt Heavner Jersey. Miami's defense battled and made Florida State job however a large punting return from Keon Coleman established a short touchdown again, for Coleman) to put FSU in advance 27-13. Miami scored to cut the deficiency in fifty percent and had the sphere with a chance to link it up, but naturally, Tyler Van Dyke threw an interception to finish those hopes and the Hurricanes dropped for the 3rd straight time to their in-state rival. They currently play # 11 Louisville and close at Boston University. After defeating Texas A&M in week number two, hopes were high in Reefs Gables and the national media was so ready to state The U" was BACK. The Hurricanes are now barreling towards a 7-5 coating and still don't have an answer at 8 - NC State 7-3) - 26-6 Sway Wake ForestNorth Carolina State quarterback MJ Morris revealed that he would be redshirting this period and would not finish the advocate the Wolfpack. That produced a great deal of discussion yet this video game was not about the offense in all. NC State's defense secured the bad Satanic force Deacons offense for just 163 lawns and just 8 first downs as Dave Doeren's team enhanced to 7-3. Brennan Armstrong was back in as the starting quarterback and he was great yet it was never ever a competition as Wake Woodland just can not from another location threaten the NC State defense. The Wolfpack currently dip into Virginia Tech in a battle of two teams that are both 4-2 in the ACC prior to gathering North Carolina. One could make a debate North Carolina State is the third-best group in the ACC and Dave Doeren definitely is entitled to a great deal of credit. His name has actually been mentioned as a prospect for the Michigan State job and I believe Clemson fans would certainly delight in seeing him leave 9 - Notre Dame 7-3) - BYE WEEKThe Notre Dame Fighting Irish had the week off after playing in week no. They completed with video games versus Stanford and Wake Woodland and must finish the year at 9-3. All things considered, it will certainly finish up an underwhelming season for Marcus Freeman in year number Eleven - North Carolina 8-2) - 47-45 2OT Sway DukeThe North Carolina Tar Heels beat Fight it out sans Riley Leonard) in double-overtime, winning 47-45 to improve to 8-2. The previous three ACC video games are certainly eye-opening though as groups appear to have actually determined the Tar Heels improved protection. Virginia installed 31 points, Georgia Technology had 46 and Duke racked up 36 in policy before adding nine in the overtime periods. There are no inquiries concerning the offense though. Drake Maye threw for 342 lawns and Omarion Hampton had 169 backyards as UNC acquired 537 yards on an excellent Duke protection. UNC was 11-19 on 3rd down and 2-2 on fourth down. Clemson's protection will certainly have its hands full this Saturday. Week Twelve - South Carolina 4-6) - 47-6 Gain VanderbiltThe Gamecocks maintained dish hopes active with a definite win over a dreadful Vanderbilt group. The Commodores have reversed this season under Clark Lea but South Carolina fans will certainly be pleased their defense to have actually held any challenger in check. Spencer Rattler tossed for 351 backyards and Vanderbilt remained in the holiday spirit early, gifting South Carolina with two lost fumbles. The Rattler to Xavier Legette combination proceeds to be a deadly master plan for SC and one that Clemson will certainly require to pay very attention to in two weeks time in Columbia.
