The Clemson football team will take on the Virginia Cavaliers in the ACC Championship. Here are five Tigers to watch in the matchup.

The Clemson football team capped off the regular season with a 38-3 blowout of in-state rival South Carolina.

The win gave the Tigers a perfect regular season for a second-straight year and pushed their winning streak up to 27 games. Clemson is currently ranked No. 3 in the nation and the Tigers are just one win away from getting back to the CFB Playoff and having an opportunity to defend their the National Championship.

For the fifth-straight season, Clemson football will compete for the ACC Championship. The Tigers have won the last four conference titles and, interestingly enough, have played four different opponents in each of the games.

This year will be no different. The Tigers will take on the Virginia Cavaliers, who locked up the ACC Coastal Division with a win over their rival Virginia Tech last weekend. The conference title game will be Virginia’s first-ever in school history.

The Cavaliers are led by a prolific quarterback in Bryce Perkins and will be looking to pull off a major upset Saturday night.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. on ABC and the Tigers are listed as 28.5-point favorites, courtesy of the Action Network.
