Clemson Tigers vs. Virginia Tech Hokies game prediction
Despite rarely playing each other all that much within the context of ACC play, we should be getting an incredibly compelling game in this one. Look for both teams to play well in all three phases. Clemson may have the edge on defense and special teams, but Virginia Tech arguably has the upper hand on the offensive side of the ball. Look for this tight game to be decided by only one possession.
With it potentially being a chess match between Franklin and Tom Allen, this game might actually be won while Clemson is on offense and Virginia Tech is on defense. Because Clemson is the far more reliable team in the second half, look for Gideon Davidson to deliver the knockout punch on a well-orchestrated drive by Tait Reynolds. He will have finally played his best game in a Clemson uniform.
After this win, Clemson might very well end up being the fourth best team in the entire conference.
Week 8 final score prediction: Clemson 24, Virginia Tech 18.
