Clemson leads Wake Forest 28-14 at halftime in a closer game than expected

Dabo Swinney and the Tigers lead Wake Forest 28-14, heading into the locker room for halftime.

It was a slow start for the Tigers, who looked like a team that was taking Lake Forest slightly to start the game. Going down 7-0 early in the game, Clemson’s offense didn’t score points in the first quarter for the first time since week one. The Tigers needed to recover, and that’s exactly what they did.

It started with a 22 yard touchdown pass from starting quarterback Cade Klubnik to star wide receiver Antonio Williams. A couple of bad Wake Forest interceptions lead to two rushing touchdowns, with Clemson leading the Demon Deacons 21-14 with a few minutes left in the second quarter.

Avoiding heading into the half on their heels, Nick put together an awesome final driver of the half. Connecting with Troy Stellato on an 8-yard touchdown pass, Clemson heads into the locked room up 28 to 14. The Tigers’ offense continues to look strong, but there are some serious worries on my end about this Clemson defense.
