What a game!

No. 5 Clemson outlasted No. 16 Wake Forest 51-45 in double overtime on Saturday afternoon.

Clemson's defense had a tough outing but signal-caller DJ Uiagalelei had their back with an impressive performance with 26 completions for 423 total yards and five touchdowns.

Clemson narrowly survives Wake Forest. It marks their 63rd consecutive win when leading at halftime (next longest active streak is Texas A&M, 26).

DJ with an all-time special performance today when the team needed it the most. We’ll remember that for a while.

That was as good as we've ever seen DJ Uiagalelei play. It was also as bad as we've ever seen the defense play.

Final takes:

1. Being a fan is STRESSFUL. Would much rather be playing lol. No clue how y’all have done this for so long. ?

2. DJ is a dude. We all can shut up now. He’s got it. Shipley, a dude. He is who we thought he was.

3. Defense…lord have mercy.

This is exactly why divisions are dumb. I don’t think there’s a question Clemson and Wake are the two best teams in the ACC and one of them won’t make it to the championship game
— DeColdest Debro (@CamLemons_) September 24, 2022

Clemson has now won 15 in a row against Wake

WHAT A WAY TO START WEEK 4 ?
