The Match-Up
• Wake Forest is set for its 2015 road finale, heading to top-ranked Clemson for a 3:30 p.m. game on Nov. 21.
• The game airs live on ESPN2. It can also be heard on the Wake Forest Sports Network and online at WakeForestSports.com.

Wake Forest Storylines
• Wake Forest is playing its second consecutive top-five team, falling to No. 4 Notre Dame by a 28-7 score a week ago.
• In that game, the Fighting Irish jumped out to a 21-0 halftime lead and the Demon Deacons were unable to get back into it.
• Wake Forest out-gained Notre Dame 340-282 in total yardage. That was Notre Dame's lowest yardage output of the season by 150 yards (previous low was 432).
• Defensively, the Demon Deacons posted a season-high 10 tackles for loss, led by Duke Ejiofor (2.5) and Marquel Lee (1.5). Ejiofor, Dionte Austin and Tylor Harris each recorded sacks, as well.
Brandon Chubb became the 13th Demon Deacon to record 300 career tackles. With 85 in 2015, he is 15 away from recording 100 in back-to-back seasons after totaling 109 a year ago.
• Wake Forest is playing a 10-0 team for just the third time in school history. North Carolina claimed a 12-7 win in 1914 and Notre Dame earned a 38-0 victory in 2012.
• The Demon Deacons' 2015 FBS opponents have combined for a 66-44 overall record, including undefeated Clemson and one-loss teams in Notre Dame and North Carolina.

The Opposition & Series History
• Wake Forest is set to take on Clemson for the 81st time in program history, and for the 39th time inside Memorial Stadium.
• The Demon Deacons are looking to snap a six-game skid against the Tigers.
• Last year, Wake Forest was tied with then-No. 19 Clemson early in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers scored back-to-back touchdowns to claim the 34-20 victory on a Thursday night ESPN broadcast.
• The Tigers are the consensus top-ranked team, holding the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff, AP and Coaches' polls.

On Deck
• Wake Forest wraps up the 2015 season at home, playing host to Duke on Nov. 28 at 12:30 p.m. at BB&T Field. The game will be broadcast live on the ACC Network.
