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.
