Clemson Football: Way too early game predictions for 2021 season
Clemson will have its final home game of the 2020 season against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and they will hope to send their seniors out in style. Wake Forest rebounded nicely last season after getting blown out by Clemson early, but stumbled a bit down the stretch and will look to regain that momentum.
Wake head coach Dave Clawson is one of the best in the business and will be able to have these guys playing well. I think that what he did last year while having some early opt outs was pretty great and got some guys some key experience. Clemson will be too much in this game however and finish another ACC season unbeaten.
Final Score: Clemson 35, Wake Forest 19 (11-0, 8-0 ACC)
One of the most heated rivalries in the country will return next season, but don’t expect this one to resemble a rivalry. After firing head coach Will Muschamp, South Carolina opted to hire Shane Beamer and the hire has been met with a lot of skepticism. Beamer is known for being an excellent recruiter and does well in press conferences, but the on-field results will be deciding factor and those will be tough in 2021.
Clemson will be looking to close the season out and get ready to make a statement in the playoff and get back to the national championship. South Carolina will just be another team in their way, who also happens to be a big rival. Clemson will win big here and head back to Charlotte for another ACC championship game.
Final Score: Clemson 52, South Carolina 14 (12-0, 8-0 ACC)
