Wake Forest becomes Clemson's sixth-straight blowout victim

CLEMSON, S.C. _ A couple of weeks ago, the Clemson-Wake Forest game looked like one that would decide the ACC Atlantic and could be Clemson's toughest test of the regular season.

The Demon Deacons were 7-1, ranked in the top 20 and had an offense ranked in the top 15 nationally.

Instead, the Tigers did to Wake Forest what they've done to every other team they've played for the past month and a half _ absolutely dominated them.

Clemson crushed the Demon Deacons 52-3 on Senior Day at Death Valley, improving to 11-0 (8-0) with only one regular season game remaining. The Tigers held Wake Forest, which was playing without two of its top three receivers, to barely more than 100 yards of offense.
