WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Clemson is about to find out if it still has Wake Forest’s number.
Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe’s team is looking to change that Thursday night when No. 21 Wake Forest plays host to the Tigers in what’s almost an elimination game between the two preseason favorites in the league’s Atlantic Division.
Under Grobe, the Demon Deacons (3-1, 1-0) have always been a pesky opponent for Clemson, but he’s only 2-5 against Tommy Bowden’s team and in the past two years his team has simply found ways to lose to the Tigers.
Wake Forest’s last win in the series came in 2005, the year before it emerged as an upstart by winning the ACC and reaching an unlikely Orange Bowl.
Clemson is coming off a 20-17 loss to Maryland, while Wake Forest will try and bounce back from a loss to Navy.
