Clemson is averaging a 165 yards rushing per outing vs a Wake DEF that allows nearly 150 yards a game. Wake averages 84 yards on the ground per contest vs Clemson rush D that allows 115 ypg. With this being said and the current weather conditions I have to side with Clemson here. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Clemson +2.5 (I’ll bought it to +3 just in case it goes to OT), Clemson ML and the UNDER!<o></o>
stats
wake gvs up rushing yards b/c teams cant pass well vs them, thus more rushing attempts. 150 is not that bad considering navy ran 95% ot the time padding the year total to 150 instead of 120
wake throws at about 60-40 vs run, skinner is throwing avg 32 plus times a game
clemsons rushing stats are misleading in my opinion
bama 240 clemson 0
ncsu 140 clemson 166
maryland 123 clemson 221
these teams below dnt cnt twrds stats in my opinion
citadel 89 clemson 252
s.c. state -10 clemson 189
i am firm in my opinion on stats as being misleading, i hate stats and averages
good luck with your plays, i like the idea of clemson at 3 and ml play
clemson will have a good shot at wake if they work 12-15 yards over the lb's in the middle and if they can shed db's in the bubble screens. if they pass well early clemson could hit the 150+ rushing yards as the field is spread and great speed at rb for tigers
as for wake i think they may jump on clemson with the run, tigers seem weak up front and in a spread they can have some success. gonna say wake has great success with run 2nite
good luck 2nite
