While Wake Forest fell again to Clemson on Saturday, the performance was an improvement upon 2018 and 2019 performances where the Deacs failed to score a touchdown. Mitch Griffis took care of that coming off the bench as the third quarterback of the evening and hooking up with Taylor Morin for a one-yard touchdown pass. Wake scored 13 in a 37-13 loss to #1 Clemson.

We dive into the numbers.
