Expert Selections, Real-Time Updates
Clemson has won 12 straight in the head-to-head series and hasn’t lost to a team with a losing record since 2010 — the last time Boston College beat them.
Clemson can win if
Cade Klubnik repeats his performance from last week. Against North Carolina, he went 22-for-24 for 254 yards and four touchdowns, easily his cleanest game of the year. The Tigers scored on their first four possessions, setting an early tone that erased recent offensive concerns.
The passing chemistry between Klubnik and Adam Randall, who caught two touchdowns, gives Clemson more balance alongside its ground game. The defense remains the foundation, holding opponents to under 290 yards per game and ranking top 20 nationally in sacks.
If Clemson plays clean football — no early turnovers and controlled tempo — the Tigers’ streak over the Eagles should extend to 13 straight.
Boston College can win if
They protect the quarterback and establish any semblance of a run game. Boston College managed only 27 rushing yards at Pitt and has been under 100 in four of five games this season. That imbalance forces Alabama transfer Dylan Lonergan into pressure-heavy passing downs, where he has taken multiple sacks.
The Eagles rank 11th nationally in passing offense (313.4 yards per game), but their offensive line must give Lonergan time. On defense, Boston College has been hit hard by injuries. Still, KP Price and Omar Thornton combined for 20 tackles last week, giving the Eagles some physicality at the second level.
If the Eagles can slow Clemson’s tempo early and hit explosive plays in the air, they have a shot to cover at home.

Matchup Breakdown
Clemson’s defense remains one of the ACC’s most efficient, ranking top 10 in yards allowed per play. Their front four, led by Peter Woods and TJ Parker, should dominate the trenches against a Boston College team that’s struggled to protect the quarterback.
Boston College has shown flashes through the air, but its defense ranks bottom 30 nationally in total yards allowed. The Eagles will need turnovers or special teams help to stay competitive.
