Virginia 2-0 on The Road

Virginia is 2-1 in conference play, with the offense averaging 37 points on the road. However, both of those games were against below-average and average teams. The Cavaliers have been in a win-loss cycle, with an inconsistent offense and a decent defense. Virginia hasn’t faced much adversity this season, having been involved in only 2 close games.

Last week, Virginia lost at home to Louisville, 24-20. It was a defensive 1st half, and the Cavaliers ultimately suffered a tough loss. Virginia excelled in a few offensive categories and performed well on 3rd down conversions. While the Cavaliers’ defense may hold up at times against Clemson, they likely won’t be prepared for that Tiger offense.

Clemson Offense Great at Home

Clemson is in 1st place in the ACC and has a record of 4-0 in conference play. The Tiger offense is averaging 55 PPG at home, and all 3 games have been blowout victories. For most of the season, the defense has performed slightly above average, usually allowing 2 TDs per game. Clemson is back home after two road games and is ready to score 50 points again.

Last week, Clemson defeated Wake Forest on the road, 49-14. The Tigers’ offense didn’t score in the 1st quarter but then put up 42 points in the next two quarters. The defense pitched a shutout in the 2nd half. The Clemson offense recorded 566 yards and performed well in rushing defense. The Tigers controlled time of possession and were nearly perfect on 3rd down conversions. Clemson will be looking for a quick start on offense and aims to score in every quarter.

Virginia vs Clemson Prediction

Clemson is back home, and the offense typically doesn’t start off slow at home. The Tigers score at least 50 PPG and allow very few points on defense. Virginia has been involved in somewhat close games, but they haven’t faced a highly ranked team yet. Clemson’s offensive output is double that of Virginia’s.
