Clemson defeats Wake Forest, 34-20, in Atlantic Coast Conference play

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Artavis Scott took a touch pass from Cole Stoudt 68 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 10 minutes 53 seconds left, and No. 19 Clemson pulled away to beat Wake Forest, 34-20, on Thursday night.

Stoudt finished 27 of 42 for 282 yards with three touchdowns — two to Scott, one to Wayne Gallman — and Gallman added a late rushing score to help the Tigers (7-2, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 21 in College Football Playoff rankings) win their sixth straight.

John Wolford was 11 of 29 with two touchdown passes to Cam Serigne, covering four and 14 yards, for Wake Forest (2-7, 0-5). Mike Weaver tied it twice with field goals, including a 31-yarder that made it 20-all with 11:08 left.

On Clemson’s next play, Scott came in motion while Stoudt took the snap and tapped it forward. The freshman caught it and weaved through the right side and into the end zone.

Clemson’s No. 2-ranked defense forced a three-and-out and Gallman made it a two-score game for the first time with his touchdown run with 6:36 left.

The Tigers outgained Wake Forest 427-119. The Demon Deacons managed just seven yards on the ground.

Etc.

Florida State Coach Jimbo Fisher said reserve linebacker Ukeme Eligwe, a redshirt sophomore, was dismissed for a violating team rules. Eligwe missed the first four games of the season because of an injury and played one game in 2014. He had 28 tackles, two sacks and an interception in 2013.
