Clemson is looking to snap their currently losing skid and jump ahead of Virginia Tech in the ACC standings. When the Tigers face Virginia, they aim to hand the back to back national champions their first loss of the 2017 season. In the last twelve matches for the Cavaliers, they have outscored opponents 60-2 in games.
