GAME NOTES: The Clemson Tigers will wrap up their ACC slate this weekend, as they take on the Virginia Cavaliers at Scott Stadium. The Tigers entered the season as ACC favorites, but they have failed to live up to expectations and come into this game just 3-4 within the league. One of those league wins however, came last weekend, a 31-7 triumph over Duke. It was the second victory in the past three outings for the Tigers, who are now an even 2-2 under interim coach Dabo Swinney. Clemson, which is 5-5 overall, will wrap up its regular season campaign against South Carolina on November 29th. As for Virginia, it was idle this past weekend following a 28-17 setback at Wake Forest on November 8th. The loss was the second in row for the Cavs, who had won four straight prior to the recent struggles. Virginia sits at an even 5-5 overall and 3-3 within the league and this will be its last home game of the season. The Cavs won the last meeting with Clemson, 30-10, in 2004, but the Tigers still hold a 35-8-1 advantage in the head-to-head series.

The Tigers are averaging 120.6 rushing ypg and 229.1 passing ypg this season, but they have slowed themselves down with turnovers, committing 24. Last weekend, Clemson didn't commit a single turnover and it rolled up 466 total yards of offense in a 31-7 win over Duke. C.J. Spiller turned in quite a performance, as he rushed for 71 yards and a score, while also catching seven passes for 108 yards and another touchdown. The versatile back has really come on strong and he ranks second on the team with 506 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He has also been a factor in the passing game, racking up 25 catches for 379 yards and three more scores. James Davis is the team's top rusher with 569 yards and eight touchdowns and he was also a factor in the win over Duke, posting 43 yards and two scores on nine carries. Quarterback Cullen Harper enjoyed a solid performance last weekend as well, throwing for 292 yards and a touchdown on 20-of-26 tosses. Harper hasn't lived up to expectations, but he has played better of late and has now thrown for 2,075 yards on the year. His main target is Aaron Kelly, who paces the team with 52 catches, 542 yards and three touchdowns. Last weekend, Kelly hauled in 10 passes for 96 yards in a winning effort.

Clemson has done a good job on the defensive side of the ball, as it is holding foes to a mere 18.2 ppg and 304.4 total ypg. The defense has been especially strong against the pass, limiting teams to just 163.5 ypg. The Tigers have also picked off 11 tosses while allowing just 10 passing touchdowns. Last weekend, Clemson put forth a stout effort on defense, as it limited Duke to just 168 total yards. The defense gave up just 85 of those yards through the air, while coming up with two interceptions and three sacks. Brandon Maye and Kavell Conner each had eight stops and sack in the win, and Michael Hamlin also finished with eight tackles to go with an interception. On the year, Conner tops the roster with 79 tackles, while Hamlin ranks second with 75. Hamlin also has a team-high four interceptions to his credit.

The Cavs don't possess all that explosive of an offense, as they are producing just 17.6 ppg and 315.8 total ypg on the year. The team has really struggled to find success on the ground, rushing for just 95.7 ypg. Turnovers have also been an issue for Virginia, which has committed 25 on the year. In its last game, Virginia posted just 307 total yards and turned the ball over four times in a 28-17 loss at Wake Forest. Quarterback Marc Verica threw for 279 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the loss, but he was also picked off three times. That has been the case all season for Verica, as he has tossed 12 interceptions against just eight touchdowns. He however, has been effective in completing 64.5 percent of his tosses for 200.0 passing ypg. Kevin Ogletree has been his favorite outlet, plucking 50 passes for 640 yards and five touchdowns. He made six catches for 95 yards and a score in the loss to Wake Forest. In the backfield, Cedric Peerman leads the way with 662 yards and seven touchdowns and he is averaging a solid 5.4 yards per carry.

Defensively, Virginia has done a decent job this season and is allowing 23.0 ppg and 341.5 total ypg. The unit has struggled a bit against the run (152.3 ypg), but has done well in holding opponents to just 189.2 passing ypg. Getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks has been a strength of this unit, which has racked up 28 sacks. In their loss to Wake Forest, the Cavs' defense was rather strong, giving up just 273 total yards. The unit recorded three sacks in that loss, while registered one turnover. Antonio Appleby led the team in defeat with 13 stops, while Jon Copper had 10 tackles and a sack. Clint Sintim also had a sack, bringing his total to 11 for the season.

The Tigers have played well over recent weeks and with another solid effort on both sides of the ball they should be able to continue that trend this weekend.
