Bronco vs Dabo. Dabo wins, but Bronco stays within the point spread. Bronco has his best team since arriving in Charlottesville. Clemson clobbered Virginia 62-17 in the ACC Championship game last year. I thought Bronco would start Mississippi State transfer Keytaon Thompson, but he started Brennan Armstrong, who had a great first game. Virginia played fast, and when Bronco plays fast, he knows he has a solid offense and defense.

Clemson comes into this game with an extra week of rest and preparation. Its offense should be able to make plays consistently against a Virginia defense that was a bit shaky versus Duke. With the way the Tigers' offense can put up points, their defensive performances tend to get overshadowed. I believe it will be tough for Virginia to find the consistency on offense it will need to keep pace with Clemson.
