Clemson players to watch
1. Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins will look to have a memorable senior day. Wilkins is fifth on the team with 40 tackles and second with 10.5 tackles for loss. Don’t be surprised if he plays some offense again as well.
2. Trayvon Mullen has been Clemson’s best cornerback this season. He will be tested against one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC and will need to play well.
3. Safety Tanner Muse has been playing great as of late. Muse leads the Tigers with two interceptions, and he had 10 tackles last week against Boston College.
Duke players to watch
1. Junior quarterback Daniel Jones is one of the best in the ACC. The dual-threat weapon has thrown for 1,948 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed for 327 yards and two scores, despite missing two games with an injury.
2. Senior receiver T.J. Rahming leads the Blue Devils with 53 receptions and six touchdowns. Rahming has accumulated 518 receiving yards and has also returned 18 punts for 101 yards, with a long of 32.
3. Junior linebacker Joe Giles-Harris leads the Blue Devils with 80 tackles and is second on the team with 6.5 tackles for loss. He missed last week’s game against North Carolina with an injury, but if he can return this week it would be a big boost for the Duke defense.
