DJ Uiagalelei outduels Sam Hartman to give Clemson statement win over Wake Forest

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Clemson just passed its biggest test yet.

Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to tight end Davis Allen and Clemson’s defense stopped Wake Forest one possession later as the No. 5 Tigers escaped with a 51-45 double-overtime win over No. 21 Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon at Truist Field.

Uiagalelei threw for 371 yards and five touchdown passes and outdueled Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman (337 yards, six touchdowns) in a battle of ACC Atlantic Division heavyweights. The win sets Clemson up for a huge home game next week against No. 12 N.C. State.
