Key Storylines
- Clemson's Recent Resurgence: After a challenging start to the season, Clemson bounced back with a dominant 38-10 victory over North Carolina. Quarterback Cade Klubnik threw for 213 yards and a touchdown, leading the offense effectively. The defense also showed improvement, limiting UNC's offense to just 270 total yards. But that was against a bad North Carolina team and that might not be a great barometer for where Clemson is as a team.
- Boston College's Struggles: The Eagles have faced difficulties this season, with a 1-4 record and an 0-3 record in conference play. Their lone win came against an FCS opponent, and they have been outmatched in their other games. Quarterback Dylan Lonergan has shown flashes of potential, but the offense has struggled to find consistency. The defense has allowed 10 passing touchdowns in five games and they will need to tighten things up there to avoid getting carved up by Klubnik.
Quarterback Play
- Clemson: Cade Klubnik has been a steady presence at quarterback for the Tigers. With 1,250 passing yards and 10 touchdowns this season, he has a high upside. The problem for Klubnik is consistency, as he will have games that make you scratch your head after seeing him at his best against teams like UNC.
- Boston College: Dylan Lonergan has had an up-and-down season, with 1,277 passing yards and nine touchdowns. He has found wide receiver Lewis Bond for an average of over seven catches per game. But the Eagles' offensive line has struggled, leading to pressure on Lonergan and limiting his ability to execute plays efficiently.

Final Thoughts
Neither of these teams have been all that impressive this year. But I think that Boston College will cover the spread as a two-touchdown underdog at home. We will see some regression from the Clemson offense after they blew out a North Carolina program in disarray and this game will be a little closer than the point spread would imply.
