Pittsburgh is (5-4) with wins over Villanova, Penn State, Marshall, Georgia Tech, and Virginia. They were defeated by Oklahoma State, UNC, Virginia tech, and Miami.
Summary:
Clemson enters the game as one of the few remaining undefeated teams in the country. Heisman Trophy contender quarterback DeShaun Watson has the Tigers clicking on all cylinders. Clemson has scored 37 or more points in four of their last five games. Pittsburgh is looking to rebound after two straight losses but will face a tall task against Clemson. Both teams rank in the top 30 in terms of scoring offense. The big difference comes on defense where Clemson ranks as a top ten team while Pittsburgh doesn’t even rank in the top 100. Ultimately Clemson is too strong on both sides of the ball and should win this one with ease at home.
