 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Clemson was tired of leaving Wake Forest with embarrassing losses, so the 15th-ranked Tigers spent the past week promising they would prove something to the Demon Deacons. And after three sloppy quarters, they finally did.
C.J. Spiller ran 72 yards for the go-ahead touchdown, defensive lineman Gaines Adams returned a fumble for a score and Clemson rallied from 14 points down in the fourth quarter of a 27-17 win over Wake Forest on Saturday to avoid a third straight loss at Groves Stadium.
"Two years in a row here, playing in this stadium, it brings us trouble," Adams said. "Everything was going their way the first half, and partially the second half, but we kept fighting."
