Wake Forest 14, Clemson 13 -- If Clemson’s offense was going to show improvement, it would have done it by now. Dabo Swinney has had this team since the middle of the season last year.

FRESH START: Juices flow as Deacs hit court
Oct. 15th changes the script. Gaudio expects to coach a conference contender, led by sophomore Al-Farouq Aminu and Smith. In his coach's eyes, Smith might emerge as the ACC's finest point guard. In Smith's eyes, the Deacons possess the fastest big men in the country and great shooters, fueled by the impulse to run like rabbits and finish the job.
