Clemson players to watch
1. Wide receiver Joseph Ngata was the talk of fall camp but has yet to have a coming out party. That could come this week as the backup should get plenty of opportunities against an overmatched Wofford team and Clemson would love to make him a bigger part of the offense to add another weapon down the stretch.
2. Running back Lyn-J Dixon had his best game of the season last week against Boston College, according to Clemson coach Dabo Swinney. With Travis Etienne unlikely to shoulder a large load against the Terriers, look for Dixon to get plenty of chances.
3. Linebacker Mike Jones is being molded to follow in the footsteps of All-American Isaiah Simmons at SAM/Nickel linebacker with Simmons set to leave for the NFL after this year. Jones has been getting better and better as the season has gone along and should have a nice game against the Terriers.
Wofford players to watch
1. Running back D’mauriae VanCleave does a little bit of everything for the Terriers. VanCleave has 15 receptions for 199 yards, 25 carries for 188 yards and eight punt returns for 194 yards. VanCleave is averaging more than 24 yards per return.
2. Senior quarterback Joe Newman leads the Terriers with 760 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns through seven games. Newman has also passed for 674 yards and five scores.
3. Senior linebacker Jireh Wilson is tied for second on the team in tackles with 27. Wilson also has 6.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and an interception this year.
