Watson has been outstanding this season in completing an incendiary 67.5 percent of his passes for 3,626 yards with 34 touchdown passes, though he has tossed a high, 14 interceptions.  Watson has also rushed for 44 yards and four touchdowns to compliment Gallman’s 943 rushing yards and team-high 14 rushing TDs. Defensively, the Clemson Tigers rank a stellar eighth nationally in total defense (307.9 ypg), 26th against the run, 12th against the pass (180.1 ypg) and eighth in points allowed (17.0 ppg).

Why Bet The Virginia Tech Hokies

Virginia Tech has also won back-to-back games and comes into this conference title tilt off an emphatic 52-10 spanking over Virginia while easily covering the college football betting line as a 19-point home favorite.

For the season, Evans has passed for 3,045 yards with 26 touchdowns and just five interceptions while leading the Hokies in rushing with 713 yards and eight touchdowns.
