Clemson vs Virginia Tech: Live Stream, Preview and Prediction

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

Well the ACC Championship game is upon us. Find out how to stream the game from Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

The third ranked Clemson Tigers face a tough test in the ACC Championship game while going for their second straight title. The Virginia Tech Hokies find themselves in the ACC Championship for the first time since 2011. It has been a remarkable comeback season for the Hokies in head coach Justin Fuente’s first season. He’s finished the season with ACC Coach of the Year accolades.

The Tigers have lost just once this season but they had their scares this season. They won on scores in the final minutes against Florida State and Louisville. They also needed overtime to get a victory over NC State. The key to the game this week is getting the ball to running back Wayne Gallman.

Gallman has 943 rushing yards this season with 14 rushing touchdowns. He has rushed for 100 yards of more in the Tigers last two games. He’s scored three rushing touchdowns as well in the same span.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson will keep the passing game going but if the Tigers want to run away with this one, getting Gallman involved is key. Watson leads the ACC in passing yards and passing touchdowns with 3,626 passing yards and 34 passing touchdowns.

The Virginia Tech Hokies are in the ACC Championship despite many media members expecting them to have a down year. Instead, the Hokies revamped their offense and as a result, quarterback Jerod Evans is poised to lead them to victory.

The 19th ranked Hokies are underdogs coming into the game which isn’t a bad thing for them at all. Evans has thrown for 3,045 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns and just five interceptions this year. He is fourth in passing touchdowns and pass completion percentage.

Virginia Tech’s x-factor in the game is Isaiah Ford. Ford has had a down year in the receiving yards category but he still has seven receiving touchdowns this season. The Hokies will need to look to get him involved in the passing game early. He hasn’t had at least 100 receiving yards since the team’s 49-46 victory over Pittsburgh. Ford has just two games over 100 receiving yards on the season. Last season, he had 503 receiving yards and three touchdowns to close out the schedule.

Here is all the game information.
