Clemson and Wake Forest are currently in a dramatic 38-38 tie in the four quarter of an entertaining matchup on Saturday afternoon.
The Clemson defense has had a hard time covering Wake Forest's wide receivers as they have had a field day catching several long bombs.

Hartman is equal opportunity - he's toasted Davis, Lukus, Pride, and Wiggins all.
Wake Forest tied with Clemson at 35 w/11 minutes remaining. This is most points Wake has scored vs. Clemson in 19 years since scoring 45 points in 2003
Put Tyler Davis & Bresee at corner at this point.
This game putting on a clinic for how not to defend the pass. Amazing display on both sides.
It looks like these DBs have been coached to NOT turn around. Never seen anything like it

Thing is, a DPI is a 15-yard penalty.
When I talked to Clawson earlier this week, he said that, in past losses to Clemson, Wake has had plenty of open WRs. What it hasn't had is time to get the ball to them. So yes, the Tigers DBs are getting destroyed. But how has this vaunted D front not disrupted Hartman at all?
In fairness to Clemson's DBs, they've EARNED these DPIs (and probably saved themselves about 100 YAC in the process.)
Clemson has gone after Sam Hartman today.
Clemson cannot. defend. Wake's. receivers.
Sam Hartman is just the second ACC QB since 2012 with at least five TD passes in a game vs. Clemson.

#WakeForest QB Sam Hartman has the attention of NFL scouts. Putting some impressive plays/throws on his resume tape today.
Clemson DBs: pic.twitter.com/SOEfz9UfvI Most points allowed by Clemson vs ACC since 2012:
No one was within 12 yard of he received. Wake TD in the middle of the endzone
Sam Hartman breaks his own Wake Forest single game passing TD record, now stands alone at 6, with a 45-38 lead over Clemson in OT.
A #Clemson secondary that was toast all game comes up with the game winning defensive play, Wiggins on the play but the throw was into double coverage.

The plays they're getting flagged for would go for twice that.
I submit to you this is good strategy by the Clemson DBs.
That's been a bad plan.
Hartman vs. the blitz: 6-of-8 for 130 yards and 3 TDs.
Hartman vs. normal rush: 5-of-9 for 39 yards.
