The Blue Devils won their first 16 such contests. 21 -The number of years since Clemson has won an ACC title. The Tigers, who have won or tied for more ACC football titles than any other school (13), have not won one since 1991. 30 - The number of rushing yards which Virginia Tech’s defense limited Virginia in last week’s 38-0 win. Virginia Tech is ranked ninth nationally in defense against the run, allowing an average of just 98.67 yards per game. 63 -The number of yards needed by Clemson running back
