He's a beast, he's one of the elite RB's in the nation if not the elite RB and the only reason he doesn't lead the nation in rushing yards is because he doesn't get many touches late in the game when the second unit offense is in.
Etienne should get 8 or so safe targets too out of the backfield.
Regarding Uiagalelei, yes he was a HS freak, top ranked HS QB, played a lot in a mop up role against Citadel, went 8 for 11, he can play at this level.
Plus he's been getting starters reps in practice all week too.
Coach will have a good safe game plan for him and the offense.
Expect Clemson to play ball control, all Etienne all the time.
If that's the case that'll eat up a lot of clock so maybe BC can keep it within 24 but I wouldn't bet on it.
Clemson has more than enough defense to limit BC's offense.
Clemson wins, probably by 27 or so.
