With a 7-0 record for the first time since the 1948 season, Clemson moved up to No. 3 in the Associated Press Poll following its hard fought, 17-7, victory over NC State the week before at Death Valley.
After giving up its first rushing touchdown of the season in the first quarter, the Tigers’ defense smothered the Wolfpack the rest of the day, holding them to a mere 201 total yards.
The Clemson offense did not have a great day, but it did rush for 304 yards, controlling the line of scrimmage and the football for much of the afternoon.
