No. 7 Clemson (2-1, 1-0 ACC) heads to Carter Finley Stadium on Saturday to face off against North Carolina State (2-1, 0-1). Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPN.
Clemson’s offense vs. N.C. State’s defense: Clemson got off to a rough start by mustering just 180 yards and no touchdowns in the opener against Georgia. And after a confidence booster against FCS foe South Carolina State, the Tigers aren’t inspiring much of it offensively after another struggle against Georgia Tech. There’s plenty of talent on the offensive side of the ball with the way Clemson has recruited under Dabo Swinney, but much of it is young and still trying to gain comfort and experience while working through some growing pains.
