RALEIGH, N.C. — A week after bending in a narrow win over Georgia Tech, Clemson broke against North Carolina State in a 27-21 loss in double overtime Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. Here’s the good, the bad and the ugly from the Tigers’ loss.
The good
As poor as Clemson’s performance was on offense for most of the night, the Tigers showed flashes of what they’re capable of when they can rip off some chunk plays and get in somewhat of a rhythm. Clemson needed just five plays to cover 80 yards on its first touchdown drive early in the first quarter and later covered 80 yards on just seven snaps to tie the game early in the fourth.
