NC State had a momentum problem on Saturday. Clemson, which hadn’t scored on its opening drive all season, got excellent field position after Derion Kendrick’s 40-yard kickoff return to open the game and marched 57 yards on nine plays to take a 7-0 lead, making for a raucous atmosphere in Memorial Stadium. State went three and out in its first possession, and the crowd noise grew. Still trailing 7-0, the Pack ran right into the teeth of the Tiger run blitz on third and one on their next possession, resulting in a loss of yardage and another punt.
