Tonights matchup between #24 NC State and #14 Tennessee will mark the 5th time the two teams have played one another in football.
Currently the series is split down the middle, with each team winning two apiece.
The first game between the two teams dates all the way back to 1893, with NC State (back then they were NC A&M) defeating Tennessee 12-6 at Raleigh Athletic Field across from Oakwood Cemetery. This was the first football game that NC State ever played.
