NC State’s Defense has to Go Back to the Drawing Board After Being Dismantled by Clemson

NC State’s defensive performance against #21 Clemson this afternoon was alarming to put it mildly. The Tigers outscored the Wolfpack 59-35 in the contest, but that score doesn’t begin to tell the story of how bad NC State’s defense was.

Clemson’s starting Quarterback Cade Klubnik was pulled from the game midway through the 3rd Quarter.

The Tigers were up 28-0 at the end of the 1st Quarter.

Yes, NC State lost the turnover battle 3-0, and that didn’t help, but the Wolfpack had 0 answers for Clemson’s offense.

The Tigers scored 59 points against the Wolfpack in 3 Quarters.
