Wolfpack to Host Tigers in Key ACC Showdown

In an unusually early meeting, the NC State Wolfpack will host the Clemson Tigers in a rare September division matchup Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 pm inside Carter-Finley Stadium and can be seen on ESPN.

The Wolfpack (2-1) were able to shake off an ugly loss to Mississippi State with a dominant 45-7 win over FCS Furman this past Saturday. NC State finished with a total of 505 yards of offense to Furman’s 196 – a number that included 218 NC State rushing yards on 31 attempts. NC State led 38-0 at the half before cruising to the bounce back win.

#9 Clemson (2-1) heads to Raleigh after dropping three spots in the polls – escaping with a 14-8 win over Georgia Tech last Saturday in a wild weather delayed contest. Minus the Tigers’ 49-3 win over FCS South Carolina State, Clemson has only been able to score a total of 17 points against Power 5 competition. Saturday’s contest will be the Tigers first true road game in which should be a loud and rowdy Carter-Finley Stadium.
