The Wolfpack (2-1) will be facing the No. 21 Clemson Tigers (1-1) in their first Atlantic Coast Conference matchup this year. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, S.C. is set for noon.
N.C. State’s CJ Bailey, a 6-foot-6 freshman who started his first game for injured quarterback Grayson McCall, stood as tall as he could against Clemson’s intense pressure.
NC State entered the season with considerable hype, and two marquee September games full of opportunity. It’s difficult to imagine how they could have gone worse for the Wolfpack.
