The Textile Bowl on a chilly Homecoming Night in Raleigh. Welcome to Clemson vs. NC State.
No. 5 Clemson travels to Raleigh to take on an NC State team fighting for bowl eligibility. The Wolfpack have been racked by injuries this season and are 32-point underdogs in their own stadium on Homecoming.
GULP.
Depending on the results of an earlier contest (Wake Forest at Virginia Tech), the game could present an opportunity for Clemson to clinch a berth in the ACC Championship Game. A Clemson victory preceded by a Wake Forest loss to Virginia Tech would clinch the ACC Atlantic crown for Clemson for the fifth consecutive season.
