Clemson’s receivers are a matchup nightmare for State’s battered secondary

There are a lot of days and nights when Clemson is going to match up well with an opponent because of its talented and depth.

However, No. 5 Clemson’s talent advantage and depth will go to another level on Saturday when it travels to Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina to take on NC State. The Wolfpack are a battered and bruised football team, a team that has been decimated by injuries this season.

In all, 12 players are out for the season. Nowhere has that impact been felt more than at cornerback, where they have already lost three players for the year and another, senior Nick McCloud, has missed the majority of the season with an injury.
