Halftime Analysis: Tigers lead after electric, chippy first half

CLEMSON – It's electric. It's chippy. It has big plays and too many commercials. It has bad calls and breathtaking plays. The first half had it all.

Fifth-ranked Clemson and No. 10 NC State lived up to all of the hype in the first half, but Clemson had a 13-10 edge at intermission.

Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei completed 12-of-17 passes for 120 yards and carried the ball seven times for 24 yards and the Tigers' only touchdown.

NC State's offense ran 27 plays for 123 total yards.

PLAYERS OF THE HALF: BT Potter scored seven of Clemson’s 13 points on first-half points on field goals of 20 and 26 yards and an extra point with 31 seconds remaining in the game.
