On to Charlotte: Tigers clinch ACC Atlantic in rout of NC State

RALEIGH, NC – On to Charlotte.

No. 5 Clemson raced to a 28-0 first-quarter lead and never looked back in defeating NC State 55-10 Saturday night at Carter-Finley Stadium. Clemson improves to 10-0 overall and 7-0 in the ACC with the win and clinches the ACC Atlantic Division title and a berth in next month’s ACC Championship Game.

Wake Forest lost at Virginia Tech earlier in the day and the Tigers came out of the locker for pregame warmups in their regular white jerseys and white pants. Once the final score of the Wake Forest game was known, the Tigers retreated to the locker room and came out in their orange britches, which are reserved for championship games.
