Scott says NC State's 3-3-5 defense provides unique challenge for Tigers

CLEMSON – Clemson’s annual Textile Bowl series against North Carolina State has been lopsided in recent seasons, but co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott expects the Wolfpack’s best shot next Saturday.

Clemson and NC State square off at 7:30 pm Saturday in Carter-Finley Stadium in a series that has seen Clemson win seven straight and 14 out of the last 15. Last year’s contest was lopsided (a 41-7 Clemson victory), but the Tigers won by just a touchdown in Raleigh two years ago (38-31) and survived an overtime scare against the Pack in Clemson in 2016. Clemson won a 56-41 shootout in Raleigh four years ago.
