NC State upsets No. 9 Clemson 27-21 in 2OT

It’s safe to consider this a down year for Clemson.

Under Dabo Swinney, that’s a rare thing. What you can consider a down year for Clemson does not compare to a down year for almost every other team in the country, but two losses in the month of September absolutely qualifies.

The No. 9 Tigers lost 27-21 in double overtime on the road to NC State on Saturday, snapping an eight-game winning streak for Clemson in the series. With the loss, Clemson dropped to 2-2 on the year. It marks the first time Clemson has lost two regular season games since 2014.
