The “GameDay” team of Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, David Pollack and Lee Corso will set up shop at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, SC, for the final ACC Atlantic meeting between the Tigers and Wolfpack before the conference does not move to division-less football in 2023.
Clemson (4-0) is coming off a 51-45 double-overtime victory over the then No. 1. 21 Wake Forest in Winston-Salem. The victory required a clutch play from quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, who completed 26 of 41 passes for 371 yards and five touchdowns in the victory.
NC State wasn’t challenged as much for four weeks, though the Wolfpack had a Week 1 scare against East Carolina, outlasting the Pirates 21-20 on the road. Their week 2-4 opponents included Charleston Southern, Texas Tech and UConn, teams they beat by a combined score of 123-27.
