The Storylines

Saturday's contest will feature two head coaches each attempting to rewrite his respective school's record book. While Swinney will attempt to earn his 166th career victory as head coach of the Tigers to pass Howard for sole possession of the most career head coaching wins at Clemson, conversely, NC State Head Coach Dave Doeren (76) enters the game one victory shy of tying Earle Edwards (77) as the winningest coach in Wolfpack history.

Swinney is 8-1 all-time against Doeren with all meetings coming during Doeren's tenure at NC State. Presently, Doeren is one of only two head coaches to be defeated by Swinney eight times, joining Wake Forest's Dave Clawson, whom Swinney defeated for the 10th time earlier this month.

Swinney's Tigers will attempt to rebound this week following a double-overtime road loss to Miami (Fla.). Clemson has not lost consecutive games in a single season since November 2011. Clemson's 161 consecutive games played without consecutive losses in the same season is the program's longest streak in school history as well as the nation's longest active streak. Clemson is 33-8 in games following a loss under Dabo Swinney, including season openers following a loss in the previous season finale.

NC State cranks up the heat on 3rd down and Klubnik can't find anyone, ball falls incomplete. Clemson will punt. Not exactly a great start for the Tigers offensively right now.

5:11 1Q, NC State up 7-0

Troy Stellato gets the shallow but it goes nowhere, in fact, it loses a yard and Clemson will punt. It's the third three-and-out this quarter. Tigers with 56 yards of offense right now.

A 41-yard FG is good and NC State leads Clemson 10-0. Tigers got a stop on 3rd and short and the Pack opted for the three points. A drive for Clemson is desperately needed.

Offense needs a spark. Cade seems rattled and has been off target.

Phil Mafah punches it in from 1 yard out and Clemson is on the board. And they get it in the red zone. A solid drive for Clemson.

8:24 to play before the half, NC State leads Clemson 10-7.

The 43-yard attempt is no good from Jonathan Weitz to end the half. It went wide right.

HALF | NC State 10, Clemson 7 -- Wolfpack will get the ball to start the 2nd half. A sloppy first half ended decently. Let's see if Clemson can come out and play cleaner in the 2nd half.

Pick six for Cade Klubnik -- Payton Wilson takes it to the house. What an abysmal performance for Clemson offensively.

NC State leads 17-7 with 10:07 left in the 3rd.
