The Textile Bowl is back with a bang!
The Clemson Tigers will be taking on the North Carolina State Wolfpack in a crucial ACC contest, as the Tigers try to get over the .500 mark.
The Tigers' 2024 campaign has been a rollercoaster so far. After a humiliating defeat to Georgia in the opener, Clemson roared back with a dominant performance against Appalachian State.
Now, the team faces a crucial test against North Carolina State, a team that gave them significant trouble last year. The Wolfpack's victory over Clemson in 2023 was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Tigers will be eager to redeem themselves.
With a bye week under their belts, Clemson should be well-prepared for this matchup. NC State, coming off a win against Louisiana Tech, will be a formidable opponent. The Tigers will need to play at their best to avenge last year's loss.

Clemson Tigers vs NC State Wolfpack team news & key players
Clemson Tigers team news
A big reason for Clemson's bounce back performance in Week 2 against Appalachian State was the performance of quarterback Cade Klubnik.
After throwing for just 142 yards in the Week 1 loss, Klubnik totaled 378 yards and five touchdown passes in Week 2. It was arguably the best game in the career of the junior quarterback. He connected on 24 of 26 pass attempts for 378 yards and five touchdowns. If the young quarterback is able to perform like he did against the Mountaineers more often, it is going to result in a lot of wins.
By season's end, senior tight end Jake Briningstool could prove to be the most reliable weapon in Clemson's passing attack. Through just two games, he’s already hauled in 10 catches for 126 yards and two touchdowns, showing his knack for making plays.
NC State Wolfpack team news
North Carolina State is shaking things up at quarterback as true freshman CJ Bailey is set to make his first career start this weekend on the road against Clemson. Bailey steps in for Grayson McCall, who exited last week's 30-20 victory over Louisiana Tech after suffering an injury in the second quarter.
Bailey led a remarkable second-half comeback, rallying the Wolfpack from a 17-6 halftime deficit. The young quarterback completed 13 of 20 passes for 156 yards and added 27 rushing yards, including a touchdown on the ground.
McCall, who transferred from Coastal Carolina in the offseason, is currently listed as "day-to-day" with an undisclosed injury.
Veteran running back Jordan Waters could be the key ally for NC State's freshman quarterback. After racking up 12 touchdowns last season, Waters is the go-to option in crucial moments when the Wolfpack need a big play. Meanwhile, center Zeke Correll will likely shoulder a bigger role in guiding Bailey with pass protections and pre-snap reads. Correll, a preseason contender for both the Rimington Award (best center in the nation) and the Outland Trophy (top interior lineman), brings invaluable experience to the line.
