What’s next for North Carolina State?

Head coach Dave Doeren and offensive coordinator Tim Beck need to look at what they are doing offensively. The Wolfpack could not block Clemson all night. They could not run, and Devin Leary could not get into a rhythm passing the football. The defense did not play poorly but got outplayed in critical moments.

The Wolfpack will get a challenging game next week as they host Florida State. NC State had better not let Clemson beat them twice. The Seminoles are coming off a loss against Wake Forest.

What’s next for Clemson?

The Tigers continue to march toward the ACC title game with their win. Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei continues to improve, and he played well tonight against one of the best defenses in the country. Clemson’s defense looked as dominant as any in the country, and they were at about 70 percent capacity. This defense will be trouble when they get all of their players back.
