NC State improved to 4-0 with its win over UConn, setting up for another primetime matchup with Clemson in Death Valley. Both teams will go into the matchup undefeated and ranked in the AP Poll top-10. Those factors led to ESPN’s College GameDay pregame show choosing to broadcast from Clemson this Saturday.
Here’s more from The Wolfpacker’s story ‘NC State at Clemson is choice for ESPN College GameDay.’
NC State football: welcome to the national spotlight. When the polls are updated Sunday afternoon, odds are good that the Wolfpack will be ranked in the top 10. And next Saturday, when ESPN College GameDay hits the road for the premier national pregame show, the destination will involve the Wolfpack.
Sunday morning, the show announced that they will originate from Clemson, where the No. 5-ranked Tigers will host NC State in a significant ACC showdown.
The last time that NC State football was involved for a College GameDay on ESPN was Oct. 23, 2004 when No. 3 Miami came to Raleigh. The Hurricanes won a 45-31 shootout that evening in Raleigh.
During that broadcast, Lee Corso chose to put the entire Mr. Wuf mascot outfit when picking the Wolfpack to defeat the Hurricanes.
NC State is 4-0 after sweeping the non-conference portion of the schedule, including a 41-10 win over Connecticut Saturday evening. The highlight of the September victories was a 27-14 home triumph over Texas Tech. The Red Raiders made the Pack look better by knocking off ranked Texas in overtime Saturday.
Clemson is also 4-0, including a pair of ACC wins. The Tigers made College GameDay a reality by knocking off ranked Wake Forest on the road, 51-45, in double overtime Saturday.
