NC State found itself back in the win column with a 24-17 victory over Clemson at Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday afternoon. While the Pack earned its second win over the Tigers in its last three meetings, there were several standouts from the performance. Not only were there star players on both sides of the ball, there was also a surprising statistic in the win, and an unsung hero that helped seal the game for NC State in a position that he had not played all week in practice. Here are the Sunday Superlative awards after the Wolfpack’s win.
