Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program have a rivalry matchup Saturday against the NC State Wolfpack, with the Tigers looking to prove that they have taken the next step and are a team to be feared in college football.

Clemson has been heavily recruiting this year, already hosting multiple players in their home opener against App State. The Tigers will play NC State on Saturday, which will also be their ACC opener.

As NC State travels down to the southern part of the Carolinas, they prepare to take on a Clemson team that lives somewhere between two extreme performances. In the opener with Georgia, the Tigers displayed a talented but thin defense and an absent offense.
