NC State football heads to No. 5 Clemson (4-0, 2-0) to try and snap the Tigers' 36-game home streak while seizing control of the ACC Atlantic Division.

The No. 10 Wolfpack (4-0, 0-0) have not beaten Clemson at Memorial Stadium since Oct. 24, 2002, but snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Tigers last year with a 27-21 double-overtime win.

NC State coach Dave Doeren said earlier this week that this was "probably" the biggest game of his 10-year tenure in Raleigh.
