The game saw the Clemson Tigers put up a valiant effort on both sides of the ball.

Special teams had mixed results; while Clemson managed only one field goal from two attempts, their punting unit performed consistently with seven punts averaging around 39 yards each and placing three within the opponent's twenty-yard line.


The Wolfpack capitalized on key moments during the third quarter where they scored fourteen points while holding Clemson scoreless during that period. This surge provided them with enough cushion to maintain their lead despite being outscored by ten points in the fourth quarter.
