Twitter reacts to Clemson’s statement win over NC State
Dabo Swinney and the Tigers showed up in a big way Saturday night as No.5 Clemson took down No.10 NC State 30-20 at Death Valley as they hosted ESPN’s College GameDay.
In a top-10 battle between the two top teams in the ACC, Clemson proved to be the better team on both sides of the ball Saturday night. While DJ Uiagalelei had the Tigers’ offense moving downfield consistently, the Tigers’ defense, led by the defensive line, caused Devin Leary and the NC State offense to have a rough night.
Swinney and his team showed up in the spotlight and took home a massive win for their season.
Here is a look at how Twitter reacted to the Tigers College GameDay win over the Wolfpack:
“Clemson still thinks they have the best defense in the country.”
We didn’t forget, @PackFootball.

Zero.
That’s the amount of sacks that “elite” NC State defense had against Clemson tonight.

No sacks. Run game did enough to keep State's safeties invested in the box. Clemson OL deserves a lot of credit tonight. That's a challenging group to face in what State does schematically.

Out of curiosity… what makes people think they can walk into Death Valley and win? What goes through your mind @BarstoolPack ?

Wes Goodwin received a lot of criticism after the Wake game, and I think even he would admit that a good bit of it was deserved.
But he was excellent vs NC State. Did a great job of mixing up coverages and looks and deciding when to bring pressure.— Matt Connolly (@MattOnClemson) October 2, 2022
