The News & Observer’s Andrew Carter and Chip Alexander discuss No. 10-ranked N.C. State’s game at No. 5 Clemson this Saturday and try to decide if it’s the Wolfpack’s biggest game in program history. While they don’t agree on the answer to that question, they do agree that a win would be the Pack’s biggest win ever. They also talk about how N.C. State’s game at East Carolina was helpful for the Wolfpack ahead of its primetime game at Death Valley.
