The Wolfpack is Looking for it’s 1st Win Against the Tigers in Death Valley Since 2002

Tomorrow, the NC State football team has the opportunity to do something they haven’t done in over 20+ years: defeat Clemson in Death Valley.

The last time the Wolfpack defeated the Tigers at their place was on October 24th, 2002, when Philip Rivers’ led #12 NC State to a 38-6 win over their cross-state rival. NC State improved to 9-0, and Clemson fell to 4-4.

Dave Doeren arrived as NC State’s head football coach in 2013, and he has yet to walk out of Death Valley victoriously, losing all 4 contests.

2022 – 20-30

2018 – 7-41

2014 – 0-41

Wolfpack fans won’t soon forget the ending of the game down in Death Valley in 2016, when NC State place kicker Kyle Bambard missed a 33-yard field goal with time expiring in regulation to win the game.

Doeren is 2-4 against Clemson in Raleigh, giving him an overall record of 2-8 against the Tigers. NC State is on a 2-game winning streak against Clemson in Carter-Finley Stadium.
