Will the streak continue at Death Valley?
No. 5 Clemson meets No. 10 N.C. State on Saturday in a top-10 ACC showdown with College Football Playoff implications. It is a tall task for the Wolfpack knowing the Tigers are shooting for their 37th straight home victory at Memorial Stadium.
The Tigers can tie Florida State (1992-2001) and Yale (1900-03, 1904-08) and inch closer to becoming just the sixth team in the AP Poll era to win 40 consecutive home games.
It is a nice stretch under coach Dabo Swinney, whose run on to the field before the game has become part of the tradition. How impressive has the streak been?
