1. Ryan Finley vs. Clemson’s secondary

NC State has one of the best passing attacks in the nation.

Ryan Finley has been a solid quarterback and he has a very good offensive line and wide receiver corps to play with.

My question is: How will Clemson’s secondary hold up against that passing attack?

Could the Tigers shut down the NC State passing game? Or will they be picked apart through the air?

Next. Clelin Ferrell upset NC State game isn't at night. dark

Either one is possible and I believe this match up will go a long way in deciding the outcome of this game Saturday afternoon.
