Clemson is set to face NC State today, but they'll be missing several key players due to injuries and other factors. Among those listed on Clemson’s depth chart earlier this week, several players have been ruled out and will not be available for today's matchup.
Injuries and Absences:
- CB Corian Gipson will be sidelined, leaving Clemson's secondary short-handed against NC State’s passing attack. Gipson’s absence is significant, as he has been a reliable presence in the defensive backfield this season.
- OL Dietrick Pennington and OL Collin Sadler will both miss today's game, which could impact the Tigers' offensive line depth and rotations. The offensive front has been key to Clemson’s ability to move the ball on the ground, and missing two critical linemen may force some shuffling along the line.
- DL Peter Woods, a standout on Clemson's defensive line, will also be unavailable. Woods has been a force in disrupting opposing offenses, and his absence could provide NC State's offense with an opportunity to establish a more consistent rhythm.
Additionally, special teams will see a minor change, as No. 45 LS Philip Florenzo is expected to wear No. 95 in today's contest.
