It’s like they found their groove and decided to throw a little dance party on the field. If you’re an NC State fan, now would be the time to rejoice and maybe break out the celebratory howling.

So, what got into NC State? It’s probably a mix of strategy adjustments and players stepping up under pressure. Sweeping Clemson didn’t just give them a confidence boost; it sent a message. It says, “Hey, we’re serious contenders now.” The kind of message that has future opponents circling the NC State game on their calendars in bright red ink.
If you’re into tracking the chess match that is college sports, keep your eyes on how long this ACC magic can last. Trading spots in the top 10 is like playing a little game of king of the hill. And right now? The ACC’s hill is looking quite crowded and competitive.
