Clemson running back Andre Ellington will miss at least the next two games with a toe injury suffered in a loss 16-10 Saturday at Boston College, coach Dabo Swinney announced Sunday.
The injury means that N.C. State (6-2, 3-1 ACC) will not have to face the most productive player on the Tigers' offense when it visits Clemson on Saturday. The ACC announced Sunday that the game will kick off at noon at Clemson's Memorial Stadium.
Ellington leads Clemson with 686 rushing yards and leads the ACC in all-purpose yards with 128.9 per game.
N.C. State, meanwhile, crept back into the rankings in both The Associated Press' and USA Today polls on Sunday after edging Florida State 28-24 on Thursday night. The Wolfpack is No. 23 in the AP poll and No. 25 in the USA Today poll.
The AP also ranked N.C. State No. 23 after the Wolfpack improved to 4-0 with a Thursday night win over Cincinnati on Sept. 25. N.C. State dropped out of the rankings after losing 41-30 to Virginia Tech on Oct.. 2.

Any idea then why clemson is a 12 pt favorite on Vegas Insider?
Sounds like someone could make some money...
Tigers will likely bring their 'A' game to this one - even without Ellington. Still wouldn't bet a lot of money on a win though.
I thought it was very low class of Dabo to be singling out his kicker after the BC loss. Their only TD came on an INT return, and it's the kickers fault?
