It was a game FSU football was expected to win as they were double-digit favorites by oddsmakers. However, for the second time in a year the ‘Noles have lost to a North Carolina based team at home when that was the case.
NC State’s defense played well, harassing FSU true freshman quarterback James Blackman multiple times during the day.
NC State’s Bradley Chubb was responsible for a lot of the havoc as he touched Blackman several times. A few of the hits were late hits that went uncalled as typical in the game with that ACC crew.
