N.C. State made more mistakes in its 35-17 win at Pittsburgh than in any other win this season but these five plays helped the Wolfpack extend its winning streak to six games:
1. Nyheim Hines’ 92-yard punt return
Score: N.C. State 7, Pitt 7
Time: :55, first quarter
Breaking my own rule here and going with a scoring play but this was too important to not recognize.
N.C. State’s offense was struggling in the first quarter. Quarterback Ryan Finley was not sharp and the receivers had reverted to the days of frequent dropped passes.
