If there’s any team equipped to move on from a difficult loss, it’s N.C. State.
The Wolfpack seems to excel in finding excruciating ways to lose a football game. Fifth-year coach Dave Doeren took the 30-24 decision to the Demon Deacons in stride on Monday.
“It’s unfortunate that we had to live it but that’s football,” Doeren said.
That’s because there was something all too familiar about the loss for the Wolfpack. Even though the “how” was new – freshman receiver Emeka Emezie lost a fumble inches from the end zone on what could have been the game-winning touchdown – the end result was not.
