Of course, it was Clemson.
What other team could Kyle Bambard make his return as N.C. State’s kicker against?
Bambard stepped in for Carson Wise in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Tigers. The junior kicker made an extra point at 12:23 in the fourth quarter and then a 22-yard field goal with 1:51 left in the game.
It was his first made field goal since his life changed in a loss at Clemson last year.
“Obviously, I had been waiting for that moment for a long time,” Bambard said.
It was Bambard’s miss at the end of regulation, from 33 yards, which cost the Wolfpack a win at Clemson a year ago.
