NC State losing to Wake Forest on Saturday was a likely outcome, but a little bit of encouragement along the way would have been nice. Instead, the Wolfpack was down 14-0 in a blink, never appeared much interested in competing, and got blown out by the Deacs as a result.
Devin Leary’s first start could have come under better circumstances, but he was absolutely brutal, throwing a pair of interceptions while averaging less than four yards per attempt. If you want to try and explain away a performance like that against one of the ACC’s worst pass defenses, be my guest.
