In Dave Doeren’s first year, the Pack only won three games, but they did manage to play the Tigers close at home. This was the game when they ruled that Bryan Underwood went out of bounds, when the video replay showed otherwise. What should have been an 83-yard touchdown to put NC State ahead midway through the 3rd quarter, was limited to a 36-yard gain.
