NC State Prepares For A Battle Against Syracuse
The Wolfpack struggled to get anything going against a red-hot Blue Devils team that outgained State 461 to 217 yards.
State Struggled to Stop the Run
NC State’s defense had its second-worst outing in stopping the run since the early loss to Virginia in Week 0.
State gave up 238 yards to Duke, including 217 yards to Heisman hopeful Nate Sheppard, who averaged 12.1 yards per carry on 18 attempts and scored 3 touchdowns.
Sheppard’s performance on Saturday was the most yards NC State has given up to an opposing running back all season.
