NC State let the chance of a truly special season slip through their hands in Winston-Salem tonight, falling to their in-state rivals Wake Forest 24-30.
With 1:51 left on the clock, true freshman receiver Emeka Emezie caught a 10-yard pass, and looked to be heading into the endzone, before Wake Forest’s Demetrius Kemp knocked the ball out of his hands literally inches in front of the goal line, and the ball was recovered by the Demon Deacons in the endzone. He tried to extend the ball across the line, which ended up being a freshman mistake. Had he just tucked the ball, he probably would have ended up in the endzone.
