NC State tops Clemson 27-21 in double-overtime thriller

Devin Carter missed on a catch that had the potential to turn the game substantially in NC State’s favor during the first half. It was the first of a couple misses on big plays for the Wolfpack. And those missed opportunities, along with some missed field goals, nearly made for a nightmare.

But Carter made up for his earlier mistake with a game-saving touchdown catch in the second overtime, one that was underrated for its difficulty as he adjusted in the back corner to snag the ball at his knees. That catch gave NC State a 27-21 edge, and that was the big play needed to finally—fucking FINALLY—deliver a win against Clemson.
