NC State defeated East Carolina 58-3 today to pick up their 9th win of the season.
That’s a big deal.
You might be tempted to think I’m settling for mediocrity to think that 9 wins is something to celebrate.
That’s false.
NC State has played 126 years of football, and only 12 of those teams have won 9+ games.
