NC State pulled off a astronomical victory over #12 Florida St. down in Tallahassee yesterday 27-21, and there quite a few important ingredients that went into the Wolfpack’s recipe for victory.
Time of Possession and Turnover Margin
Florida St. might have had more total yards than NC State (385-362), but the amount of time the Wolfpack possessed the ball was more important than their total offensive production. NC State possessed the ball for 33:22, compared to Florida St.’s 26:38.
The Wolfpack also won the turnover margin game. In the second quarter Bradley Chubb forced the Seminoles to fumble the ball deep in NC State territory.
