There’s a real simple thing you can do in order to make your day go better, in order to make the problems you run into for the majority of any given game feel minimized: score touchdowns when you get into the red zone.
NC State has been doing this to an impressive degree. On a dozen red-zone possessions, NC State has scored a touchdown 11 times. That’s good; that’s really good. The other time, NC State made a field goal—State hasn’t failed to score in the red zone this season.
In 2019, State managed 23 touchdowns and 17 field goals on 48 red zone trips.
