Playing without three seniors starters didn’t stop N.C. State from emphatically capping off one of its most successful football seasons in two decades on Friday.
Behind a dominant offense, paced by junior running back Nyheim Hines and junior wide receiver Stephen Louis, N.C. State whipped Arizona State 52-31 to win the Sun Bowl.
N.C. State (9-4) posted its most wins in a season since going 9-4 in 2010. It’s just the third season with nine wins or more for N.C. State since 1994.
Hines ran for three touchdowns and gained 73 rushing yards for the Wolfpack while Louis amassed 115 receiving yards.
