NC State wasn’t expected to beat #19 Texas A&M in the Gator Bowl. They were 7.5 point underdogs.
A one-score loss was the projection…a five-score loss was the outcome.
The Aggies beat the Wolfpack 52-13 in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on New Years Eve.
The 1st half was a good matchup. The Wolfpack actually led for half of the 2nd quarter, and entered halftime down 21-13…one score…which was the spread.
On the opening drive of the 2nd half, NC State drove down to the Aggie 25-yard line, with an opportunity to either tie the game, or at minimum, make it a 5-point game.
