There wasn’t much to like about NC State’s performance this afternoon in a 44-27 blowout on the road at West Virginia.
The Wolfpack entered the game as 7-point favorites, and ended up losing by 17.
Excuses could be made.
Graduate Redshirt Senior Defensive End James Smith-Williams and Senior Cornerback Nick McCloud were unable to play. Both are captains, and both are starters. Redshirt Freshman Joseph Boletepeli was also out of commission.
With that being said, excuses don’t need to be made here. They won’t cover up what was a completely lack luster performance on both sides of the ball for the Wolfpack.
