So much for looking ahead to Florida State. North Carolina State was focused on the task at hand, taking care of business at home versus Furman, resulting in a dominating 49-16 Wolfpack victory.
N.C. State (2-1) can now shift its attention to the Seminoles and ACC play. The teams will meet next Saturday in Tallahassee. But first the Wolfpack had to make sure there wasn’t a replay of last week, when they trailed Marshall early at home.
Furman (0-3, 0-1) did take an early 3-0 lead after a 46-yard by Grayson Atkins, but N.C. State scored 14 unanswered, the first score a 1-yard run by Jaylen Samuels, followed by a 30-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Finley to JuMichael Ramos.
