DURHAM, N.C. — For years, NC State football has staked its claim in its defense. “You can’t give up that many points.”Despite what the final box score showed, NC State wasn’t always playing from behind. NC State struggled on every side of the ball. No matter what facet of the game it was, NC State faltered. NC State will look to rebound next week, returning to Carter-Finley to host Virginia Tech on Saturday.
