NC State took an embarrassing loss to ACC rival, Duke, this afternoon. The final score for this blow out was 41-3.
The Wolfpack could not get anything going offensively against the Blue Devils – only scoring 3 points off a field goal in the first quarter. Offensively, junior quarterback CJ Bailey stuggled moving the ball down the field, completing 15 of 24 pass attempts for 123 yards.
Going scoreless in the second quarter, NC States’ defense started to give out. Right before halftime the Blue Devils’ safety Andrew Pellicciotta returned a missed 50 yard field goal 100 yards for the score – putting Duke up 24-3 at the break and the Blue Devils never looked back.
NC State suffered quite a few injuries in today’s game, including senior linebacker Popo Augrrie and junior safety Ronnie Royal who collided with each other in the third quarter. This resulted in an extended pause during the game. Both players managed to walk off the field.
