NC State blasts Wake Forest but loses LB Jerod Fernandez

NC State put together its most impressive performance of the season Saturday, beating Wake Forest35-17 in a game that was not even that close.

There could be some bad news, however, as the Wolfpack had to watch linebacker Jerod Fernandez get carted off with an apparent right leg injury late in the third quarter.

Here’s how things went down at BB&T Field:

What the win means for NC State: The Wolfpack notched their first ACC win of the year, and this one wasn’t even close. They jumped out to an early 28-0 lead and never really looked back, holding Wake Forest’s offense in check as Jacoby Brissett, Matt Dayes and Co.
