Four Downs: NC State

With two minutes remaining in the third quarter of Saturday's football game, No. 23 NC State led Boston College by a 28-3 margin. The Wolfpack was all but assured of winning the game, and the Eagles would travel home with a bag of questions. That deficit, with that amount of time left, would take a perfect quarter and something of a miraculous comeback.

Stop me if you heard this one before.

It had to be something of a Massachusetts thing, but Boston College, with barely 17 minutes of clock time remaining, nearly executed its biggest comeback in program history, rallying to within five points of NC State.
