FSU football has a bitter taste in their mouth after losing at home to NC State last season. It was the first career start for true freshmen James Blackman who was harassed all day by Bradley Chubb who then proceeded to spit on the FSU logo after the game.
NC State hadn’t defeated the Noles since their improbable second half comeback in 2012 that derailed FSU’s undefeated season.
There has always been some underlying disdain of sorts between the two programs. Dave Doeren accused FSU players of faking injuries after blowing a huge first half lead in 2014.
