NC State (1-0) opened their dual season with a 34-6 drubbing over West Virginia on Sunday. Despite West Virginia’s big conference affiliation and advantageous geographical location in terms of talent pool, this was always going to be a mismatch. Tim Flynn was a great hire and I believe the right guy for that program, but it’s just simply too early in his tenure for them to compete with what Pop has built in his time here. Especially considering the crop of guys we have returning from last year’s sixth-place team.
The final result was never in question, but there were some interesting matchups to give this dual a little spice.
