This was a tremendous football game for a while, a game in which both teams scored twice in the first five minutes. That was weird, sure, but it was also the start that NC State needed to make the ball game a good one. Apparently there are a lot more minutes in a football game beyond the first five, so Clemson won, 53-41.
The Wolfpack drove down the field to take a 6-0 lead on its first possession of the game (Kyle Bambard missed an extra point), and then then Nyheim Hines answered a fast Clemson score with a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown.
