NC State’s 24-17 win over Northern Illinois yesterday was one of the most improbable victories in college football in recent memory.
The Wolfpack scored 24 points while only accumulating 171 yards of total offense.
NC State’s 171 yards of total offense was the 6th fewest gained by a winning team that scored 24+ points since 2004.
Kudos to @AndrewWeatherman for digging up this nerdy gem.
This is why winning the turnover battler matters. NC State turned Northern Illinois over 4 times, and the Huskies failed to turn the Wolfpack over a single time.
