For the first time since 2012, NC State blew a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead in last Thursday’s 27-23 home loss to Wake Forest. The 2012 loss, a 43-35 embarrassment against UNC that saw State outscored 18-0 in the final frame, was the death knell for Tom O’Brien. The primetime collapse against the Deacons most certainly won’t spell the end for Dave Doeren, whose program is on a decidedly different trajectory than O’Brien’s was at the time, but it was certainly hard to stomach. It’s taken me nearly a week to approach the keyboard to sum up my thoughts. But I promised a “mixed six” for every game, so, unlike the Pack last Thursday, I’m going to deliver.
