NC State Beats FSU by Highest Margin Ever, 47-28

NC State made history yesterday, beating Florida State by the largest margin in the history of the series, 47-28. The 19-point victory is the new standard, replacing the 17-point victory over the Seminoles back in 1998 (24-7).

The Wolfpack picked up their 6th win of the season, and is officially bowl eligible.

While the Seminoles technically had more total hards (445/417), they were chasing points from the very beginning of the game. NC State got off to a 17-0 start, and proceeded to never lead by less than 13 points the rest of the contest.

Some keys to the Wolfpack’s dominance:

  • NC State owned the time of possession battle, holding the ball 15 minutes longer than Florida State (37:30-22:30).
