Direction matters.
This is a lesson in the kicking game N.C. State is learning the hard way. The Wolfpack (1-1) is still working out the kinks in its kicking game with a home date with Furman next up before ACC play ramps up at Florida State on Sept. 23.
Twice, in as many games, N.C. State has given up a kickoff return for a touchdown. Only one counted but the gaps in coverage have turned into a concern for coach Dave Doeren. Extra points and field goals continue to be an adventure, too.
