Things looked positive for NC State early on, as they jumped out to a 10-0 lead at the beginning in the second quarter. The defense looked as if they were going to get off the field again after a third down pass fell incomplete, but a holding penalty extended the Hokie drive. They scored on the next play and it might as well have been curtains. Backup quarterback Brenden Motley, who threw three interceptions and completed less than half of his passes last week, carved up the Wolfpack defense on his way to three touchdown passes during the second quarter.
