Sure, the coaching was poor, and at times, the execution was worse, but details, details! NC State had far from its best effort in Chapel Hill on Saturday, but it gutted out a fourth-quarter rally and a clutch effort in overtime to beat the Tar Heels, 34-28. Hallelujah. Pass the Tylenol.
The Wolfpack methodically moved the ball on its only overtime possession, resulting in a one-yard plunge by Reggie Gallaspy. UNC missed a field goal wide left on its overtime possession, so any score for the Pack would do. Thank the football gods, State did not have to risk a field goal attempt.
