NC State turning the red zone into the dread zone

Get it, dread zone. Ugh, I’m sorry.

Anyway, if you hadn’t noticed, NC State’s had some trouble converting red zone possessions into points lately. During its four-game losing streak, the Wolfpack has reached the red zone a total of 10 times, scoring on only half of those trips. It scored a touchdown on only two of those 10 trips. That is very bad.

For the season, NC State is scoring points on 75% of its red zone trips, which ranks 114th out of 128 FBS teams. State’s touchdown percentage is 58.3%, ranking 88th. And again, the numbers over the last four games: 50.
