NC State’s Dominance Over UNC on the Football Field has Become an Expectation

NC State won their 4th straight over rival UNC yesterday, defeating the Tar Heels 35-30 in Chapel Hill. The current streak is the 2nd longest in school history (NC State has beat UNC in 5 straight games twice in the series history).

This game isn’t just another football game.

It’s a rivalry game.

It’s absurd when coaches stand up and act like a game against their rival is just another game on the schedule. That type of talk diminishes one of the most enjoyable and sacred aspects of sports…playing and beating your rival.

Wolfpack Head Coach Dave Doeren said it well after the game.
