Rich Waltz will be the play-by-play guy on Saturday night when NC State takes on Marshall. Waltz has called a lot of games over the years, but the one that immediately comes to mind any time I see his name is the 1997 NC State-Syracuse game.
The game itself, unfortunately, seems lost to history, but the ending, and Waltz’s call, which is seared into my brain, is here in this video:
“Got it! Wolfpack win the ballgame in overtime! Torry Holt!”
It’s difficult to explain now what that game meant then. NC State was coming off back-to-back three-win seasons.
