The good far outweighs the bad in week four.
It appeared NC State was finally in for a challenge Saturday when South Alabama easily drove 75 yards for a 7-0 lead in the game's opening drive. It would indeed be a different result for the Pack; they answered with a 28-point run to cruise to their most lopsided win of the season. State ran up a season-high 586 yards on 8.6 yards per play en route to a 63-13 win on the road in Mobile.
As our esteemed colleague Mr. Muma noted earlier in the week, more efficient offenses win 83% of the time, but, while efficient, the Pack lacked explosion in their first three tilts.
