Tennessee dominated No. 24 NC State on Saturday night, but it didn’t exactly come as many thought. The entire country learned a little something this weekend — Tennessee has an elite front seven.
All the talk coming in was about Nico Iamaleava, and for good reason. But it was the defense that stole the show. Really from the second drive on, Tennessee just completely dominated up front. NC State had no answers on the offense line as overwhelming pressure engulfed the Wolfpack and never even gave them a chance.
NC State was limited to just 143 yards off offense.
