Wow, what a fun game to watch! We outplayed them by much more than three points. Very glad to have my first wrong game prediction of the season.
Was in the stadium and am not sure exactly what people are referring to on clock management. If it's about throwing on first down, I would say that given our overall offensive success I was in favor of continuing with the balance that got us here. Tempo seemed to really be working so I am even OK with snapping he ball with 8-10 seconds left on the play clock. We complain about run-run-pass so we can't them complain about pass-run-pass.
End of the day, we sustained drives long enough for NC State to rely on an onside kick. And yeah, in terms of game management we far outcoached them.
That said, screen on 4th and 20 from the 35 was one of the weirdest calls I have ever seen.
