Offensively, things never really clicked for the Pack on Saturday. In fact, the Pack ended the day with only 45 yards rushing after entering the game averaging 259 yards a game. Think we didn’t miss Shadrach Thornton?
State looks like it was playing the whole game not to make a mistake, made a couple huge ones anyway and ballgame.

While not throwing a interception, Jacob Brissett struggled with accuracy all day long.
Despite all of this, the deciding factor for the day was turnovers. Not including a turnover on 4th down late in the 4th quarter the Pack had two crucial turnovers that led to 10 Louisville points. State had only one turnover in the previous four games this season.

Lots of ire on Twitter, with a lot of focus on Matt Canada’s play calling and the offense in general.
I'm not going to be nice about it. This NC State team should be ashamed of themselves. That was a piss poor effort.

@PackFootball Jay Sam had five touches… I repeat, FIVE TOUCHES. Are the coaches insane?
