With the 38-14 loss to Wake Forest in North Carolina’s state capital Saturday NC State now has a record of 3-3 overall 1-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference is fourteenth in Atlantic Coast Conference standings.

Following NC State suffering 38-14 loss to Wake Forest Saturday in North Carolina’s state capital Saturday Head Coach Dave Doeren shared his thoughts by saying It’s more about execution and that’s the sad part. Teams aren’t doing that they didn’t do in the first half . A lot of time they’re running the same plays that we defended and then we’re not defending them with discipline. It’s basic things it’s fundamentals it’s not pressing and doing your job and it’s really frustrating.
