导出博客文章RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State executed its plan against Wake Forest: get
a fast start, play from in front, force the Demon Deacons out of what they do
best.The only hiccup? Penalties -- a lot of them.Still, N.C. State won an
Atlantic Coast Conference opener under fourth-year coach Dave Doeren for the
first time, beating Wake Forest 33-16 on Saturday.Ryan Finley threw for 300
yards and three touchdowns for the Wolfpack (3-1), while Matt Dayes ran for 125
yards and a score. Dayes 6-yard TD started a run of four straight scoring drives
by the Wolfpack, who led 17-0 after the first quarter and 23-3 early in the
second.It was good just for us to hop on them early, said Jaylen Samuels, who
had a TD catch for the Wolfpack. The offense, we did our job, we started
fast.The Wolfpack finished with 527 yards against a defense ranked 12th
nationally against the run and 20th in scoring defense (16.5).We talked about it
all week: Wakes a team that wants to play a four-quarter game, Doeren said. We
didnt feel like they were built offensively to catch up. We felt like they were
built to control the ball, keep their defense off the field and grind you
out.The biggest flaw? Thirteen penalties for 144 yards, both season highs.John
Wolford threw for 263 yards and a touchdown for the Demon Deacons (4-1, 1-1),
who got as close as 26-16 entering the final quarter but never seriously
threatened to wrestle control away from the Wolfpack.Wake Forest was going for
its first 5-0 start since 2006, which was also the last time it won in Raleigh
as part of a surprise run to the ACC title.But the Demon Deacons did themselves
no favors in the red zone. Twice they settled for field goals, while another
drive that reached the Wolfpack 23 also stalled and ended with a field
goal.Wolfords 9-yard throw to Tabari Hines late in the third was the only time
the Demon Deacons reached the end zone.Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson called it
a just awful red-zone performance.For us to beat N.C. State, Clawson said, we
have to score more touchdowns. ... They stopped us when they had to. They are a
good football team.THE TAKEAWAYWAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons defense can keep
them in games, but there are days when the offense has to work awfully hard for
its production and struggles to dig out of holes. This game only reinforced
little margin for error Wake Forest has when it falls behind early and Wolford
-- or injured fellow starter Kendall Hinton -- face steady pressure.N.C. STATE:
Does N.C. State have a penalty problem or was this one bad outing? The flags
mounted for things unnecessary roughness and chop blocks -- the kind of things
that cant happen as the Wolfpack go deeper into ACC play in pursuit of a bowl
bid.HITTING WOLFORDThe Wolfpack finished with four sacks and has nine in the
past two games dating to a win against Old Dominion before last weeks
bye.ONE-SIDED OF LATEThis marked the third straight season that the Wolfpack
beat the Demon Deacons by double-digit margins. Two years ago, N.C. State won
42-13 here. Last year, the Wolfpack scored four 50-yard touchdowns in a
put-the-game-away opening quarter of a 35-17 road win.HINES BIG DAYHines, a
sophomore from Florence, South Carolina, entered with eight catches for 101
yards this year. He finished career highs of nine catches for 125 yards in this
one.PROTESTTwo members of N.C. States band took a knee on the field and didnt
play during the national anthem.UP NEXTWAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons stay in
Atlantic Division play by hosting Syracuse, who has won four straight meetings
dating to the 2011 season.N.C. STATE: N.C. State hosts Notre Dame in the second
meeting between the schools, the other one coming in the Gator Bowl to end the
2002 season when Philip Rivers was the Wolfpack quarterback.---Follow Aaron
