NC State’s Week 0 Defeat: Offense Stalls in 34-8 Loss at Virginia
TL;DR Summary
NC State opened the season with a 34-8 loss at Virginia, as QB CJ Bailey delivered the worst performance of his career (84 passing yards on 12-of-23 with 0 TDs and 2 turnovers, 74.2 passer rating) and the Wolfpack managed only 168 total yards. Virginia piled up 258 rushing yards behind Beau Pribula (9/11 passing for 155 yards and 110 rushing yards). NC State’s defense and play-calling couldn’t slow the Cavaliers, prompting concerns about both personnel and coaching ahead of a two-week gap before the home opener against Richmond.
