Saturday NC State and UNC clashed on the gridiron for another heated (although gametime tempature was 29 degrees) rivalry game. This year was supposed to be a molly-whoppin by UNC. They came into the game with a record of 7-3, been in and out of the top 25 over the last 4 weeks and fighting for a chance to play for the ACC Championship in Tampa. State on the other hand had early season struggles, dealing with numerous injuries, and had clawed their way to a 4-6 record. The Vegas line (if you are into that) was UNC giving 12!!The first half was pretty one-sided as NC State forced 2 turnovers but was only able to score 10 points. They went into halftime with as 10-3 lead. The second half was totally dominated by NC State, scored 31 points, creating 4 more turnovers and holding UNC to one touchdown... The photo above says everything else about the game. That photo was taken after NC State had intercepted a pass and ran it down to the 2 yard line of UNC for their SIXTH turnover of the game. State scored two plays later... leaving no doubt who molly-whopped who! State beat UNC, Wake Forest, East Carolina and Duke to go 4-0 in the state of North Carolina an claim the "2008 State Title"
