This was like watching a mirror universe version of the ECU game. Foster changed assignments and shut down NC State’s speed option, and the team smartly fit gaps when the Wolfpack rolled out a jumbo-flexbone tribute to Paul Johnson. Tech’s offensive line gradually wore down the NC State front, leading to long late-game runs for McMillan and Rogers. Motley gutted out good plays and grinders alike to keep the defense honest, and a sharp secondary performance limited Wolfpack QB Jacoby Brissett to barely a hundred yards passing while an aggressive Hokie front gave him some hard licks and a dirty jersey. And the penalty breaks even went Tech’s way.

But my game ball goes to Isaiah Ford and his three touchdowncatches, which crazily came on just four receptions. Let’s look closer at how he pulled off a Cris Carter-eqsue performance.
