North Carolina opened its game Saturday night with a three-and-out. On its first defensive possession, the Tar Heels stopped NC State for a one-yard loss.
But the Heels committed a 15-yard penalty.
On the next play, the Wolfpack completed a 23 yard pass and marched into Carolina territory to kick a field goal and gain an early lead.
The Heels were whistled for nine penalties for 99 yards on Saturday night. North Carolina finishes the regular season ranked 119th nationally in penalty yardage per game at 63.91.
The lack of preparation from Carolina is routine2.
By the end of the first half, NC State had scored 26 points and North Carolina had run only 20 offensive plays. The Wolfpack scored on its first eight drives.
NC State capped off its five game win streak to close the season with a 39-20 drubbing of the Tar Heels.
