Duke Scott breaks away from multiple tackles, then puts on the JETS for a 65-yard touchdown on the first play of the second drive. NC State takes a 14-0 lead with 10:44 still left in the first quarter.

We have 13 minutes left in the first half and Beau Pribula has attempted one pass. NC State's defense has now allowed 103 yards rushing on 19 attempts, with UVA leading 10-0.

Could not ask for a worse start for NC State in this one. UVA takes a 10-0 lead on a Xavier Brown one-yard rush after CJ Bailey's interception on the Wolfpack's side of the field. Still a lot of time left, but the offense needs to wake up. Quick.

CJ Bailey is picked off by UVA at the NC State 33-yard line. He's now 3-6 for 12 yards with one interception through the first three drives. NC State has yet to gain a first down more than 10 minutes into the season opener.

Josh Warren with a massive open-field tackle for NC State to get Beau Pribula down on third down. UVA gets a 47-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead, but the Pack defense stops a solid drive for the Hoos.

The NC State offense looks out of sorts early on. CJ Bailey has taken multiple big hits on scrambles, underthrew his receiver on that last play and still hasn't picked up a first down through two drives. Meanwhile, Beau Pribula just picked up his second first down on an obvious QB keeper.

NC State football just unveiled its “Wolfpack Warriors” uniforms in partnership with the US Army. The uniforms will be worn during the home opener against Richmond on Sept. 11. What do you think? 🤔
