ACC Time Capsule: NC State Wins 1964 ACC Championship
The 1964 football season was a strange one for the ACC, failing to produce a single team with a winning record. There has never been another season in the history of the conference in which this occurred. Five teams finished with an overall record of 5-5 (NC State, Virginia, Maryland, UNC and Wake Forest), and not a single team represented the ACC in a bowl game. NC State took advantage of the ACC down year and handled their business in conference play, posting a conference best 5-2 record, giving them their second straight ACC championship, and their third overall. NC...
ACC Time Capsule: NC State’s 1963 ACC Championship
A lot of things can change in one year’s time. In 1962, Earle Edwards NC State Wolfpack struggled mightily, finishing the season with a 3-6-1 overall record. Edwards went back to the drawing board after the ’62 campaign. After winning a measly 3 games in ’62, NC State did more than double that number in ’63, finishing the season with an 8-3 record. The Wolfpack’s 6-1 conference record was enough for a share of the ACC title with UNC. NC State clinched a share of the title when they defeated Wake Forest 42-0 in Riddick Stadium on Friday, November 22...
ACC Time Capsule: NC State’s 1957 ACC Championship
NC State’s 7 ACC Championships rank 4th in ACC history. The Wolfpack’s first title came back in 1957 with Running Back Dick Christy leading the charge. NC State finished the season with a 7-1-2 (5-0-1) record and they ended the season ranked 15th in the AP poll. The Pack’s only loss of the season came at the hands of William and Mary and they tied both Miami (0-0) and Duke (14-14). Unfortunately NC State was not allowed to play in a bowl game, due to a recruiting infraction in basketball with Louisiana high school star Jackie Moreland. 1957 was the...

ACC Time Capsule: ACC Football Championships
If you polled NC State fans and asked them how many ACC Championships the Pack has tallied in Football throughout the schools history, I would put a pretty nice wager down that most fans wouldn’t place us within the Top-5 in ACC History. Well, the history books don’t lie, and the Pack’s 7 ACC Titles rank them 4th in ACC History behind Clemson, FSU and Maryland. I am clearly aware that we live in a culture that screams “What Have You Done For Me Lately?”. Sure our last ACC Championship was back in 1979, which makes for a 30 year...

NC State 87 – Wake Forest 76 Boxscore  GAME RECAP NC State used a red hot Scott Wood (23 points) and solid performances from the rest of their starting five to out-gun the Demon Deacons 87.76. It was a true game of runs with Wake striking first thanks to Chase Fischer and Travis McKie doing damage early , but NC State stormed back using Woods hot hand. That had the Pack in it midway through the second half, but it wasn’t until late in the first that State really made their move and it wasn’t until midway through the second that they really got out to a sizable lead. State managed just 2 points off their bench and finished with a close rebounding margain but got very solid play from all 5 of their starters, limited the turnovers and got out on the break where they can be devastating. KEY STATS Wake played well tonight. They shot 50% from the field, 58% from 3 was only out-rebounded by three, but it wasn’t enough as State racked up 19 assists to only 9 turnovers as a team and turned that into 19 fast break points (to Wake’s 4). Player wise you have to look…
