Beautiful football weather today here in Raleigh! I’ll be on the field taking photos for this game, but I’ll do my best to provide updates here as the cell phone service allows.

Backup CB Fred Davis will be the only player previously expected to play that will not be available today.

Ugh Tigers commit a pre-snap penalty already on the opening possession. Makes 3rd and 5 a 3rd and 10.

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:00:36


Ugh incomplete to Shipley on an outlet pass. Would have been 1st down, but DJ threw it way too hard for a short pass. Gotta put some touch on those! Tigers have to punt.

D forces a punt!

UGH Beaux Collins dropped a sure TD right in front of me! Hit him right in the hands! Gotta help DJ out today!

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:03:09


TD ROSS!!! Beautiful throw and catch in the back of the end zone! 2nd TD of season for Ross. Huge for the Tigers to get on top early.

TIGERS LEAD 7-0 IN 1ST.

Bryan Bresee gets hit with a roughing call on the sideline, but the D still forces a punt. Tigers take over at their 20.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:09:40


Ugh Bresee jumps offsides on 3rd and 11, and Leary completes a 7-yard pass on 3rd and 6.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:10:12


Another 1st down completion tl the Tigers’ 27.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:12:56


Good grief anothe offsides makes it 3rd and 3, and they take advantage again with a 6-yard completion to the 15. Tigers should have been off the field twice now!

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:13:39


Nice coverage by Booth. Huge 3rd and 4 from the 9!

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:15:37


Ugh TD completion to Emezie. Great catch on the sideline. First TD of season allowed by Tigers’ defense! They are reviewing the call.

DJ was lucky not yo throw an INT but the Tigers go 3 and out.

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:31:34


D forces a punt thanks to a sack by XT for an 8-yard loss on 3rd down! Tigers take over at their 20 with 11:23 left in the half.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:34:07


Will Taylor comes in and is tackled for a loss. 3rd and 13 now.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:34:55


Good grief DJ sacked at the 9. He has no pocket awareness! Tigers go 3 and out and Thayer Thomas is set up at midfield for the punt.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:36:50


Pack is hit with a personal foul on the return. They take over at the 45.

WHEW! Leary overthrew an open Devin Carter in the end zone after he beat Booth.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:42:58


Good grief State lines up on 4th and 3 and gets Foster to jump offsides! That’s how they scored their TD, with 2 big offsides calls.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 15:48:28


FUMBLE!!! Tigers recover!

Ugh ad pass by DJ as he’s hit. Tigers go 3 and out again.

D gets a 3 and out with about 5 mins left in half!

Ngata gets a PI call on a deep ball!

Good grief tipped ball on 2nd down gives State a pick. 3rd of season for DJ.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:07:24


I don’t know why Skalski is out of the game, but he’s on the sideline with his helmet off. Might be concussion protocol.

And now Spector, who had a hurt knee last week, just limped off the field! No Skalski, no Davis and no Mike Jones. That was the recipe for the loss at Notre Dame last year!


Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:08:22


Big 3rd and 16 coming up from the Clemson 36. Need to keep it a long field goal! Expect State to run.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:09:26


Leary throws it away put of bounds. 53-yard field goal attempt coming up with 9 seconds left in the half to give State the lead!

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:10:51


WIDE LEFT!!! We’ll go to halftime with a tie game. State will get the ball first.


TIED 7-7 AT HALF.

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:47:13


Looks like Skalski has a shoulder stinger. Hopes that all it is! No Skalski, no Tyler Davis and no Mike Jones. Same recipe as the loss at Notre Dame last year! Not that the Tigers aren't doing great on D, but if this game comes down to getting one stop by the D like the Tech game did, maybe missing Skalski and/or Davis will make the difference. It was Skalski that came up with 3 huge plays on the goal line stand against Tech last week.

Also, Baylon Spector had a hurt knee last week and limped off the field in the 2nd quarter, but he came right back.

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:47:58


State picks up a couple first downs and drives to midfield to start the half, but Nolan Turner comes up with a sack on 3rd down for a 9-yard loss to make it 4th and 16! Tigers force a punt.

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:48:30


Ugh incomplete to Ngata on 3rd and 6. Another 3 and out for the offense. Guess I was wrong about them bouncing back this week!

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:54:40


Good grief now Bresee is in the medical tent! This is getting ridiculous. The D can shut teams out if they have all their players but now they are minus their 3 best players!

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:56:19


Lol they just tried to eject Spector for completely whiffing and missing the player. Worst targeting call yet! Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed on review, and it was reduced to a 15-yard late hit penalty. Even though he didn't really hit the guy!

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 16:58:17


Good grief defensive holding call on 2nd and 9 gives State a 1st down at the Tigers' 23. And Bresee is sitting on the sideline with an ice pack on his knee.

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:05:19


This is a total flag fest! 19 penalties already! Refs are terrible.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:05:58


Holding call killed that drive before it began. Tigers go 3 and out after a 3rd and 21 scramble by DJ.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:12:38


21 penalties in the game, and it's still the 3rd quarter. Refs have taken over control of this game and taken all rhythm out of it.

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:14:01


Nice punt by Spiers for 50 yards and a holding call backs State up.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:14:47


State picks up a first down. It will be 2nd and 6 from their 31 to start the 4th.



TIGERS TRAIL 14-7 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:20:57


Ugh 3rd and long again after an incomplete pass to Allen and a one-yard handoff from Taylor to Shipley.

Huge 1st down completion to Ross on 3rd and 9!

Shipley runs for 12 yards on the next play!

Screen to Ross for 9 more!

DJ RUNS TO THE 5!!! First and goal Tigers! DJ's helmet came off, so Taylor will have to come in.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:24:59


TD SHIPLEY!!! His 5th in the last 3 games! Handoff was from Taisun with DJ on the sideline.



TIED 14-14 IN 4TH.

Tigers get a stop on 3rd and 17! State will attempt a 51-yard field goal.

WIDE LEFT AGAIN!!! Still tied at 14!

CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:43:31


Ugh Tigers go 3 and out. State takes over at their 23. Gonna be another one of those nail-biters and maybe overtime!

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:53:09


Good grief yet another offsides call gives State a 1st down at the 25 with 30 seconds left. Would be a 42-yard FG from here for Dunn, who has two close misses today but is the all-time record holder here for field goals.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 17:53:30


3rd and 4 now from the 20.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 18:06:44


WIDE LEFT!!! State’s all-time record-holding FG kicker is 0-3 today! Tigers and Pack headed for OT, tied 14-14!  

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 18:14:16


Tigers go on offense first and DJ finds Ross in end zone to take 21-14 lead in 1st OT! Could be pyrrhic score, however, as Shipley was carried off field.

Ugh State ties it on 3rd down and then takes 6-point lead in 2nd OT. They missed the 2-point conversion.

Ugh Ross almost came up with a diving TD catch right in front of ne.Here’s the play of the game. 4th and 5 from the 20. Timeout Tigers.

Reply
CUTrevor 2021-09-25 18:46:12


Well that's the ball game. DJ is incomplete on 4th down to end the game. Tigers may end up with the two "best losses" in the nation, but they are likely eliminated from the playoff race, as no 2-loss team has ever made it. On top of that, Shipley looks to be seriously injured!

I'll have Dabo and post-game interviews in a bit!


TIGERS LOSE IN 2 OT 27-21.
