WATCH: NC State strikes early with blocked punt TD

NC State mascot

In a game that many figured would be tight down to the wire, NC State jumped out to an early 7-0 lead over Notre Dame with a blocked punt touchdown.

Notre Dame stalled on its second drive of the game, backed up in its own territory. That’s when James Smith-Williams blocked Tyler Newsom’s punt. Germaine Pratt fell on the ball for the easy score.

Both teams have one loss and cannot afford another if they have any hope of staying in the playoff race. Needless to say, this was a huge play to start the game for the Wolfpack.

The Fighting Irish did respond almost immediately, scoring a touchdown on their next drive when Brandon Wimbush found Durham Smythe for a 25-yard touchdown.

This game figures to be quite exciting, and it’s only just begun.
