This should be a wipeout. We have an 8-3 NC State team, ranked #23, playing a 4-6 Kentucky team. Only in 2020 I guess.

NC State .............. 37

Kentucky .............. 13

I would be greatly surprised if that's how this game turns out. Forget the W-L records. There's not much of a talent difference between these two schools.

NCSU should win, but it won't be a wipeout. Only Ole Miss and Alabama scored more than 35 against UK and they held half their opponents to 20 points or less.

Kentucky ...... 10

Pretty embarrassing, so far

Isn't Kentucky a slight favorite going into this game?

NCSt was not as good as their record

Congratulations Kentucky, Gator Bowl champions!

If you are NC State, I do not know how you explain going 8-3 and losing to a 4-6 team. Sheesh.

It easy, four defensive starters out. Minds not in the game resulting in 4 offsides and a number of stupid unsportsman like penalties. Playing a backup QB instead of our starter who had his leg broken by Duke. Tossing three interceptions on weakly thrown balls. And a usually very reliable pk who was either sick or injured today. On top of that punish your best running back to start the first quarter and that adds up to a loss. Simply put, NC State did not come there to win the game and was not mentally in the game until it was too late.
