Punt return leaves Wolfpack speechless

Posted Oct 27, 2012
N.C. State senior Earl Wolff tried to find the words after the Wolfpack’s first loss to North Carolina in six years, but he could only shake his head. “It’s a tough loss,” Wolff said. “I don’t know.” N.C. State saw a game it controlled in the second half turn into a 43-35 loss to the Tar Heels on Saturday at Kenan Stadium. One big play after another did in the Wolfpack, Wolff said.
