Conway, SC. - After a stunning 39-38 loss to West Virginia the week prior, Coastal Carolina returned to Brooks Stadium looking to shake off the stench of defeat. For a moment, though, it felt like the odor followed them home.
Nick Golladay opened the day with command, orchestrating an 11-play march capped by a six-yard touchdown strike to Kamryn Petty. But NC State answered in a flash. Freshman quarterback Kona Quick read the RPO perfectly and found Darryl Jolly streaking between zone defenders. One cut and 87 yards later, the Wolfpack had silenced the teal-clad crowd. A smattering of boos rang out, frustration boiling over from a fanbase tired of watching its secondary get torched.
“We heard it,” admitted senior linebacker Walt Reyna.
Coastal’s defense, though, stiffened after that opening haymaker. While the Wolfpack would ultimately post 19 points in a 51-19 defeat, they were forced to earn every inch. After that first lightning strike, NC State managed just 77 more yards in the half as the Chants sat back in deep zone, daring Quick to dink and dunk. When James Ruggins stripped him late in the second quarter, Evan Hemphill scooped it for six. Even with the bizarre twist of a blocked extra point returned the other way, Coastal stormed into halftime with a commanding 34-9 lead.
NC State struck once more after the break, punching in a quick touchdown and later adding a long field goal, but the Wolfpack never mounted a serious threat again. Vaughn wasn’t in the mood to celebrate.
“I’m not going to get too rah-rah up here,” the head coach said flatly. “Lately anytime I praise the defense, we shit the bed the next week. They’re going to have to do more than hold a 3-7 team to 326 yards to earn some praise at this point.”
If the defense was finding its footing, Golladay had the offense cruising. The senior quarterback accounted for five total touchdowns, showing no hesitation even with star tailback Sidney Barkow limited by the rib injury that already cost him six games.
Floyd Priest shouldered the load with 90 yards and a score, while Petty and Terrance Rugamba each exploded for 100-yard efforts with touchdowns of their own.
Coastal hopes the balance carries forward as the Chants hit the road to face the struggling Pittsburgh Panthers (1-9), looking to string together momentum in the season’s final stretch.
Kona Quick living up to his name with the quick throw on the RPO and letting Jolly do the rest for the 87 yard touchdown.
Once Evan Hemphill rumbled in with this fumble for a touchdown, it felt like the Chanticleers had a comfortable lead going into the break.
NC State lucked into a blocked XP right after the defensive touchdown, taking two defensive points of their own in a rarely seen play.
