Coming off a 34-point loss at No. 15 Miami, which featured moving the ball past midfield just once the entire game (the final drive), NC State is focused on looking forward. There’s nothing the Wolfpack can do to change that result, and as it looks to obtain bowl eligibility with two games to play, the team doesn’t want that loss to linger. After all, NC State is set to clash with Florida State on Friday night (8 p.m., ESPN), providing an opportunity to move on in a hurry with a shortened week of game preparation. Instead of dwelling on every little thing that went wrong in South Florida, Pack coach Dave Doeren said the team focused on the major deficiencies before flushing that loss to get ready for the Seminoles.
