What they’re saying about NC State’s 20-18 escape at Maryland

“In yet another totally bizarre ACC game, NC State beat Maryland 20-18, thanks in large part to Maryland’s missed 33-yard field-goal attempt, which clanked off the upright as time expired.”

– Heather Dinich, ESPN.com

“Wolfpack quarterback Mike Glennon carried the Wolfpack through the two-minute drill at the end of the game, culminating with the game-winning kick from (Niklas) Sade after covering 54 yards in less than two minutes. Even though the N.C. State defense couldn’t hold at the end, it got bailed out by (Brad) Craddock’s missed kick.”

– Satchel Price, SBNation.com

“In a game in which two Maryland quarterbacks excelled after starter Perry Hills left the game with a second-quarter knee injury, Craddock missed a chance to become the biggest hero of all.”

– Jeff Barker, The Baltimore Sun

“I actually thought I hit it pretty well. It’s never good missing one, you know? It hit like the top of the upright.”

– Brad Craddock, Maryland kicker

“Probably the worst thing to happen to us is we knocked the quarterback out of the game.”

– Tom O’Brien, NC State coach

“That was a very disappointing and heartbreaking loss we had out there, but the guys competed and played very hard. They gave everything they had. We put ourselves in a position to win the game there at the end, but we just came up short.”

– Randy Edsall, Maryland coach
