The Pack&#8217;s Mike Glennon was pressured most of the night as he was intercepted four times in the 35-21 defeat. The rushing game was weak and the defense had trouble getting Volunteers to the turf.<\/p>\n<p>NC State figured to be a contender this season in the ACC, and the Pack still may be, but that was an embarrassing loss to a team that finished last in the SEC a year ago &#8211; and another embarrassment for the ACC which has not beaten the SEC in a season-opening nationally televised game since 2005 when Georgia Tech beat Auburn.<\/p>\n<p>In fact in 10 national TV season openers since expansion, the ACC is 1-9. Overall, the ACC is only 24-37 against the SEC since expansion eight years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High hopes for the NC State Wolfpack dampened a bit with a disappointing showing against Tennessee in the Chick-fil-a Kickoff Game.
