Don’t look now, but 32.5-point underdog Western Carolina of the FCS is on the board first against NC State, thanks to a big interception by Ken Moore Jr. WCU takes a quick 7-0.
What a sequence for Western Carolina at No. 24 NC State!
Ken Moore Jr. picked off former Coastal Carolina star Grayson McCall in his first game with NC State, and the Catamounts scored a TD one play later.
