NC State struggles out the gates
To open the season, NC State hosted Western Carolina. The Wolfpack didn't have the start they likely imagined, though, as WCU gave them a run for their money.
Heading into the fourth quarter, the Catamounts built a 21-17 lead over the No. 24 team in the opening AP Poll. WCU wasn't able to hold on, though, as it allowed 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to fall 38-21.
NC State was led by Kevin Concepcion who caught nine passes for 121 yards and three touchdowns. Tight end Justin Joly also brought in five balls for 75 yards.
Quarterback Grayson McCall threw for 318 yards on 26-for-40 passing with three touchdowns and an interception.
Tennessee has no issue in its opener
On the other hand, the Vols steamrolled past in-state Chattanooga to get the season started. The Vols won 69-3 after taking a 45-0 lead into halftime.
Nico Iamaleava threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns in the first half. This was the most yards thrown by a Tennessee quarterback in a single half in school history.
Dylan Sampson torched the Mocs' defense with 124 yards on 12 carries which resulted in three touchdowns. Dont'e Thornton was the leading receiver as he caught three balls for 105 yards and two scores.
