It wasn't the Wolfpack's night -- and that's putting it nicely. On a national stage in a neutral site against an SEC opponent, No. 24 NC State suffered one of the most lopsided losses of the Dave Doeren era in a 51-10 loss to No. 14 Tennessee.

The Volunteers capitalized on the Wolfpack's mistakes early to take a three-score lead into the locker room then pummeled the Pack in the second half. Cory Smith and Michael Clark will discuss the loss, break down what went so wrong for the Pack and where the program goes from here.
