NC State beating Top 25 team? Bradley Chubb spitting? Social media reacts to Wolfpack 27, Florida State 21
N.C. State upset Florida State 27-21 Saturday in Tallahassee, ending a 10-game losing streak to top 25 teams. The Wolfpack hadn’t beaten a top 25 team since it upset No. 3 Florida State in 2012.
Social media reacted quickly, particularly after Wolfpack star Bradley Chubb backed up his two-sack, forced fumble performance by at least appearing to spit on the Florida State logo at midfield after the game.

AWFUL sportsmanship. Chubb had just played a hell of a game and NC State won a big upset. Why would he do this? IMMATURE MORON. Grow up!!!!

Frustrated that @ASTROCHUBB decided to be immature and spit on the FSU logo after the game - @StateCoachD needs to sit him Q1 next week.

Afterwards, Chubb said his actions were misinterpreted.

Since he’s off social media this season, Bradley Chubb asked us to post this: ‘I want to apologize for my actions after the game today...’

‘... I let my emotions get the best of me. I have the utmost respect for Coach Fisher and Florida State.’

Former Mallard Creek star Jaylen Samuels had two touchdown catches for the Wolfpack in the win, helping the Wolfpack jump out to a 17-7 lead late in the first half.
My team has Jaylen Samuels..the other team doesn't

There will soon be an NFL team that wins the draft by picking Jaylen Samuels. That guy is the real deal

Another star was State QB Ryan Finley, a junior who threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns. He completed 22-of-32 praise and earned plenty of social media praise, just like Samuel.
QB Ryan Finley having an amazing start to the year for NC State.
