I rewatched condensed game highlights and really recognized how well Betty played at the end of regulation and the OTs. Without his play, not sure that the Heels don’t score a TD in one of the OTs.
I thought early in the game, Moore’s absence was noticeable when he was out on the drive that led to the Heel’s FG. Betty was out of position a couple of times.
Then, late in the game, it was clear that Moore was not 100 percent with his pursuit. I had just started to notice that before he got banged up again on a tackle.
When Betty came back in with about 2 minutes left, he didn’t miss a beat. He was in on three or four key plays. Despite losing one of the best LB corps NC State has ever had, we may be in pretty good shape at that position next year.
