NC State’s Grayson McCall ‘didn’t play well,’ believes expectations haven’t changed

CHARLOTTE — Grayson McCall walked out of the NC State locker room in the bowels of Bank of America Stadium with a dejected face, which was still fresh with remnants of his eye black mixed into his beard, after the Wolfpack’s 51-10 loss to Tennessee in the Duke’s Mayo Classic.  The quarterback entered the campaign with high expectations for himself — and those were reciprocated outside the program. But in his first game in the national spotlight, McCall’s performance didn’t reach the standard he and fans in Raleigh have set for the signal-caller. “I know I didn’t play well tonight,” McCall said, appearing to search for answers of what went wrong in a back hallway postgame.
