TOP 10 PLAYS: No. 8 Boone's Sack vs. South Carolina

July is here, which means football is right around the corner! 

We started a month-long feature at Inside Pack Sports where we look back at NC State's top offensive and defensive plays from the 2017 season.

The plays are selected on a variety of factors, ranging from level of difficulty, overall impact, importance to the game/season, etc...

James, Steve, and Bryant reviewed the best plays and submitted their top ten plays on each side of the ball.  We put together a composite list, and we will be releasing each play daily, so enjoy!

Shawn Boone made plenty of big plays during his NC State career, and his sack in the season opener against South Carolina is No. 8 in our Top 10 defensive plays from the 2017 season.

Timing and execution... this play has it all. 

Boone and senior linebacker Jerod Fernandez perfectly execute an inside blitz, as Fernandez's rush takes up the running back, which allows Boone to fly in for the sack of South Carolina quarterback Jacob Bentley.

As expected, Boone finishes the sack, which State had problems doing in the game.

If you missed it, here's your chance to watch Boone's sack again as it is No. 8 in our Top 10 defensive plays from the 2017 season.
