NCSU cops looking for names of those who harassed officials after Clemson loss; School will increase security

N.C. State University police posted a video on YouTube on Monday and reached out to the public for help in identifying people who threw things and spit on officials after the Wolfpack’s 38-31 loss to Clemson on Saturday.

The video showed some of the behavior police were talking about.

Fans upset over the officiating during the game threw objects at and spit on the officials as they left the field Saturday.

Also Monday, N.C. State announced it will increase its security of officials and visiting teams at Carter-Finley Stadium. N.C. State has one home game remaining this season -- Nov. 25 against North Carolina.

“We have both police and event staff escort game officials at their every move on game days, which has worked very well historically,” NC State athletics spokesman Fred Demarest said in an email.

”Moving forward, we will have an increased security presence in the stands near the tunnels used by officials and the visiting team to best protect both groups."
