Should NC State have taken a knee late against Vanderbilt?

One commenter argued that NC State could have avoided defeat by taking a knee immediately after the snap, comparing the decision to the Miracle in the Meadowlands. Another said it was fourth down and an immediate kneel would have given Vanderbilt the ball at the 3-yard line with a couple of seconds left. That commenter described the play as an attempt to burn the remaining time before taking a safety, but argued that poor blocking let pressure arrive too quickly.
