TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Ticker) - North Carolina State football coach Chuck Amato made a sexist remark to a female reporter during a halftime interview Saturday.

Amato was leaving the field at Doak Campbell Stadium with his team tied with Florida State, 10-10, when he was stopped by ABC sideline reporter Suzie Shuster, who asked a pair of questions.

Shuster's second question was, "What are you seeing in their offense that you can attack?" "You," Amato replied.

Amato began running toward the locker room and was followed by Shuster, who asked two more questions about NC State players that Amato answered cordially.

A former long-time assistant at Florida State, Amato became coach at NC State before the 2000 season. He is 59 years old and a grandfather.

The Wolfpack came into Saturday's game just 3-4 overall and 1-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, fueling speculation that Amato's job is in jeopardy.

Shuster has been part of ABC's regional coverage of college football this season.
