For the third year in a row, NC State got the best of its in-state rival.
The Wolf Pack beat No. 24 North Carolina 28-27 on Saturday after rallying from down 24-14 at halftime. Sophomore quarterback Russell Wilson was outstanding while racking up 258 passing yards and four touchdowns on 20 of 27 passing. NC State’s defense also forced two turnovers and held North Carolina to just three points in the second half.
In the first half, Tar Heels quarterback T.J. Yates was incredible. He completed just 6 of 8 passes, but it went for 201 yards and two touchdowns on 25.1 yards per pass. But in the second half, he finished just 7-for-11 for 74 yards and an interception.
After ratting off four straight wins including impressive outings against Virginia Tech and Miami, this was a disappointing end for North Carolina – especially considering how good the Teels looked in the first half.
