RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Russell Wilson threw a fourth-down touchdown pass to George Bryan with 2:40 left to help North Carolina State rally from a big halftime deficit and beat No. 16 Florida State 28-24 on Thursday night.
Wilson also ran for three scores for the Wolfpack (6-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who trailed 21-7 at the break before ending a three-game losing streak to the Seminoles (6-2, 4-1). With the win, N.C. State surpassed its victory total for last season while earning a key victory in a matchup of Atlantic Division contenders.
Trailing 24-21, the Wolfpack drove to the FSU 1-yard line but failed on three attempts to get into the end zone before Wilson found Bryan after a play-action fake for an easy score.
Florida State drove to the N.C. State 4 in the final minute, but Ponder fumbled on what appeared to be a play-action fake and Nate Irving pounced on the ball with 48 seconds left to seal the win.
