CJ Bailey ran for a touchdown and threw for another, and Duke Scott rushed for 127 yards for N.C. State (4-6, 2-5). The Wolfpack had three quick strike drives in the third quarter in their home finale just a day after N.C. State announced that former quarterback Philip Rivers will be next season’s coach. The Wolfpack fell to 1-2 under interim coach Todd Goebbel.

N.C. State: The Wolfpack have scored at least 31 points in each of their victories this season but that wasn’t enough in this one. N.C. was held to three points in the fourth quarter.
