The Eagles outgained the Wolfpack 578 total yards to 253 but three turnovers, six penalties and two kickoff coverage mishaps by BC allowed NC State to hang around and eventually tie the game at 31 with 3:33 remaining in the fourth quarter. That's when Crane drove the Eagles 70 yards on seven plays for the winning score. Rich Gunnell caught 11 passes for 123 yards and a TD. BJ Raji led the defensive charge with three sacks. After a week off, the Eagles host Virginia Tech on October 18th.
