Harris’ big run gives ECU 26-21 win over NC State. Then brawl breaks out near end of Military Bowl
Associated Press— Rahjai Harris broke free for an 86-yard touchdown run with 1:33 remaining, giving East Carolina a pulsating 26-21 victory over NC State in the Military Bowl in a game that descended into a wild brawl in the final minute. Harris had 220 of ECU’s 326 yards rushing, and his sensational sprint near the end of the game gave the Pirates the lead back after they’d blown a 13-point advantage in the fourth. After an interception by Dontavius Nash ended NC State’s final drive, East Carolina’s attempt to run out the clock was interrupted by a large-scale fight between the two in-state rivals — who play each other again to start next season. Bailey threw a 15-yard scoring strike to Justin Joly on fourth down, then NC State forced ECU’s first punt of the game and took the lead on a trick play.
