NC State jumps to big lead on rival North Carolina and cruises to 39-20 win

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! RALEIGH, N.C. — Brennan Armstrong threw three touchdown passes while North Carolina State’s defense dominated North Carolina’s Drake Maye-led offense on the way to a 39-20 rivalry win on Saturday night. Kevin “KC” Concepcion had two scoring catches in the latest strong performance for the Wolfpack’s freshman receiver, part of an efficient offense that kept control of the ball while leaving Maye and the Tar Heels’ high-powered attack on the sideline much of the night. “It’s been one heck of a five-week window,” Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said, adding: “Everything I asked these kids to do, they did.” Maye is a high NFL draft prospect who has been among the nation’s passing and total-offense leaders, while UNC’s Omarion Hampton entered the game tied for the national rushing lead. Yet the Tar Heels started with little push to match N.C. State’s aggressive “Senior Night” edge, with Maye not completing a pass until early in the second quarter and Hampton finding little space to run.
