RALEIGH, NC – NC State fans rushed the field and they danced. They sang. They jumped. They celebrated, all in the aftermath of the Wolfpack slaying a longtime dragon with a 27-21 victory over No. 9 Clemson in two overtimes at Carter-Finley Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers had the ball first in overtime, and two DJ Uiagalelei runs gained 13 yards and a first down at the Wolfpack 12. Three plays later, Uiagalelei hit Ross streaking across the middle of the endzone for a touchdown and a 21-14 lead.
It took the Wolfpack eight plays, but they pushed across a touchdown on a two-yard pass from Devin Leary to Thayer Thomas, tying the game at 21-21 and forcing a second overtime.
