CHARLOTTE, N.C. — With the clock winding down in a game void of many points — or excitement — Maryland football had a chance to stop NC State’s offense and secure a win over its former ACC rival in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
The Terps sported a four-point lead as NC State had the ball with just over two minutes to go, looking to generate offense in a game that featured one touchdown and seven field goals. As NC State quarterback Ben Finley dropped back to pass, Maryland cornerback Jakorian Bennett jumped the lane and came down with an interception, securing the Terps a 16-12 win at Bank of America Stadium Friday afternoon.
