Nyheim Hines breaks for a pair of scores, leads NC State to win over rival UNC

You can only keep Nyheim Hines bottled up for so long. Once he gets going, he’s hard to stop. The North Carolina State junior running back exploded for a couple of long touchdowns, breaking the game open in the second half as the Wolfpack downed North Carolina 33-21.

It was the first time since 2012 that the home team won in this heated rivalry. A lot of the credit goes to the local kid Hines, who finished with a career-high 196 yards on 22 carries. The Garner High graduate broke for a 54-yard score on the last play of the third quarter and followed that with a 48 run on his first touch of the fourth to give the Wolfpack a 13-point lead.
