Sunday 8:52am ESPN.com has posted highlights from the win over Wofford.
NC STATE ends the nation’s 4th longest losing streak at NINE by scoring more than 24 POINTS for the first time since playing Eastern Kentucky in September of 2005 (22 consecutive games)!!!!
In what is surely to be a future trivia question, both Sidney Lowe and Tom O’Brien earned their first victories at NC State against Wofford. (See November 10, 2006)
2nd Quarter Summary
* 49 yard field goal for Steven Hauschka! Nice to know that we can hit that. The klck would have been good from 55 but it was about 1 foot inside the upright, it started off wide right and hooked in.
* In replacement of an injured LaRue Rumph, freshman Thomas Barnes picksed up a fumble and returned it for a five yard defensive touchdown to start the 2nd quarter. When was the last time that we got a free one like this? I guess Willie Young’s TD return at Clemson in the middle of last season. Of course, we still lost that game. Barnes also had a great hit in the 2nd quarter.
* Andre Brown is exerting himself with chunks of yards with every touch. Brown has 113 yards and 2 TDs on just 14 carries.
* Every time Wofford gets some momentum they commit CTC-like penalties for substitutions, formations and procedures. Then again, State’s Martrel Brown and Thomas Barnes both got 15 yard penalties giving Wofford too much opportunity.
* Harrion Beck lost his rhythm in the second quarter
* Bradley Pierson’s third punt puts Wofford on their 17 yard line, but is only 18 yards in length. See first quarter comments on Pierson.

First Quarter Summary Comments
* Johnny Evans called it “Exactly what the doctor ordered” as NC State scores a touchdown on our first drive of a game for only the second time in the last 15 games when Andre Brown went in from three yards out. Brown has 42 yards on only 5 carries and Harrison Beck was 4 of 4 for 32 yards on the first drive.
* The Pack’s defense held the Terriers to a punt on their first series but seems to be trying to find our footing as Wofford gets 4 first downs on 6:30 minutes of possession time. Marcus Kuhn continues to get major playing time on defense. Miguel Scott had 5 tackles in the first quarter.
* Harrion Beck was very sharp in the first quarter despite going only 6 for 12 for 48 yards. Beck had at least three balls dropped (Stone, Eugene, Spencer) and threw one jump ball on a third and long. John Dunlap had three receptions in the first quarter.
* Welcome to the bigtime, Bradley Pierson. Pierson’s first punt went 49 yards!! Allow me to repeat…punts for 49 yards!!!! Pierson nailed his second punt of the night with a high hanger that died on the Wofford 2 yard line. Awesome!!
* State had three penalties in the 1st quarter.
hate me if you believe in jinxes, and its too early to say this but Beck looks a lot more under control
play by play folks?
or at least series recaps?
man, catches like that are going to insure Fla wins this game.
wrong, B.C.’s kicker missed an extra point
Can we pop 23+ on Wofford?
ok, state had no third downs on the drive, 7-0, went 74 yards, mostly on runs by brown
beck looked good, the o line is shoving wofford around, run had a 20 yard run where the backs and line set their blocks and brown ran left, Brown skipped through a larger hole in the middle for the score.
wofford completes 4 yard reception to sideline
wofford first down out of the option pitch
good start.
state’s defense and kick coverage unit are flying on on tackles
everett, you can’t set this right?
see
state holds at midfield and takes over at 20 after punt into ezone
I am watching espn game cast, so I get the plays and such. I don’t reckon I need a blow by blow - just the highlights or points the gamecaster thingy won’t show.
turning into a butt kicking in Florida.
beck had a 4th and hallelujah, threw it away after rolling out and checking down and not seeing anything
A UCF win, God willing, would be very nice for NCSU
Central Florida within 6 of Texas late in 3rd Qtr.
23-17
state is struggling to cover the option
wofford is getting chunks of yard on it, state is struggling to get wide to cover the pitch back
Kevin james just had a 20+ yarder, UCF in scoring position.
Wofford has it first and goal from the two.
nice, dueling penalties.
Touchdown Wofford…but two flags are down.
FYI…Yahoo has a free live stream.
got a link for us Dogbreath?
Two yards on a rush…I couldn’t hear who.
Second and goal.
man, how far behind is this stream? is the yahoo stream any faster?
central florida gives it up on downs on UT’s 35, McCoy comes in and is intercepted on first play, so UCF has the ball again.
Someone tell me we held them.
espn gamecast is way behind.
FG by Wofford

Click on NCSU the link for free audio
ytactor57, what stream are you watching?
no stream just listening to the radio
Kevin Smith to the 23, 32 yrd run, but hurt on the run.
Smith looks ok - and I’ve got the radio through yahoo! YAAAA HOOO !
thanks for the link PackerInRussia!!
Who is this punter? Great job!!
Are Beck’s throws just off, or are his receivers dropping these?
UCF TD!
beck had a nice 50 yard pass down to blackmon, underthrown a little, nice punt down to the 3
UCF has tied the game up fellas.
woohoo,
24-23 ucf 12:00 to go.
isn’t it nice to watch mack brown sweat
Central Florida just went up 24-23 over Tejas!
^^^^I believe the punter is a junior walk-on.
If UCF holds on here, then that loss wont look as bad as it does right now.
Bradley Pierson From East Duplin HS
Barnes scores with a fumble recovery
YEAAAAAAAH
WUF PACK
Well done D -
is that the D’s first touchdown this year? They deserve one for darn sure, several in fact.
I thought the Barnes kid was a sure fire redshirt candidate. Surprised he is getting any burn, but great play.
OHHHH, UCF dropped an interception!
he is in because of injury
the UT boy trapped that ball.
Barnes gets his name called again - he’s a freshman huh?
Well done!
UT gets the field goal, go up by 2 pts.
Barnes forced to burn his redshirt b/c Guerlin Dervil was an absolute wasted scholarship.
Alright - was it smart for Beck to through that while he was going down?
that’s the kind of play that we want him NOT to do isn’t it?
is anyone actually watching this game, or are we all listening to it?
About Bradley Pierson, I can’t find it again, but I read something earlier this week about how he’s always thought he was equal to, if not, the best kicker on the State roster his few years here. The coaches encouraged him to hang in and keep giving it his best. Point is, in his mind, he’s known he was worthy of being our starting P and is sharing with us today that he is right!
p.s. I can’t find the free audio on Yahoo…
I’m watching, it was an acrobatic play a la Rivers did not look low percentage
Beck just overthrew stone, poor throw, overthrow
Jinxed Pierson…..18 yard punt.
pierson tried to pooch it, kicked it out at the 17
I didn’t know I wielded that kind of power.
big play for UT, they are in the red zone. 6:25 left.
I still don’t get why punters don’t line up with the post at the front corner of the endzone aim to kick it right over it or short of it. Wydmire just ran about 30 yards, man, we are really struggling with the pitch.
Barnes again
http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/collegebroadcast;
click scoreboard, then all scores, then hit state, and there will be a volume sign to click - you’ll get a new window, and audio.
texas scores
nice play stringing out the option little gain.
barnes has speed he has been in on three straight plays on both sides of the field.
well done AB!
man, does the Offense need this.
lost track of UT/UCF, but the score is 29-24. UT must of hit a FG.
UCF has the ball, 5 min’s left.
Moving the ball up and down the field, but still questionable whether we will get more than 23 points tonight.
amazing.
I hope to goodness the o line is improving and wofford isn’t that weak up front
damn, turn over - UT gets the ball on UCF’s 40.
That might be all she wrote.
come on state, punch it in for goodness sakes.
Charles breaks a big run, UT scores, that should be it.
AB touchdown!
Touchdown
yiiiipiiiie
this is great.
the touchdown was a leap over the pile by brown, he went in untouched and landed in the endzone
“Barnes forced to burn his redshirt b/c Guerlin Dervil was an absolute wasted scholarship.”
I remember a couple of folks telling me that Dervil was going to be an absolute beast. He was supposed to be this athletic freak.
Whatever he was, he wasn’t a football player.
very impressive out of the endzone kickoff from the 30
nice play on the ball dropped interception by scott
Shit an injured DT.
wydmire had a forward pass on the option beyond the line of scrimmage, no call.
Who got hurt?
nasty cut block on the ankle to bedics.
he limped off
Typical Hahn. Refused to or unable to identify the injured player. Three minutes later in the broadcast, we learn from Tony Haynes that it was Bedics.
can i still see this game on 360 through the link from last week?
espn360 just went black
now it is back
how the hell did UCF get back in this?
I went to make steak-ums for me and the kiddo, and bam!
ESPN360 and PackPass are total rackets. Don’t waste your money or time on them.
beautiful run by Eugene, he had about four guys in front of him and he just outran them turning a loss into an 11 yard gain
game over, UT escapes. but a lose to UCF looks a lot more reasonable suddenly.
Who was Gary Deunerbergh’s play by play guy? I know I butchered Gary’s name.
at least I can see it
wally ausley
Gary Dornburg and Wally Eisley.
gary dornburg, they were fantastic, wally ausley turned down the boston red sox to broadcast the state games
We cracked 23! Holy shit!
where’s noah to tell ya the streak when you need him?
i think that is something like only the second time in 15 or 16 games that we’ve scored 24 or more
that klck would have been good from 55 but it was about 1 foot inside the upright, it started off wide right and hooked in
does gary hahn’s voice remind any one of wally?
not only were Wally & Gary great announcers, but everytime I got to met and speak with them (which was a fair bit since I worked for the SID) they were super nice guys. Good people.
it is the first time since fall, 2005 I know
I met both of them and everytime I saw them at games or restaurants like the K and W in Greensboro, I used to ask them all kinds of questions. They always acted interested all though I was between 8 and 12 years old, they enjoyed broadcasting state games so much it was entertaining as much to hear them as anything else
whoever 7 is for state did a great job of defending the option, wydmire cut up field, 7 came up to tackle, him wydmire cut back, 7 turned around and chased him out of bounds, great play
Beez, did you know Pat Gavaghan with the WPC? He was a good friend of ours who worked a lot with the SID. I always wondered what happened to him.
How long has it been since we’ve done it against a D1A school? I believe that last was against WKU (still D1AA then?).
noah? as much as i hate to admit it…we need noah
done what?
The last time we scored more than 23 points was the final game of the year against ECU in 2005, I believe.
ah…behold…NOAH
i guess the free 360 thing isn’t happening anymore?
Actually, now that I think about it…it might be 2004.
We may have scored 23 against ECTC, but I am pretty sure we haven’t scored more than 23 since the EKU game to start that season. Something like 25 games.
PaPacker, I did not know Pat G. I was just a high school guy, totin’ and fetchin’ between that fall of 79 and spring of 83. Mike Finn was my boss - isn’t he in the conference office now?
Tell you what, working in the press box was a huge step up from walking around selling drinks! We talked about drunk guys earlier this week - but man, was the student aisle tough to go down - and you always came up short, lol. Sitting in the press box, making something like $25 dollars, and eating all I wanted was way better.
that is awesome that Lowe and potentially TOB get their first wins at State over Wofford.
See, the fates were watching out for us.
We scored 24 against FSU last year. In 2005, we scored 54 against E. Kentucky and 24 against MTSU. And Nov. 27, 2004, we scored 52 against ECU.
11/27/04, that was the last time we scored more than 25 or more against a D1 opponent.
that can’t all be the quarterback…that’s all i’ve got to say
bedics…done
i hope we get him back for next week…
robby leonard made a great tackle on the kickoff he fought off the wedge and took the kick returner down with one arm, nice play on the pitch on 1st down
Done for the night? For the season?
wow, the first half and halftime took 2 hours and 20 minutes.
wow, I would not go for this
they said “done for the night”, but at the end of the first half evans said he was going to the locker room…on crutches with his ankle wrapped. Sounds like a sprain…which on a big boy like bedics…could take over a month to heal.
BC is moving easily - and whooping to the camera a whole lot too.
How are our men behaving this evening, those of you who can see it?
no goofiness from state players, very composed
I sometimes think blackmon fair catches too much
any of you all need the BC-GT updates, or does everyone have it on?
great block for blackmon by dunlap, he knocked a guy off his feet to spring blackmon
^ good to hear PAPacker.
BC goes up 7-0, 2 yrd run by Whitemore.
So I guess Bedics is back?
BC should enjoy it while they can. IMO, they come back down to earth next year.
very poor read by beck that could have been returned for a td on interception.
the espn announcers are doing a good job, IMHO
yeahhhh - nice job forcing the fumble!
man, who was it that wasn’t hunting today rather then going to the game? GAwolfpacker? Well, sometimes you have to make these sacrifices for the team.
two bedics…pat and john
the fullback is healthy, his brother the defensive tackle is hurt
USC forces the Huskers to punt, march right down and score easily.
Might be a long night for the best football fans in the country.
Brown ran over the right side, effortlessly, just danced in untouched. Touchdown
31-3
I catch a break with Auburn losing, only to have Bama winning big. Lordy - they’ll talk ten times as much smack the next week.
howabout the whoopin’ ‘bama is puttin on the hawgs
Mr wuf is having trouble doing 31 pushups. He’s not used to this.
oh…louisville is strugglin at kentucky…down 13-7
Wow, unknown territory, imagine
should we pull for ECU to keep winning, and maybe get ranked? So then we’d have the opportunity to beat them at home AND like end their bowl chances, knock them out of the polls, something like that?
Is it wrong to feel that way?
haha - like I care if it is.
maybe we should switch Mr Wuf to shots instead of push ups.
State d is doing a really good job pursuing and gang tackling
Jimmy sutton dropped a pass that fell into his hands, awful drop
have they called Barnes’ name this half?
no, but blackmon just shoved a guy down with a stiff arm and picked up an extra 8 yards
State’s backs really run strong and have been knocking defenders backward all night
TD Wofford. 61 yards.
BTW, I’m looking at the UNC board. They think they got jobbed by the refs today.
“Phantom field goal”
Ooookay. I’ll look forward to your next video on YouTube.
BC fumbles on GT’s 8. the Wreck starts a drive.
wofford ran a lot of playaction, the safety bit and strickland got behind the coverage for a 61-yard touchdown pass
espn must be really losing money on this, they have not has one ad on that has not been espn or abc
georgia tech’s qb doesn’t have a lot of zip on his passes
pat bedics just limped off, looks like an ankle
beck made a very good decision to pull it in and run with it
Touchdown good guys.
so that makes it both Bedics brothers out…with ankles
is that the second time the long snapper has made the play? downed it?
punt fumbled, recovered by the long snapper at the 1
touchdown Eugene, again very easily
didn’t the long snapper down the ball on the one or something in the first half?
beez…yup…that was the longsnapper on both plays
Ahahahaha. Mr wuf stayed far away from the corner of the field where the cheerleaders were waiting patiently with the pushup platform. Finally one of the cheerleaders dudes pinch hit for him.
I sure don’t think of long snappers as speedsters, lol.
good for him.
He deserves consideration for a game ball tonight.
huskers punch it in, thanks to a penalty as they were kicking the field goal that gave them a first down. point after good.
all tied up in Lincoln
Thomas barnes just smashed the wofford back, I mean knocked him sidways in the air
idiotic punt rush for personal foul, not even close mauled the guy
^ sweet PAPacker - I was wondering where Barnes was - seem to go quiet after his face mask call.
and a sounded like a sweet hit by our German!
and now the turn over!
nice, nice nice
what are we going talk about this week? lol
wofford has been pitching the ball forward beyond the line of scrimmage and getting by with it all night
the pitch back was popped by sutton with state recovering
by the way, wofford’s line is cut blocking, maybe everybody does these days, but they are rolling into the knees/ankles of the d line, it was really obvious on the last play
darn - a River-esque pass and reception for BC for their second score. #2 caught the ball.
robinson is #2 for BC. beauty catch.
GT is still scoreless.
Andre brown bent over holding his wrist a little.
last thing we need is anyone getting hurt now.
good gracious.
looks like the Hogs are starting to play dirty.
time to put the 3rd stringers in. we have to many bangs and bruises tonight
