NC State rallies to beat Pitt, 38-31
RALEIGH, N.C. — Toney Baker scored from 2 yards out with 6:28 left and North Carolina State’s defense made a late stand to preserve a 38-31 victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
In a wild game in which the teams combined for 830 total yards, Russell Wilson threw four touchdown passes for the third straight week and finished 21 of 35 for 322 yards for the Wolfpack (3-1).
Wilson also rushed 10 times for 91 yards and led three straight second-half touchdown drives for N.C. State. The last was kept alive by two pass-interference calls on third downs against Pitt. Baker raced untouched through the left side two plays later to give N.C. State its first — and only — lead.
Bill Stull was 12 of 23 for 206 yards with two touchdown passes while Dion Lewis had two early scoring runs for the Panthers (3-1).
