Tar Heels Downed By NC State, 28-27

Posted Nov 28, 2009
Even in a season gone awry, Russell Wilson and North Carolina State still know how to beat North Carolina. Wilson threw four touchdown passes and Alan-Michael Cash blocked a field goal attempt with about 5 minutes left to help the Wolfpack rally past the 23rd-ranked Tar Heels 28-27 on Saturday, ending a bowl-less season in the jubilant style that only a win against a nationally ranked rival can bring.
