RALEIGH, N.C. — A week after one of the biggest football wins in school history, No. 23 N.C. State had to fight hard Saturday to keep from being upset at Carter-Finley Stadium.
The Wolfpack built a 34-20 lead over Louisiana Tech midway through the fourth quarter, then had to make a clutch defensive stop in the final seconds to preserve a 34-27 victory in its final nonconference game of the season.
The Pack’s Jakeen Harris intercepted Austin Kendall’s pass in the end zone on the final play of the game. A week after knocking off Clemson, the Pack improved to 4-1 this season.
Pack quarterback Devin Leary passed for 251 yards and two scores, and Ricky Person and Zonovan Knight combined for 175 yard rushing, each scoring TDs.
Kendall was 26-of-43 passing for 341 yards and three scores and also rushed for 71 yards.
