  CJ Bailey threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, and scored another on the ground as NC State took down Memphis 31-7 in the Gasparilla Bowl on Friday. The Wolfpack concluded their season at 8-5 (4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) and won a bowl game for the first time since the 2017 Sun Bowl. Jayden "Duke" Scott racked up 108 rushing yards to pace the NC State offense. Wesley Grimes led with 48 receiving yards and a score on three catches and six targets. NC State struck first on their opening drive as Bailey scampered for a 14-yard rush. The Wolfpack scored on all but two of their first-half drives to take a 31-7 lead into halftime.

Grimes hauled in a 31-yard touchdown, Teddy Hoffman took his only catch for a 40-yard score, and Will Wilson tacked on a 1-yard rushing touchdown before time expired in the first half. The Tigers (8-5, 4-4 American Conference) got on the board with Jamari Hawkins’ 28-yard reception. Hawkins had four catches for 32 yards. NC State is 18-18-1 in bowl games and made its sixth straight appearance. Memphis is 9-9 in bowl games, winning four straight from 2020-2024. The Tigers are one of seven FBS programs with an active streak of 12 or more straight bowl invitations. - NC State/AP College Football

  Short-yardage quarterback Will Wilson ran for four touchdowns while starter C.J. Bailey threw two scoring passes as N.C. State blew out rival North Carolina 42-19 on Saturday night, ending NFL icon Bill Belichick's first college season with the Tar Heels. Wilson ran for 54 yards and had a 15-yard dragging-the-pile score in the third quarter for the Wolfpack (7-5, 4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who scored touchdowns on all four first-half drives to firmly take control of this one.

Bailey threw TD passes to Wesley Grimes and Justin Joly in that dominant first half on the way to yet another rivalry win for coach Dave Doeren, who has now beaten UNC five straight years. Gio Lopez threw a touchdown pass for the Tar Heels (4-8, 2-6), though he was knocked from the game early in the third quarter when his left leg bent under him awkwardly on a sack. He was helped to the tunnel putting no weight on his left leg, leading to Max Johnson taking over the offense with UNC down 28-10. UNC finished with 265 total yards and 11 penalties for 129 yards. - NC State/AP College Football

  Justin Joly had a clinching fourth-down touchdown catch with 1:47 left - coming after Florida State committed turnovers on back-to-back late punt returns - to help N.C. State hang for a 21-11 win Friday night and become bowl eligible. The Wolfpack (6-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) grinded to this win behind a defense that allowed one TD and got a huge showing from cornerback Devon Marshall with two interceptions and five pass breakups. The offense did its best work on a 15-play drive lasting nearly 9 minutes, ending with Will Wilson plowing through the left side for a 1-yard keeper and a 14-3 third-quarter lead. But it was the special-teams miscues by the Seminoles (5-6, 2-6) that stood out most.

Trailing 14-11, they forced the Wolfpack to punt near midfield, only for Caden Noonkester's short kick to hit the helmet of FSU blocker K.J. Kirkland - then bounce about 25 yards back to Noonkester, who dove on the ball near the original line of scrimmage with 3:53 left. FSU again forced a punt, only to see Squirrel White muff the catch and have it bounce right to N.C. State's Tra Thomas with 2:21 left. C.J. Bailey followed with his second TD throw on the 12-yarder to Joly for the 21-11 lead. Duce Robinson had a 9-yard TD catch from Tommy Castellanos midway through the fourth for FSU's lone touchdown. - NC State/AP College Football

  WEEK 10 WALTER CAMP NATIONAL FBS OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: CJ BAILEY, NORTH CAROLINA STATE, Sophomore, Quarterback, Miami, FL,...CJ Bailey accounted for 386 yards of total offense and three touchdowns in North Carolina State's 48-36 victory against No. 8 Georgia Tech.

With the win, the Wolfpack improved to 5-4. Notes: It is the seventh time since 2004 that a NC State player has earned Walter Camp National FBS Player of Week honors.

  Duke Scott saw N.C. State's fans pouring over the walls of the stands, running in from all directions and join the Wolfpack for an on field victory party. "It was awesome," the redshirt freshman said, down to taking pictures with jubilant field-storming fans. And Wolfpack fans had every reason to savor Saturday night's 48-36 win over No. 8 Georgia Tech. It marked the Yellow Jackets' first loss, coming with them driving toward a berth in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game and a possible trip to the College Football Playoff. And it came with the Wolfpack leaning on multiple players like Scott being pressed into leading roles due to injuries. "Resiliency is what this place is about," Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said. "It's why I've always loved N.C. State. It's definitely a part of my DNA. "The harder it gets, sometimes I think the better we are." Scott was the star, running for a career-best 196 yards in place of injured league rushing leader Hollywood Smothers (101.3). CJ Bailey threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns while running for another for the Wolfpack (5-4, 2/3 ACC), which rode a crisp offensive showing from the opening possession to the program's first win against a top-10 opponent in more than four years.

Georgia Tech (8-1, 5-1) entered with its first 8-0 start since 1966 and joined No. 15 Virginia as the only teams unbeaten in ACC play. In an unusual twist, N.C. State has beaten both. The Wolfpack handed the Cavaliers their lone loss in September, though that was in a nonconference matchup added outside the league's scheduling model and doesn't count in the ACC standings. N.C. State posted 583 total yards and scored on eight of 10 drives, with six going for TDs. "They lined up and physically kicked our (butt) in a lot of ways," Georgia Tech coach Brent Key said. "It is what it is. That's on me. I take responsibility for it." Haynes King threw for 408 yards and two scores while running for 103 yards and two more touchdowns for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets had 559 yards but settled for three field goals and also had a missed kick. The game's lone turnover came on the final play, when Caden Fordham intercepted King's desperation throw to the end zone to trigger the Wolfpack's on-field victory party. - NC State/AP College Football

With the Bulls trailing, 7-0, Snow caught a pass over the middle and dashed 75 yards for a touchdown. Down seven late in the third quarter, Snow caught a 19-yard touchdown pass to tie the game once again. He scored the go-ahead touchdown in overtime on a nine-yard run. - MAC Football

  Tad Hudson threw two second-half touchdowns and Coastal Carolina capitalized on Southern Alabama's mistakes for a 38-20 victory on Saturday night in a Sun Belt opener for both teams. It was a difficult second half for South Alabama, after leading 14-7 at the half. South Alabama had an 11-yard punt and an interception, both resulting in Coastal Carolina touchdowns. A late fumble was returned by Tray Brown for a touchdown.

Ja'Vin Simpkins had 84 yards rushing and a touchdown for Coastal Carolina (2-2), which entered the game averaging 6.7 points per game, worst (134th) in FBS. South Alabama quarterback Bishop Davenport threw his second interception with 3:41 remaining, in an eight-point deficit. Keenan Phillips rushed for 104 yards for South Alabama (1-3) and Kentrel Bullock added a touchdown on the ground. The Jaguars outgained the Chanticleers, tallying 420 yards to 294, but turned the ball over three times to none. - Coastal Carolina/AP College Football
