NC State outlasted Georgia Tech 48-36 in a high-scoring ACC showdown at Carter-Finley Stadium. Quarterback CJ Bailey powered the Wolfpack offense with two touchdown passes and a rushing score, while the ground game contributed four rushing touchdowns overall. Despite a valiant effort from Georgia Tech's Haynes King, who accounted for four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing), the Yellow Jackets couldn't overcome NC State's explosive second half that included a 55-yard strike from Bailey to Teddy Hoffmann.
