Cheaters Never Win

On Saturday the North Carolina State Wolfpack football team went to Chapel Hill hoping to keep their hopes of an ACC championship alive. While it looked glummy at first the Pack prevailed in the second half with a prayer answered by Owen Spencer diving to catch a ball and an amazing punt return by T.J. Graham. The final score was 29-25 with the Pack advancing to a 8-3 record and 5-2 in the ACC. With Maryland coming next week the Pack looks for a Victory to advance to the ACC championship in Charlotte coming next week.

If anything was proven Saturday it was that the rivalry between the Wolfpack and Tar Heels is very much alive. During the third quarter Saturday Jarvis Williams and a safety from Carolina got into a fight where both players were ejected. While some say this is bad for college football I believe it is excellent for the rivalry and it really helped fire up the Pack for their late comeback in Saturdays game.
