2nd Quarter action...

N.C. State ball on the UNC 48. Macri breaks one for 15 yards after a great block by Lentzner - he now has 25 yards on 7 carries. Amaya again throws (despite my pleadings from the sideline) and connects to Clark (again!) for 18 yards. 1st and 10 at the UNC 15. We finally focus on running the ball, and 4 plays later Linquist scores his 2nd TD of the day, via a 3 yard TD run. 7 plays, 70 yards, 3:40 off the clock. N.C. State 14, UNC 7 - 12:14 left in the half.

Another 3 and out for UNC - they mustered only 28 yards of offense.

On 3rd and 10 from our own 24 - Amaya finds his favorite receiver again for 18 yards. We then methodically drive down the field. Our rushing attack is finding the holes, and Amaya continually connects with Carter. The drive ends when Orland Macri breaks off the right guard for a 12 yard TD run, giving us a 21-7 lead. 8 plays, 76 yards, 3:31 off the clock. 6:13 left in the half.

UNC finally begins to move the ball against us, and they pick up 3 first downs on the next drive. They stall at our 18, and a 45 yard FG attempt falls short of the crossbar. 1:41 left in the half.

Our drive goes nowhere, and neither does their's. We've held their quarterback, Babbitt to 4 completions in 16 attempts in the first half.
