Kickoff by Allen, 9 yard into the end zone, but this time the Maryland return team thinks better of it and takes it for the touchback.
1st and 10 MD ball at their 20. Keeton gets the call and goes around the left end for one yard - Ethan Alexander and Bubba Flynn on the stop. Engel calls pass on 2nd down and completes it to Walton for 17 yards. 1st and 10 at the MD 38. Keeton receives the hand-off, but O.J. Brooks was cheating and takes him down for a 4 yard loss (Brooks has been unreal today). 2nd and 14. A reverse to Walton (good call, I think) picks up 9 yards - C.J. Schmaltz makes the tackle. 3rd and 5. The 3rd down pass by Engel to Wagner is dropped by the receiver. 4th down! 32 yard punt, 21 yard return by Kenneth Wertz - N.C. State ball at their own 46. 2:53 left in the 3rd.
Amaya throws into the flat to Macri and he picks up 16 yards on the completion (2nd time that play has worked for good yardage). 1st and 10 at the MD 38. Amaya spots Clark open for a 10 yard pass. 1st and 10 at the 28. Macri runs off tackle for a couple yards, and that's followed-up with a quarterback draw for 5. 3rd and 3. Justin takes the snap and fires a bullet to Orlando Macri again for an 8 yard gain and the first down. 1st and 10 at the 13. Macri gets the hand-off on first down and is pushed out of bounds after an 11 yard pickup. Get this comment: "[Cedric] Wayne annihilated MARY 55 Stafford to set up the play." Sweet! 1st and goal at the 2! In an odd move, Craigsca calls for a reverse
- Brodie is stopped for no gain. 2nd and 2....and that's the end of the 3rd quarter.
N.C. State 35, Maryland 21
BTW, for you statistics people, we outgained them 163 to 42 that quarter.
