On to the 2nd half, where UNC begins at their own 27.
3 and out for UNC, and we get the ball back at our own 19.
For whatever reason, Amaya begins the half thinking he's Warren Moon. Mackie drops his first attempt, but Wertz catches the second for 11 yards. Finally, Amaya goes deep
to Clark who somehow comes down with the ball for a 55 yard reception. Go figure. I really want to see Clark's stats - he is having a monster game! 1st and 10 at the UNC 15. Touchdown! Amaya connects with Gino Linquist for the 15 yard pass. 4 plays, 81 yards - 1:43 off the clock. N.C. State 28, UNC 7 - 12:10 left in the 3rd.
3 and out for UNC. Babbitt is now 5 for 22. Good grief.
Our ball at our 41. 9 plays and 56 yards later our drive stalls at the 3 yard line. Allen connects on the 20 yard FG - N.C. State 31, North Carolina 7. Amaya continues his John Elway impersonation with 260 yards passing thus far.
The next drive begins with sacks by Schmaltz and Arnswaldt. We are teeing off now! Of course I say that and Babbitt throws a 92 yard TD pass on the very next play
. Son of a.... The 2 point conversion fails, and we continue to lead 31-13. 4:18 left in the 3rd.
The quarter ends with 3 and outs by both football teams. On the last play of the quarter, Amaya finds Clark open deep for a 30 yard completion. Whatever. 1st and 10 at the N.C. State 42.
