What happened
ESPN RECAPPerson, NC State hold on to beat Wake Forest 45-42 in opener
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Ricky Person Jr . scored the short go-ahead touchdown with 5:51 left to help North Carolina State edge Wake Forest 45-42 on Saturday night in the Wolfpack's delayed season debut. Person ran for 99 yards and two scores to lead the Wolfpack (1-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who opened the eighth season under Dave Doeren a week later than originally scheduled due to a coronavirus-related postponement. He also threw a jump-pass TD throw near the goal line in the third quarter. Zonovan Knight added 97 yards rushing and a score of his own for N.C. State, which ended a three-game skid in the long-running instate series. More importantly, though, it got the Wolfpack back onto the field after having the originally planned opener at Virginia Tech set for last weekend pushed back for two weeks.
