Armstrong, Narveson and penalties help N.C. State survive at Virginia, 24-21

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- , Brennan Armstrong said “it was pretty surreal, pretty weird” playing as a visitor at Scott Stadium, where he'd emerged from the Virginia locker room for five seasons. It wasn't as weird as the ending in his lone visit as an opponent. Armstrong hit KC Concepcion with a pair of touchdown passes and Brayden Narveson kicked a second-chance 33-yard field goal as time expired and North Carolina State beat Virginia 24-21 Friday night. The Cavaliers made a dramatic comeback to tie it with 36 seconds left, but penalties , two they survived and one they didn't , were their undoing. “Penalties won us the game,” Armstrong said. Narveson's first attempt from 48 yards was blocked by James Jackson , but he was called for a personal foul, moving the ball 15 yards closer. His second try was true.
