This season, Russell Wilson managed just one scoring pass against the 16th-ranked Seminoles. He more than made up for that on the ground, however. Wilson rushed for three touchdowns in the October 28 matchup, marking the first time a Wolfpack field gen- eral had run for three scores since Preston Poag did it against Western Carolina on Sept. 3, 1988. Wilson has now run for 15 touchdowns in his career, the second-best mark ever for Game 11: NC State (7-3, 4-2) vs. North Carolina (6-4, 3-3) RECORD WHEN... an NC State quarterback.

In the win over Cincinnati, Colby Jackson blocked a punt. He did it again in the win at Boston College and this time the Pack recovered it for a touchdown. In the entire 2009 campaign, the Wolfpack blocked just one punt. The team blocked two in 2008 and had just one in 2007.

THE BASH BROTHERS NC State has a pair of special-teams defenders this season with a few things in common. One, they have both handed out several chinstrap-stretching tackles on special teams. Two, they both started off their careers as walk-ons to the Wolfpack Game 11: NC State (7-3, 4-2) vs. North Carolina (6-4, 3-3) program. Three, they both have the same last name.
