RALEIGH -- N.C. State's players got back to the locker room just in time to watch the tape-delayed broadcast of the game-clinching defensive series on television.
After the month the Wolfpack had, it was a moment worth watching again.
Russell Wilson threw three touchdowns and ran for another, and N.C. State snapped its four-game losing streak by holding off Maryland 38-31 on Saturday in a matchup of the ACC Atlantic Division's worst teams.
In a wild game that featured a combined 752 total yards and five turnovers, Wilson was 25 for 38 for 343 yards and the Wolfpack (4-5, 1-4) -- who went 0-for-October -- came up with just enough plays to secure their second win against a Bowl Subdivision opponent.
"They go in the locker room, it's like they don't know how to win anymore, it's been so long," coach Tom O'Brien said.
Wilson overcame a career-worst three interceptions with touchdown tosses of 17 yards to George Bryan, 35 yards to Donald Bowens and 18 yard to Darrell Davis. Wilson and Jamelle Eugene each had 2-yard scoring runs.
