Quarterbacks Terry Harvey and Rusty LaRue dueled Saturday, LaRue throwing for an Atlantic Coast Conference-record 545 yards but Harvey tossing five touchdowns as North Carolina State routed Wake Forest, 52-23.
Harvey completed 19 of 22 passes for 326 yards and no interceptions, connecting for two touchdowns apiece with Wolfpack receivers Jimmy Grissett and Mike Guffie.
N.C. State, 3-7 overall and 2-5 in the ACC, scored touchdowns on six of its first seven possessions, including two touchdowns in the final 31 seconds of the first half.
