NC State survives wild 4th quarter with last-second field goal to beat UVA, 24-21

Well holy hot goddamn, that was a journey of an experience that I neither asked for nor needed. To recap that frenzy of madness to end things:

NC State punted deep from within its own territory with about five minutes left, this after picking off Anthony Colandrea for the second time in the quarter. Virginia responded with a touchdown drive on the short field, but was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty on the late touchdown, forcing the Cavaliers to attempt the game-tying two-pointer from beyond the 20.

Of course, Virginia converted this anyway with a jump ball that was really poorly contested.
