Senior Levar Fisher's caused fumble in the second quarter was the 9th of his career, moving him into second place in the NC State record books for most caused fumbles in a career.
Senior Corey Smith caused his sixth fumble of the season in the third quarter, leading to NC State's go-ahead touchdown. Smith is now tied with Jesse Campbell for most caused fumbles in a season.
Philip Rivers passed for 180 yards today, giving him 3,988 passing yards for his career. That mark moves Rivers into sixth place in the NC State record books for career passing yards. Also, his second quarter touchdown pass to Joe Gray gives him 30 for his career, tying him for fourth place all-time.
Bryan Peterson's ninegh catches was his career high for catches in a game.
Ray Robinson's 90 rushing yards is his highest total of the season. Robinson had 31 carries, which is seventh in Wolfpack history for carries in a game by a NC State player.
Wake Forest Notes
Game Captains: Tonight's game captains are #2 John Stone, #99 Nate Bolling and #21 Fabian Davis.
Pace's Sack Attack: Junior Calvin Pace recorded his 15th career sack in the second quarter, moving him into a three-way tie for third place on WFU's all-time career sack chart. Pace is tied with James Parker (1976-79) and Fred Robbins (1996-99).
Tarence Gets 10, Then 100: Junior Tarence Williams recorded his 10th career rushing touchdown, a two-yarder on Wake's first drive of the game. He also recorded his sixth career 100-yard game with 113 yards on 25 carries. Williams is just one of 11 players in Wake Forest history to tally six 100-yard rushing games.
Big Play Guys: Fabian Davis' 38-yard pass to Jax Landfried which set up a Deacon touchdown in the second quarter was the fourth-longest pass of the season for Wake Forest. Of the six completed passes of 30 yards or better thrown by Wake Forest this season, three of them have been caught by Landfried.
Anderson Streak Stays Alive: It didn't happen until late in the fourth quarter, but redshirt freshman Jason Anderson kept his streak intact of catching a pass in every game of his collegiate career (five games). He is the only Deacon to have caught a pass in every game this season.
