NC State's Steven Hauschka, who provided the winning points for the Wolfpack in a 19-16 win over Miami with a 42-yard field goal in overtime, was voted this week's Specialist of the Week. The game winning kick was his fourth field goal of the game, including three in the fourth quarter as the Wolfpack rallied.

All of Hauschka's career-high four field goals came in the fourth quarter or overtime of NC State's 19-16 win over Miami on Saturday. His 47-yarder with 6:55 to play gave the Wolfpack its first lead of the day, and his 42-yarder in overtime sealed the win for NC State. Hauschka has now hit 14-of-15 field goals this season, and leads the ACC with a 93.3 field goal percentage. In addition, Hauschka notched four touchbacks on five kickoffs in the win.

NC State will play North Carolina in Raleigh Saturday at noon.
