Duke’s beatdown of NC State included a must-see missed field goal returned for a 109-yard touchdown

Duke beat NC State 41-3 in Raleigh, with a missed field goal returned for a 109-yard touchdown just before half-time standing out as the game’s defining moment. The play turned a potential 24-6 score into 31-3, deepening a difficult season for the Wolfpack.

NC State entered the game 4-4 and had recently changed coaches, with Todd Goebbel serving as interim head coach. Kicker Kanoah Vinesett’s 50-yard attempt fell short with two seconds left in the half, and Duke safety Andrew Pellicciotta caught it in the end zone and ran the length of the field; Duke added 10 points after the break.
