In response, kicker Jake Weinberg managed to put Florida State on the board with a successful field goal attempt from 46 yards out. This narrowed NC State's lead slightly but left much work for FSU as they headed into halftime trailing by four points.

Returning from halftime, both teams displayed strong defensive plays. However, it was NC State who capitalized once more with another touchdown drive that extended their advantage over FSU. The Tribe's defense showed resilience through players like Stefon Thompson and Deante McCray who contributed significantly by combining for multiple sacks and tackles for loss.
