Harvey Dyson's forced fumble lifts NC State past Louisville

N.C. State defeated Louisville 31-28 on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Carter-Finley Stadium, with a fourth-quarter forced fumble by Harvey Dyson proving decisive. Coach Dave Doeren called it one of the best plays he has seen in his career. With the score tied early in the fourth quarter, Dyson chased down Louisville running back Keyjuan Brown from behind, stripping the ball to force a fumble recovered by the Wolfpack. N.C. State capitalized with a go-ahead field goal, and Dyson added a crucial third-down sack on Louisville's final drive. The win extends N.C. State's streak to two games after a loss at Vanderbilt, with linebacker Popo Aguirre recovering three fumbles. The Wolfpack next host Wake Forest on Saturday, Oct. 10.
