RALEIGH, N.C. -- Dennis Kennedy's third 1-yard touchdown run -- on the last play of the game -- capped a frantic fourth quarter and lifted Akron to a 20-17 victory over North Carolina State on Saturday.
The Zips (1-1) took advantage of an unsportsmanlike conduct call on the Wolfpack after Marcus Stone's 11-yard scoring pass to Jamelle Eugene with 1:07 remaining. The 15-yard penalty moved the kickoff back and allowed Akron to return the ball to its own 33.
Luke Getsy completed two passes totaling 42 yards to Jabari Arthur, down to the Wolfpack 25. Following an incompletion, Getsy scrambled 14 yards to the N.C. State 11, then added a 10-yard dash to the 1 with 3.5 seconds remaining.
On the next play, Kennedy nudged the ball across the goal line just before his knee hit the ground. The Wolfpack (1-1) were out of time outs and unable to challenge the call.
