Vanderbilt stuns N.C. State with fumble recovery in end zone for improbable 35-31 win
N.C. State's football team sought their first victory on the road against an SEC opponent since 1977 when they faced Vanderbilt on Saturday. However, Vanderbilt secured a thrilling 35-31 win with an improbable fumble recovery in the end zone. Miles Capers forced the fumble and Cayden Daniels recovered the ball moments before the clock ran out.
Vanderbilt, which trailed 17-0 and 24-7 earlier in the game, rallied behind freshman quarterback Jared Curtis. Their victory marked their largest comeback since defeating Ole Miss in 2012. N.C. State's quarterback CJ Bailey fumbled while attempting to run out the clock in the end zone following a play that could have been the final one. Vanderbilt capitalized on this momentum, ultimately winning by a narrow margin.
