  "account": "In a dramatic finish to their season, Vanderbilt football pulled off an incredible last-second play to defeat NC State 35-31. With just six seconds remaining and NC State poised to secure the victory with an intentional safety, Vanderbilt's quarterback Jared Curtis led his team to an improbable win. The Wolfpack had committed a costly mistake, as quarterback CJ Bailey was stripped of the ball in the end zone, resulting in a fumble recovery touchdown for Vanderbilt. This monumental upset kept Vanderbilt's perfect 3-0 record intact and marked the worst start to a season for NC State since 2008 under coach Dave Doeren. Former Vanderbilt quarterback Jared Curtis threw for 227 yards and three touchdowns, while NC State's season started 1-2, a disheartening opening to their 2026 campaign.",
