  "summary": "North Carolina State's quarterback CJ Bailey admitted that a shocking game-ending fumble against Vanderbilt was just part of the unpredictable nature of football. In a 35-31 loss, Bailey committed the costly mistake by fumbling the ball in his team's end zone as time expired in the fourth quarter. Despite finishing the game with 275 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception, Bailey acknowledged that such moments are part of the game. NC State will aim to recover from this setback in their upcoming Week 4 matchup against Appalachian State.",
