The mascot waits for the team to exit the locker room. The Carolina-N.C. State football rivalry began in 1894. Carolina now leads the all-time series 60-25-6.

The captains come out before the rest of the team. Carolina won the coin toss and elected to defer their decision to the second half.

Coach Connors leads the rest of the team out of the locker room. Four of Carolina's first five games have been on the road.

The team heads down the hill towards their bench. Carolina waited for State to come on the field first before making its own entrance.

Coach Huxtable and Coach Webster talk to the defense before the opening kickoff.

John Lafferty gets off a 35-yard punt that was downed by Danny Davis on the State 3-yard line.

(L-R) Willie McNeill, Adam Metts and Greg Woofter rest early in the first quarter.

Coach Caldwell with the offensive line. Caldwell coached at N.C. State from 1986-99.

Darian Durant (11) runs to his left for a 4-yard gain to the State 22 during Carolina's first scoring drive. A penalty for a late hit on the play then moved the ball to the 11-yard line.
