CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Another big victory was slipping away from North Carolina State. Because the Wolfpack finally learned how to finish a game, their season isnt finished just yet.Jaylen Samuels ran for one touchdown and threw for another on a trick play, and N.C. State held on to upset rival North Carolina 28-21 on Friday, earning bowl eligibility while also locking up a division title for Virginia Tech.Its been a frustrating season for the Wolfpack (6-6, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who seemingly had victories in hand against a pair of nationally ranked division rivals -- Clemson and Florida State -- only to let them get away.It definitely makes you feel the worth of all your work, coach Dave Doeren said. Were playing every game but one -- Louisville -- for four quarters, toe to toe, with every team. We havent won enough of them. I agree. But we are so much more competitive than weve ever been.In what at times seemed like a replay of N.C. States 35-7 rout here two years ago, Matt Dayes rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns. The second of those put the Wolfpack up 21-0 early in the second quarter.Samuels threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to Stephen Louis on a trick play on the opening drive, and ran 4 yards for the TD that made it 28-7.Mitch Trubisky threw three touchdown passes for the Tar Heels (8-4, 5-3), including a 48-yarder to Bug Howard that made it a seven-point game with 7:52 left. But on their next possession, they were stopped on downs near midfield with 3:10 to go and N.C. State ran out the clock -- with backup quarterback Jalen McClendon sealing it with a 14-yard run on third-and-5 with about 2 minutes left.Its about these players and these coaches hanging together amid a lot of heartbreaking days and negativity and doubt, Doeren said. Guys just kept fighting with each other and for each other and they knew where our program is headed. ... Today was about mastering ourselves and finding a way to win and doing it against our rival.The Tar Heels, 10 1/2-point favorites, needed a win and a Virginia Tech loss to Virginia to earn a second straight ACC championship game berth. This loss locks the Hokies into next weeks matchup with No. 4 Clemson in Orlando, Florida.THE TAKEAWAYN.C. State: This should take some heat off Doeren, who had been drawing criticism from a segment of the fan base after going 8-23 in ACC games before this one. In four years, Doeren now has won almost as many ACC games at UNCs Kenan Stadium (two) as he has at his own Carter-Finley Stadium (three).North Carolina: By losing to a pair of neighborhood rivals -- both of whom were under .500 at the time -- the Tar Heels blew their chance to repeat as Coastal champions. They lost to Duke and N.C. State in the same season for the first time since 2003, and in some ways this game felt like an extension of the loss in Durham -- with the Tar Heels managing a combined 13 points in the last two quarters of that game and the first three of this one.Thats on us, running back Elijah Hood said about the teams lack of focus. Weve got to go out there -- were on the football field, the balls coming to us, weve got to make that catch. Theres really no excuse for it.THE BRAWLThings got chippy late in the first half when UNC DT Jalen Dalton was ejected for throwing a punch during a fight that cleared the benches. The skirmish broke out near midfield with about six minutes left in the half after N.C. States Matt Dayes fumbled. The ball squirted about 20 yards downfield with at least four players trying to scoop it up. That led to a pileup near midfield, and Dalton appeared to hit Wolfpack lineman Terronne Prescod. Later in the skirmish, UNC coach Larry Fedora unsuccessfully tried to restrain Dalton by the back of his collar. After a review, the pass was ruled incomplete.KEY MOMENTNorth Carolina trailed 21-7 at halftime and started the second half by recovering an onside kick to seemingly seize momentum. But during an official review, it was determined that Ayden Bonilla had delivered an illegal block before Anthony Ratliff-Williams recovered the ball. That wiped out the recovery and required a rekick, and N.C. State then chewed up 6 1/2 minutes with a 14-play drive that ended with Samuels touchdown run that made it 28-7.UP NEXTN.C. State: This victory earned the Wolfpack a spot in a bowl game, and on Dec. 4 theyll find out who and where they play.North Carolina: The Tar Heels wont have to worry about flying to Orlando next week for the ACC championship game. Instead, theyll await their bowl opponent.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

Cheap Jordan 1 Retro Blue . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. There was just a bit of uncertainty heading into Tuesdays opening leg of Major League Soccers all-Canadian Eastern Conference championship.The Montreal Impact and Toronto FC are due to meet Tuesday night at historic Olympic Stadium, a 40-year-old Montreal landmark built for the 1976 Olympics.Even though its an indoor venue, a concern going into the match was the weather: The stadium roof is fragile -- and snow was falling in the city Monday. But a stadium heating system appeared to be keeping any accumulation at bay and the Olympic Park announced the game would go on as planned.The Impact normally play at Stade Saputo, which sits next door to the Olympic Stadium but seats just over 20,000. Nearly 60,000 are expected for the match.The Impact has played games at the Big O, so the home-field advantage is still there, but the condition of the artificial turf -- which lies atop concrete -- might be a factor. Saputos surface is natural grass.As far as the surface, of course, we would like to get to this point to such important games and playing the best possible conditions, but thats just one factor among many others in the game, Toronto star Sebastian Giovinco said.Some of those other factors to consider for the two-legged MLS conference finals:TORONTO VERSES MONTREALMontreal finished 11-11-12 in the regular season for the fifth seed in the East. The Impact defeated the New York Red Bulls 3-1 on aggregate in the conference semifinals to advance. Theyre led by Argentinian midfielder Ignacio Piatti, who scored 17 goals in the regular season and three in the playoffs.The Impact appear to have gotten past the controversy involving former Chelsea star Didier Drogba, who lost his role as a starter to Matteo Mancosu. Drogba sat out of Montreals second-to-last regular season match against Toronto, a 2-2 draw, because of the demotion. But he told reporters last week that he was focused on taking the Impact to the MLS Cup championship.Toronto was the No. 3 seed in the East after going 14-9-11 in the regular season. TFC advanced to the conference finals with a 7-0 aggregate victory over New York City FC. The team is led by Giovinco, who has 21 total goals this season, including four in the postseason.The Impact defeated Toronto in the knockout round of the playoffs last year.Last year was just a small taste, Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney said last week in a conference call with reporters. We started extremely poorly in that game and paid for that, but I think it was just a taste of the rivalry continuing to build between these two franchises.dddddddddddd Its a Montreal-Toronto rivalry in hockey and other sports that goes way, way back. We have enough guys on the roster from last year who remember that day and were embarrassed on that day, as was myself, but our mentality will be different than it was last year.COLORADO VERSUS SEATTLEThe Sounders went 14-14-6 during the regular season for the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference. Seattles story is the teams incredible rebound from last place in the conference and the dismissal of longtime coach Sigi Schmid. The interim tag was removed from coach Brian Schmetzers title earlier this month. The Sounders, who defeated FC Dallas 4-2 on aggregate in the semifinals, are led by homegrown rookie Jordan Morris with 12 overall goals.Colorado, which finished 15-6-13 in the regular season and narrowly missed out on the Supporters Shield, got a knockout-round bye as the second seed in the West. Known more for their stout defense, the Rapids are led by Swiss forward Shkelzen Gashi with 10 goals in his first MLS season. The Rapids advanced after a penalty shootout with the Los Angeles Galaxy following a 1-1 semifinal.Colorado won the MLS Cup in 2010.Both teams have been stung by injuries this season. For the Sounders it was the unexpected loss of national team star Clint Dempsey because of a heart issue.For the Rapids it has been the loss of goalkeeper Tim Howard, who had season-ending surgery Thursday after suffering a fracture of the right adductor longus in his groin while on duty with the U.S. national team.Colorado will start Zac McMath, who lost the job when Howard joined the Rapids in July after 10 seasons with Everton in the English Premier League. McMath was one of the best goalkeepers in the league at 9-2-5 when Howard arrived.Credit to Zac for being very strong mentally, and prepared, Rapids coach Pablo Mastroeni said. It takes a man to be able to take that information, given his performances, and not sulk and not throw his toy and not run out of the room and slam doors, to look at someone in the face and go, `OK, this is your decision, all right. Im a team player; Ive got to respect that.
