Finley throws 3 TDs, NC State beats Marshall 37-20

RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State's slow start had nothing to do with losing last week. The Wolfpack's strong finish had everything to do with finding a rhythm.

Ryan Finley threw three touchdown passes and N.C. State beat Marshall 37-20 on Saturday night.

Reggie Gallaspy added two scoring runs while Finley was 29 of 36 for 341 yards with scores covering 24 yards to Stephen Louis, 34 yards to Kelvin Harmon and 39 yards on a flea-flicker pass to Jaylen Samuels that jump-started a sputtering offense.

"We've just got to start off as fast as we finished," defensive end Bradley Chubb said.
