Florida State survived a shoot-out as they scored late in the 4th quarter, and then held on to beat N.C. State on Homecoming.

Bert Reed's 3-yard touchdown run with 1:36 left lifted Florida State to a 45-42 win over North Carolina State on Saturday.

N.C. State took its first lead in the game at 42-38 with 3:50 left when Russell Wilson found Jarvis Williams for his third touchdown catch of the game.

Jermaine Thomas ran for a career high 186 yards and a pair of touchdowns and freshman Chris Thompson scored twice on short runs for the Seminoles (4-4, 2/3 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Wilson threw for 349 yards and a career-best five TDs in a losing effort for the Wolfpack (3-5, 0-4).

The smallest home crowd at Florida State since 1993, 67,712, witnessed the game.
