January 1, 1970

Ted Brown closed out his collegiate career with an outstanding game as the Wolfpack defeated 16th-ranked Pittsburgh, 30-17, in the 33rd annual Tangerine Bowl. 

Brown, who was the Most Valuable Player, carried the ball 28 times for 126 yards, including a one-yard plunge for NC State’s first score. Following Brown’s touchdown, the Pack took a 10-0 lead when kicker Nathan Ritter nailed a 51-yard field goal to establish a Tangerine Bowl record that stood until 2007. On the Pack’s next possession, reserve quarterback John Isley connected with flanker Lee Jukes on a 55-yard scoring bomb. 

The Pack’s tough defense shut down Pitt’s highly-regarded offense, keeping the Panthers out of the end zone until the fourth quarter.
