Mike Glennon threw touchdown passes to four different players and N.C. State had four second-half interceptions on the way to a 38-24 victory over visiting Central Michigan on Saturday.
Glennon, who has 16 touchdown passes, threw for 244 yards and no interceptions as the Wolfpack (3-3) avoided a three-game losing streak in the first meeting between the two teams.
David Amerson’s second interception, his sixth of the season, came in the end zone to squash a Central Michigan drive with 5:38 left in the game.
Central Michigan (2-4), which is 0-7 against ACC schools, led 17-14 in the second quarter before Glennon’s 2-yard scoring strike to Steven Howard with 3:30 left.
T.J. Graham passed Torry Holt to move into second place on the N.C State career all-purpose yards list. He had two catches for 56 yards and 83 return yards Saturday.
Cody Wilson, who caught one of Ryan Radcliff’s two touchdown passes for Central Michigan, had a reception for the 25th straight game. Radcliff completed 15 of 17 passes for 196 yards in the first half, but was picked off four times in the second.
Paris Cotton had 157 yards rushing for the Chippewas -- 77 coming on a fourth-quarter touchdown run.
