RALEIGH, N.C. - Finally able to exhale after a dominant first half and a harrowing, gut-wrenching finish, the University of Central Florida's players sprinted the length of the field to celebrate arguably the program's biggest victory with a couple of thousand of their fans.

Up 22 points after a shocking first-half performance, UCF had to hold on for dear life in the second half of its landmark 25-23 defeat of North Carolina State.
