D'Eriq King Totals 535 Yards, 5 TDs as No. 11 Miami Avoids NC State's Upset Bid

Miami quarterback D'Eriq King completed 31 of 41 passes for 430 yards and five touchdowns and added 15 carries for 105 rushing yards as the No. 11 Hurricanes stymied a valiant upset attempt from the NC State Wolfpack en route to a 44-41 road win at Carter-Finley Stadium on Friday.

A seesaw game ended in Miami's favor after King found Michael Harley for a 54-yard score to give the Hurricanes the lead with 2:43 remaining.    

Following Miami's extra point, NC State quarterback Bailey Hockman threw an interception, and the Hurricanes ran out the clock in response.

Harley caught eight passes for 153 yards and two scores from King, who also found the senior for a 20-yard score early in the second quarter.

King's other touchdowns went to tight end Will Mallory for three yards, wide receiver Dee Wiggins for 39 yards and wideout Mark Pope for 17 yards.

The toss to Wiggins helped Miami tie NC State at 14 following a successful extra point:

Miami gained 620 yards of total offense thanks largely to King's efforts.

The redshirt senior, who transferred from Houston in January, earned a unique honor by virtue of his Friday night performance, per ESPN Stats & Info:

He also added this milestone, per the Associated Press' Tim Reynolds:

Naturally, people were impressed with his work, including ESPN's Ben Baby, ESPN's Chris Fallica and Michael Lev of the Arizona Star:

King and the 6-1 Hurricanes, whose only loss was to the undefeated No. 1 Clemson Tigers, will now pay a visit to Virginia Tech on Nov. 14.
