 ORLANDO, Fla. -- Russell Wilson threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns, leading North Carolina State past No. 22 West Virginia 23-7 in the Champs Sports Bowl on Tuesday night.
 
Wilson also had 41 yards rushing, Josh Czajkowski made three field goals and the Wolfpack (9-4) won nine games for only the second time in school history.
 
Geno Smith had 196 yards passing and an injured Noel Devine ran for 50 yards for the Mountaineers (9-4), who had five second-half turnovers that ended any hopes of a cheerful sendoff for some of Bill Stewart's staff.
 
Dana Holgorsen, Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator, is taking over at the same position next year at West Virginia before moving into Stewart's job in 2012.
