Coach Dick Sheridan brought his 20^th ranked, 6-1 North Carolina State Wolfpack to meet the 25^th ranked, 5-1-1 South Carolina Gamecocks of coach Sparky Woods.  North Carolina State broke a 4^th quarter 10-10 tie when QB Shane Montgomery threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to WR Al Byrd as the Wolfpack claimed The Belt with a 20-10 victory over the Gamecocks.  South Carolina had to play without QB Todd Ellis who suffered a season-ending knee injury on the Gamecocks’ first possession of the game.  North Carolina State took the lead in the 1^st quarter when RB Greg Manior scored on a 5-yard touchdown run.  South Carolina got a 20-yard field goal from PK Collin Mackie in the 2^nd quarter but still trailed 7-3 at the half.  In the 3^rd quarter, Wolfpack's PK Damon Hartman put North Carolina State ahead 10-3.  Early in the 4^th quarter, the Gamecocks tied the game at 10-10 when RB Harold Green broke loose for a 36-yard touchdown run.  Byrd caught the pass from Montgomery midway through the final period & broke 3 tackles on his way to the end zone.  Hartman’s 33-yard field goal provided the final margin of victory.  Montgomery threw for 294 yards with a touchdown & WR Mike Kavulic had 6 catches for 109 yards.  Green rushed for 115 yards with his touchdown while QB Dickie DeMasi, filling in for the injured Ellis, threw for just 65 yards completing 4 of 12 pass attempts with an interception while being sacked 5 times in the loss.  The Gamecocks finished the season 6-4-1 while the Wolfpack finished 7-5.  South Carolina would play for The Belt again in 1999.
