RALEIGH, N.C. -- Now that North Carolina State is aware of Boston Colleges long losing streak in the ACC, the Wolfpack want no part of being the team to end it.The Eagles havent won an Atlantic Coast Conference game in nearly two full years, and bring a 12-game league losing streak into Saturdays game at N.C. State.Were frustrated with where we are right now, we also are encouraged by where the potential is, and weve got to keep developing, blossoming, and were not that far off, coach Steve Addazio said.Not a lot has gone right recently for the Eagles (3-4, 0-4), who have fallen back into last place in the Atlantic Division after two straight league losses . They rank last in the league in both points (21) and total yards (316.6) per game, and havent won a conference game since November 2014.The Wolfpack players insisted they were unaware of BCs run of in-league futility.Winning a football game is hard right now -- its a play here or a play there, N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said. I look at the film and see BC as a very physical, formidable opponent. ... Youve got to do things right to beat them.Doeren and the Wolfpack (4-3, 1-2) know all about the difficulties of winning lately. N.C. State seemingly had No. 3 Clemson beat two weeks ago , but missed a chip-shot field goal at the end of regulation and lost in overtime, then followed that up at No. 5 Louisville by falling behind by 44 points at halftime of a 54-13 loss.One week, youre heartbroken and in shock, and the next weekend we didnt play good, Doeren said, calling it an embarrassing feeling.Youre on top of the world, and all of a sudden, it was taken from you, he added. Youve got to deal with them differently. Weve got to flush them both and move on.---Some things to know about the Boston College-N.C. State game:TOWLES ON: Addazio hopes QB Patrick Towles will be healthy enough to play after he injured a hamstring in last weeks loss to Syracuse. He was just 4 of 15 for 45 yards in that game with an interception and a fumble, and gained 75 of his career-best 104 yards rushing on one play, a touchdown run on which he injured his hamstring.FINLEYS FINE: N.C. State QB Ryan Finley has thrown four interceptions in his last two games after not throwing any during the first five. He also completed barely over half his passes in those two losses after hitting on nearly 70 percent in the first five games. Center Joe Scelfo isnt worried about him, saying Finley will be fine.ANOTHER TOUGH D: The Wolfpack are playing a top-11 defense for the third consecutive week. The Eagles are seventh in total defense, giving up 292 total yards per game. N.C. State previously faced Clemsons ninth-ranked defense and a Louisville unit that was 11th in that stat category.PACKS TURNOVERS: N.C. State has forced an ACC-best eight fumbles, ranking eighth in the Bowl Subdivision in that stat. That could mean trouble for a BC offense that has lost seven fumbles in seven games.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.

DURHAM, N.C. -- A North Carolina football player facing charges of sexual battery and assault on a female student says the two had consensual sex and that he did not rape or drug her.In his first public comments, Allen Artis said Tuesday he isnt a rapist and is eager to get the case behind him. One of his attorneys, Kerry Sutton, also said Artis has passed a polygraph test about the February incident.Everything was completely consensual that happened that night, said a very composed Artis, who was sitting on a couch in his attorneys home flanked by his mother Stephanie Artis and an aunt Avis Artis. Thats the truth.The junior reserve linebacker, indefinitely suspended from the team, turned himself earlier this month on the misdemeanor charges. His next court date is set for Thursday.The arrest warrant stated Artis had sex with a female UNC student against her will when he should have reasonably known that the other person was mentally incapacitated and physically helpless.The warrant also states he pulled on her bra strap causing an indentation on her shoulder/back during the incident.The woman, Delaney Robinson, said earlier this month she had become intoxicated after being out with friends and unable to consent. The Associated Press typically doesnt identify alleged victims of sexual assault, but Robinson held a Sept. 13 news conference, saying she had filed for the misdemeanor charges after police and prosecutors indicated there wasnt enough evidence to pursue felony charges.Artis said he was surprised, hurt, distraught and worried about his reputation being tarnished when he learned of the charges.I had cooperated with the police, been interviewed by them, and I was waiting on their process, for them to decide, and have justice come out that way and have the truth come out that way, Artis said. Then when that occurred and I found out there were charges, I was surprised.Artis said he had been drinking the night of the incident, but he did not see Robinson drinking. He said they met that night and that Robinson was conscious during consensual sex.Denise Branch, an attorney representing Robinson, issued a statement reiterating Robinsons allegation that sex was not consensual.On February 14, 2016, my client Delaney Robinson was raped and assaulted by Allen Artis, Branch said in an email to the AP.dddddddddddd On September 13, 2016, she presented admissible evidence in support of her case to a magistrate. As a result, two misdemeanor warrants were issued for the arrest of Allen Artis. Any purported, and inherently unreliable polygraph test does not alter the fact that my client never consented to have sex with Allen Artis.Branch had released a photo showing what appeared to be bruises on Robinsons neck at the time, though Sutton questioned Tuesday whether it has been altered to appear darker.Orange County district attorney Jim Woodall told the AP on Tuesday that the case remains an ongoing investigation. He said he was aware of the polygraph report, and is also in communication with Branch and Robinson.I cant say when it will be complete, and I am personally involved in speaking with the UNC Department of Public Safety, Woodall said. We did not have a file, we were only advising them, and last week I got the full file. I have reviewed everything that we have to date in the investigation, and Im going to continue to review it.Branch has also criticized the way campus police handled a rape kit and the questioning of Artis, a native of Marietta, Georgia.Artis indefinite suspension was the result of an automatic university policy when an athlete is charged with a misdemeanor. Any reinstatement would come after a review from athletic director Bubba Cunningham, head coach Larry Fedora and school officials.Artis has played in 27 career games as a reserve and on special teams with 20 tackles. He last practiced Sept. 11, two days before Robinsons news conference.Artis said is attending classes with plans to graduate in May with a double-major in economics and management and society. He hopes to return to football.I want the truth to get out and I want to try and help fix my reputation, Artis said of the decision to speak to reporters.My last name I share with everyone in my family. And so thats really important to me, that my name means something and the people that I share that with -- my family -- arent hurt by that.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
