ORLANDO, Fla. — Russell Wilson has been asked the question all season: Will he make an early move toward professional baseball or come back as North Carolina State's quarterback next year?

The answer only became more muddled in Wilson's possible finale.

Wilson threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns to lead N.C. State past No. 22 West Virginia 23-7 in the Champs Sports Bowl Tuesday night.

Now comes decision time, and giving up one dream for a chance at another won't be easy.

“I want to be a starting quarterback in the NFL one day,” Wilson said. “And I want to be a starting second baseman in Major League Baseball one day.”

If this was his final game at quarterback, he gave fans something to remember

Wilson also had 41 yards rushing, Josh Czajkowski made three field goals and the Wolfpack (9-4) won nine games for the first time since 2002.

Geno Smith had 196 yards passing and an injured Noel Devine ran for 50 yards for the Mountaineers (9-4), whose five second-half turnovers ended any hopes of a cheerful send-off for some of Bill Stewart's staff.

Stewart is being slowly moved out as coach, with Dana Holgorsen, Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator, taking over at the same position next year at West Virginia before moving into Stewart's job in 2012. The game was the last for current offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen.

How it will all work remains a mystery.

“I don't mean to be a wise(guy), but this is not the time to talk about next year,” Stewart said. “I just finished a bowl game. I'll see them Jan. 9 and we'll start preparation then for 2011.”
