The Wolf Pack (7-3, 3-3) is scrambling after losing three-year quarterback starter Devin Leary to a season ending injury in a 19-17 win over Florida State. N. C. State. graduate transfer backup Jack Chambers started in the loss to Syracuse. True freshman M.J. Morris entered the following week off the bench and led the Pack to a 22-21 comeback victory over Virginia Tech.
