NC State will start MJ Morris at quarterback against Marshall this weekend, coach Dave Doeren announced Monday.
Morris replaces veteran Brennan Armstrong, who transferred to the Wolfpack from Virginia for his final season in hopes of a fresh start. But Armstrong has struggled through five games, going 94-of-160 for 971 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions. He has added 286 yards rushing and three touchdowns on the ground.
In a 13-10 home loss to Louisville last week, Armstrong threw two interceptions and passed for only 112 yards. The Wolfpack rank as one of the worst offenses in the country, averaging 345 yards per game.
