During the bye week, I wrote that given where the Wolfpack were at that point, a redshirt for NC State QB M.J. Morris should still be on the table as a consideration depending on his and the team’s performance over the two weeks immediately following State’s bye. It’s only been one game since then, but two things have changed.
First, NC State knocked off Clemson to put the team within one game of bowl eligibility. If Morris is the quarterback best suited to help the Wolfpack get that sixth win (spoiler alert: he is), then he should be playing no matter what.
